Stay home as much as possible, keep social distancing, and wear a face covering every time you leave the house. We’re also encouraging you to take time for personal reflection, and for spreading kindness. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

It’s also the best way to show our gratitude to everyone who is protecting others and keeping our city running during this difficult time. So we are asking you to join us in standing together while staying apart. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We’re calling on the people of Boston to do everything they can to protect their fellow Bostonians through #physicaldistancing. This is how we support the most vulnerable among us, like the elderly, and people with health conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

This year, One Boston Day will look a lot different. We won’t be able to host in-person events or volunteer projects for One Boston Day this year. But in many ways, the positive impact that people can make this year is bigger than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Every year since then, we have celebrated One Boston Day through remembrance and reflection—and with acts of kindness, big and small. This holiday has come to represent our city’s spirit, our values, and most of all, our resilience. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

It’s a tradition we started to commemorate our city’s response to that tragic event. As a community, we turned our grief into a powerful movement founded in peace, kindness, reflection, and hope. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

This Wednesday is April 15th: the 7th anniversary of the 2013 Boston Marathon. That means it’s One Boston Day. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Go to their website at https://t.co/sTp27YByoH and please call ahead to schedule your testing. This is the first of many community health centers we are working with to provide this critical service to communities of color. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Whittier Street has long been a champion of reducing health disparities, and the majority of their clients are people of color and immigrants. I want to thank them for stepping up and making these services available to everyone who needs them. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

In addition, we are working with the Whittier Street Health Center in Roxbury to help make testing more accessible to residents. Starting today, the Center will be offering scheduled rapid result testing to all. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We are already starting to put their ideas into action—because we know this work is about moving quickly and with urgency. I want to thank those leaders for their partnership. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

The Task Force will be reviewing our data to better understand the inequities that exist for Black, Latino, Asian, and immigrant populations. At their first meeting, they identified priority areas, including: testing, data, community action, and understanding the economic impact. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

This weekend, we also had our first meeting of the COVID-19 Health Inequities Task Force. This group is made up of leaders of color in the community, including doctors, faith leaders, and heads of our community health centers. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

So we have been collecting and sharing race and ethnicity data for cases in Boston, and are encouraging every jurisdiction to do the same. Those numbers are updated daily on https://t.co/CpPCgFL58d. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We are also making progress addressing how racial and ethnic inequities are shaping the impact of the virus. Data is critical in this work. We need to know how these inequities are playing out and what we can do to mitigate it. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

This weekend, we opened Boston Hope Medical Center at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. I want to sincerely thank all of our partners, especially the construction crew, who got it up and ready in under a week. #BostonHope #BostonStrong — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We are working as hard, and as quickly, as we can to get prepared and prevent further loss of life. That means increasing our medical capacity and our care capacity for vulnerable people. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

As we take daily steps to prevent over-capacity at hospitals, we also have to be prepared if this happens. The BCEC is temporarily functioning as the Boston Hope Medical Center, with 1,000 beds for COVID-19 patients in need of care. #BostonHope #BostonStrong https://t.co/cyVxsHbADt — PolitiTweet.org
