Out of an abundance of caution, Saturday's St. Patrick's Day parade in Lawrence has been canceled due to coronavirus concerns, officials announced Tuesday morning.

The parade was scheduled to step off on March 14 at 1 p.m. with Boston Mayor Marty Walsh serving as parade grand marshal.

Mayor Daniel Rivera announced the cancellation and noted there have been "zero confirmed cases" of coronavirus (COVID-19) in Essex County.

"The decision to cancel the parade is being made out of an abundance of caution in an effort to keep residents of Lawrence and the Greater Merrimack Valley safe and healthy," Rivera said in a statement.
