'We’re At A Very Critical Point': Boston To Crack Down On Coronavirus Violations

BOSTON — Boston Mayor Marty Walsh announced Thursday that the city will be “cracking down” on people violating coronavirus protocols amid an uptick of cases. Walsh called out increased reports of house parties in South Boston and other neighborhoods and said officials are looking at strengthening enforcement and imposing fines on violators.

“Right now we’re at a very critical point in where we are with coronavirus,” Walsh said at a news conference. “If we don’t do what we need to do and we don’t start to take responsibility as individuals, we’re going to be in a potential case where I have to stand at this podium and talk about shutting down this city again.”

Walsh said he and city departments are talking about tightening enforcement on gathering limits, adding restrictions on unpermitted public events and “unsanctioned activities” in public parks.
