A man who recently traveled to Canada is being treated at Massachusetts General Hospital for monkeypox. It's a virus where symptoms include flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes, and rashes on one's face and body. The virus tends to last between two to four weeks, as Boston 25 points out.
If you're employed by the City of Boston and you have an abortion or your child is aborted, you can now get up to 12 weeks of paid leave from your job.
That's thanks to an amended version of the city's paid leave ordinance that passed unanimously through a voice vote during a meeting of the Boston City Council on September 15, 2021. Boston's acting mayor Kim Janey signed the ordinance on September 17 and it went into effect immediately, according to a spokesman for the mayor.
