THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 15, 2020 Page 13 MASKS | FROM PAGE 8 may have the virus and do not know it from transmitting it to others. It is worth repeating that Covid-19 spreads person-to-person through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It is a BEACH | FROM PAGE 1 tance of social distancing. He also told beachgoers that they would be a lot safer if they just stayed home. On April 2, Governor Charlie Baker issued an emergency order aimed at limiting crowds and containing the virus at state parks and beaches, including Revere Beach. The order prohibits all sitting, sunbathing and stationary recreational activities. Athletic and recreational activities that bring players into close contact with one another are also prohibited. And the parking lane along the ocean side of Revere Beach Boulevard is closed as well as beach parking lots. At the beginning of this month, Arrigo joined volunteers who set up tables at the beach to hand out bags with face masks, gloves and alcohol wipes to beachgoers. It took less than an hour to distribute 1,000 bags with the protective gear. “The weather hasn’t been that great lately so there haven’t been a lot of people at the beach,” said Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna. According to McKenna, people who were at the beach last week were moving along and there weren’t any groups or crowds. “Some people were wearing masks, some weren’t,” she said. “It depends on the people.” Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky usually drives along the beach every day. Like McKenna, he has seen people moving along, and while a lot of people were wearing face masks, there are still people ignoring Baker’s order requiring some type of face covering when entering public and private buildings and in outdoor spaces if social distancing isn’t always possible. “I would say about 60 permedical fact that a person can be infected with Covid-19 and yet experience no symptoms. Equate the respiratory droplets of an infected person to a lethal weapon. A symptom-free infected person is like a sniper randomly fi ring a weapon into a crowd. When you wear a mask, you cent of the people were wearing face masks,” said Novoselsky, adding that he didn’t see much congregating or multi-person gatherings. “All we can do is advise people,” said Novoselsky. “The mayor is doing his best with the beach and he’s doing a great job.” The councillors also said that a lot of people who go to the beach aren’t residents of Revere. And while shutting down parking has made things a little better, it’s not hard for out-of-town visitors to fi nd a parking spot on a side street and walk a few blocks to the beach. “People need an outlet and the beach is their outlet,” said McKenna. “I have my yard for an outlet but people in apartments don’t have yards.” Arrigo said reopening the city and relaxing restrictions will require a careful and measured approach. “I certainly don’t want to see any scenes at the beach that we may have seen over the past couple of years. The great pictures I’ve seen recently of the sand sculpting festival, where you see hundreds of thousands of people down at the beach – I don’t think that’s going to be a reality this year,” he said. Some people believe that it might not be a reality for several years, but not McKenna. “It takes a while, but I think it’s just going to be a matter of time,” she said, predicting that a year from now face masks and social distancing will be nothing more than a bad memory. “We have a lot of brilliant people working together on this,” she said. In the meantime, Arrigo said, his top priority is keeping residents of Revere healthy and safe. “We’re going to look at every option to make sure the beach is a safe place,” he said. help protect your family, the people you encounter when you go for a walk, and the essential workers who have kept food on our tables, gasoline in our autos, and provide medical care for all. Covid-19’s dangerous potential is as true today as it was in March. Covid-19 will not take a break as the warm weather arrives. Do not regard the opening of businesses as a signal that the virus is any less a threat. It is as contagious and virulent as ever. In fact, as restrictions are loosened and businesses reopen to the public, it is even more imperative that we strictly observe protective practices. Keep in mind, the number of infecGIANNELLI tions and deaths in Massachusetts since March accumulated with drastic controls imposed on society. Many businesses were closed and everyone was advised to stay home specifi - cally to slow the virus spread. The carnage that might have occurred without those drastic measures is unthinkable. We now have a good grasp of how to control the spread: keep your distance from others, wash your hands, clean and disinfect surfaces, stay home when possible. And wear a mask in public. Those measures will be tested more than ever as society and business gets rolling again. If we disregard the precautions that we know will work, we will certainly imperil ourselves and our families. In Revere, we have made it a point to make sure our residents have a mask. Anyone can drive or walk up to the Rumney Marsh Academy between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, and obtain a mask. Or you can sign up for a mask at www.revere.org/coronavirus and we will make sure a mask is delivered to you. Yes, we have reason to smile as we carefully start to resume a life that includes regular work hours, shopping, dining in restaurants, church services, haircuts and more. But let’s keep those smiles hidden behind a mask for the foreseeable future. Our eyes can tell the story.
