The St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York has been canceled for the first time in its 258-year history due to coronavirus concerns

“Why would you risk bringing thousands of people together knowing this is a virus that is easily communicable? St. Patrick’s Day is one of the great convenings of a large number of people,” Cuomo said at a press conference.

“If you listen to the experts, they are saying you should not have a St. Patrick’s Day convening at this time, which I believe makes sense.”said of COVID-19 , “This isn’t the flu. This is something very different. This is something that we don’t know what the end result will be.” “While the risk in Boston remains low, this situation is changing very quickly and we are closely monitoring any local cases,” Walsh said in a statement. “Our top priority is preventing any new cases, to the best of our ability, and we are paying close attention to guidance from public health officials.”

However, Walsh acknowledged that although the parade had been canceled, Bostonians would still celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
