Select Board member John Coutinho (in bottom photos) and 26.2 Foundation director Bruce MacDonald placed protective masks on the two Boston Marathon statues in town — The Starter and Team Hoyt — to show support for the fight against COVID-19. The masks were created by Hopkinton High School student Emily Karp.
