- Please close basketball courts in the city! I live in the north end where there are several basketball courts. Today they were all full of people playing basketball while the rest of us are doing our best to practice physical distancing from each other. The most disturbing was a group of eight 20-something's playing full-contact basketball outside the Nazarro Center. I have friends and colleagues that are on the front lines in hospitals risking their lives and the lives of their families to fight this thing. If people are not going to comply with the states mandate to remain physically distant from eachother please make it as difficult as possible for people to do so and close the basketball courts and enforce the mandate. Thank you.
