Mayor Walsh warned Boston residents that COVID-19 will likely have a second surge and encouraged them to take precautions as the city reopens.
“We continue to make equity in public health our priority in Boston,” said Walsh.
Walsh said that the money will go to battling both COVID-19 and Boston’s health inequities.
Walsh noted that Boston Public Schools’ summer learning programs are moving forward on a remote basis, as well as adult job programs.
The Small Business Relief Fund gave over $5.9 million to over 1,600 of Boston’s small businesses, said Walsh, and over 50% are owned by people of color.
