TD Garden To Require Proof of Vaccination or Negative COVID Test for Bruins and Celtics Fans

Anyone hoping to attend an event at the TD Garden — including Bruins or Celtics games and concerts — will be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result. The rules apply to players, referees, coaches, musicians, vendors, ushers and everyone else entering the arena. Meanwhile, the union that represents about 1,800 Massachusetts State Police troopers has gone before a judge to ask for a delay in the implementation of Gov. Charlie Baker’s state employee coronavirus vaccine mandate. A hearing on the suit was held Wednesday. The number of newly confirmed coronavirus deaths in Massachusetts rose by 24 Wednesday.
