With the state’s covid-19 vaccine rollout in the initial stage, Mayor Martin Walsh said that although cases in Boston are “heading in the right direction,” residents should continue getting tested regularly.
“Testing does remain critical even as the vaccine becomes available to more groups. We want to encourage people to make testing a part of your regular routines, get tested once a week if at all possible, said Walsh.
The city continues to collaborate with the state on vaccine rollout, Walsh said, noting that several vaccination sites are up and running in the city, including the Reggie Lewis Center in Roxbury, Fenway Park, multiple sites operated by Community Health Centers, and 5 pharmacy locations.
