Updated: 6:36 PM EDT Jul 27, 2021 The president of the Boston City Council has instituted a new COVID-19 protocol for staff members and interns in light of rising coronavirus cases.In a memo sent Tuesday, Council President Matt O Malley wrote that he will require all Boston City Council staff and interns who work in-person to either show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or submit to weekly COVID-19 testing starting Aug. 30.As of July 20, the city of Boston is averaging 46.6 new positive COVID-19 cases per day. The city s positivity rate has also ticked up to 2.2%. The delta variant is causing cases to rise nationally for mostly unvaccinated and some vaccinated people as it is more transmissible, O Malley said in the memo. We must make every effort to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and keep each other safe and protected in our workplace. I hope that these guidelines encourage other employers in the city of Boston to implement a similar policy. Local universities, privat
