San Francisco Rolls Back Reopening as COVID-19 Cases Increase Significantly
San Francisco Mayor London N. Breed and Director of Health Dr. Grant Colfax on Tuesday announced the City will adjust its reopening due to a significant and rapid increase in COVID-19 case rates in San Francisco, coupled with the current increase in cases and hospitalizations in California and across the United States. Since October 2, San Francisco has experienced a 250% increase in COVID-19 cases.
San Francisco will temporarily roll back the reopening of indoor dining and will reduce the capacity of fitness centers and movie theaters. San Francisco will also pause the reopening of indoor instruction at high schools that have not already opened. These changes will go into effect at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, November 13, 2020.
San Francisco is rolling back these activities in an effort to contain the spread of the virus by focusing on higher risk indoor activities and other behaviors that increase the concentration of aerosols.
Mayor Breed says, “I cannot emphasize enough how important it is that everyone act responsibly to reduce the spread of the virus. Every San Franciscan needs to do their part so that we can start moving in the right direction again. Right now, our public health officials are telling us we need to take these steps to get the virus under control and save lives – so that’s what we’re doing.”
