BOSTON
- Monday, March 9, 2020 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh today issued the following
statement regarding the 2020 St. Patrick's Day Parade in South Boston:
"In
collaboration with Congressman Lynch, Councilors Flaherty and Flynn, Senator
Collins, Representative Biele, and David Falvey from the South Boston Allied
War Veterans Council, the St. Patrick's Day Parade is being cancelled. This
decision is being made out of an abundance of caution to ensure that we are
doing what is needed to keep the residents of Boston safe and healthy.
"While
the risk in Boston remains low, this situation is changing very quickly and
we are closely monitoring any local cases. Our top priority is preventing any
new cases, to the best of our ability, and we are paying close attention to
guidance from public health officials. We encourage all residents to follow
preventive measures to avoid illness, such as washing hands and staying home
if you are feeling sick, and we will continue to make public any information
as this situation develops in Boston."
