Boston Mayor Marty Walsh announced strict new measures for social and physical distancing in a bid to reduce an expected surge in COVID-19 infections in the city.

“I cannot stress enough that the actions we take now through the next several weeks will help curb the spread of this virus, and save lives,” Walsh said in a statement after the city saw its largest one-day jump in reported cases.
