BOSTON (AP) Boston is joining several other cities including Arlington, Brockton, Lynn, Newton, Somerville, and Winthrop in again tightening restrictions in an effort to reduce the spread of the coronavirus, which has again surged in Massachusetts.
Starting Wednesday, Boston will return to what Mayor Marty Walsh described as a modified version of phase two of the state’s reopening plan.
Walsh said the steps were needed following a steady climb in COVID-19 cases in the weeks following Thanksgiving.
“Unfortunately, we are at the point where we need to take stronger action to control COVID-19 in Boston,” Walsh said.

Museum officials said the closure will take effect Monday and reopen by Jan. 7.
“While disheartening during this time when the Museum normally welcomes thousands of children to enjoy festive exhibits and programs, we are confident that this step is in the best interest of our staff and visitors,” museum president and chief executive Carole Charnow said in a statement Sunday.
