ANSWERS able eff orts into assuring the Revere Beach experience remains a safe and enjoyable place for all despite the uncertain and unnerving times we fi nd ourselves in.” Funding from community sponsors and partners, including The HYM Investment Group and Save The Harbor/Save The Bay, has allowed RBP to install 16 touchless handwashing stations along Revere Beach for patrons to use and help prevent the spread of COVID-19. These handwashing stations will come equipped with a scannable QR code that will direct people to a webpage that contains safe use guidelines for the beach. In addition to the implementation of handwashing stations, RBP will be conducting weekly beach sanitization efforts and a mask and children’s sand bucket giveaway. These efforts will take place each Wednesday through August 26 and will be limited to 25 people. “There’s no better place to be on a hot summer day than Revere Beach, but this summer is unlike any other and we remain focused on ensuring public health and safety,” said Mayor Brian Arrigo. “Working with DCR and Revere Beach Partnership, we’ll continue to take steps to increase awareness of safe beach practices and provide people with the resources they need to keep themselves healthy. We know now that masks are one of our strongest defenses against the spread of COVID-19, and reaching every visitor to the beach with that message and a mask if they need one will go a long way. I’m grateful for all the Partnership’s work to make sure people can continue to enjoy our beautiful beach, despite these unprecedented challenges.” Revere Beach Partnership President Jeff Turco encouraged people to wear a mask at “America’s First Public Beach” to be safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
