Late last week, the city of Boston lifted its mandate requiring people to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 to dine in restaurants, workout in gyms and attend other public venues, including convention centers.

Diversified Communications, organizer of the upcoming Seafood Expo North American (SENA) in Boston, March 13 -1 5, shortly after followed suit, announcing on its website that proof of vaccination against COVID-19 will no longer be required to attend the event.
