A lot of hard work went into opening our pools safely, and we ask for everyone’s co-operation to make this plan a success. https://t.co/t222Dlpgdz — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Due to #COVID19, new protocols are in place: ✅Pool capacity will be 40% of normal. ✅That translates to 75 people or fewer at a time. ✅You have to register for a time slot at https://t.co/tAaK7N285o. — PolitiTweet.org

We want to have the outdoor pools available as an opportunity for cooling off and getting exercise during the summer. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Starting tomorrow, the @CityofBoston’s two outdoor swimming pools will be open to the public. Right now, the indoor pools at @BCYFcenters are only open for youth in summer programs. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We encourage people during a heat wave not to be out in the middle of the day, if at all possible. At the same time, we know that outdoor spaces are essential resources for fresh air, exercise, recreation, and mental health. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

This weekend and yesterday presented another challenge with a heat wave. We opened 20 @BCYFcenters to the public as cooling centers, at 40% of building capacity for distancing needs. https://t.co/Pzpz8G6sJx — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We’re grateful for a partnership with @EBNHC to operate the program. To see what testing sites are open near you, check the map at https://t.co/CpPCgFL58d, call 311, or call your health care provider. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a dedicated, City-led effort to meet community needs and ensure that we get testing wherever there might be gaps in access or evidence of inequity. — PolitiTweet.org

It starts today at the Jackson Mann Community Center in Allston. It will move to a different neighborhood every two weeks. https://t.co/GZSH2yEayV — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve worked to bring mobile testing to communities and locations where access is an issue. Today, we are launching a new mobile testing team that will be operating for the next three months, across the city. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Testing is available at more than 20 locations across the city. It’s covered by insurance if you meet state criteria. But we’ve worked hard to support sites that are free for all, whether you have symptoms or not. https://t.co/gduYSvqlXS https://t.co/QoGSKEdzd7 — PolitiTweet.org

If you have any concerns at all about exposure, get tested. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

I will repeat what everyone needs to be doing: 😷 Wear a face covering. 📏 Keep 6 feet of distance and avoid crowds. 🧼 Wash your hands and clean your surfaces. ✅ Follow all the public health guidelines for your place of work or business. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

For the week ending July 13, our positive test rate was 2.1%. That’s down from 2.5% the week before. Our overall positive test rate since the pandemic began is now down to 14.2%. That’s good news. Our job is to keep that trend going. — PolitiTweet.org

We continue to move forward cautiously in Step 1 of Phase 3 of the state reopening plan. We are watching the data closely every day. Our recovery metrics are still where they need to be. — PolitiTweet.org
