Framingham Mayor Yvonne M. Spice announced a similar order Wednesday, requiring those over the age of five to wear face coverings in city buildings when social distancing is not possible.

Lawrence will also increase vaccine access in the city with a “Summer Series” beginning Aug. 7 that will bring vaccines to “the heart of the neighborhoods that need it most,” according to another Facebook post from Vasquez.
