Lowell Board of Health unanimously grants a Pine Street seafood market the right to clean whole fish for customers.

Members also approved a new funeral director's license for Mahoney Funeral Home, 4-1 with one abstention.

A tuberculosis contact-tracing gap, 16 cases but only seven identified contacts, drew pointed board questions.
