Anyone who is watching what is happening across the country right now with COVID-19 cases should be alarmed.

Here in San Francisco we're seeing increased cases as well, and today we have been moved to the State's Red Tier.

Here's what this means for us:

Effective tomorrow, non-essential offices will have to halt indoor operations until further notice. Offices will have to return to 100% remote and telework operations.

Fitness centers (including gyms, hotel fitness facilities, and climbing walls) may remain open at 10% capacity.

Here in San Francisco, we have to keep our focus on what we can do. Your actions have saved thousands of lives, and we cannot lose sight of that.

We still have time to slow the growth of cases if we all do our part.

We can’t give in to complacency, fatigue, and frustration.

I know Thanksgiving is coming. I know you want to be around people you care about. I want that, too.

But every decision, every single decision you make, impacts all of us. So please, this year, take a step back. Ask yourself if it's really worth it.

Our Department of Public Health has issued a holiday travel advisory.

Non-essential travel outside the Bay Area is not recommended.

If you are sick, do not travel. Period.

If you do travel outside the Bay Area, DPH strongly recommends you quarantine for 14 days upon return.

If you do travel, please wear a mask.

Avoid spending time indoors with people outside your household.

Don’t drive with people outside your household.

Limit interactions.

Avoid holiday meals generally. If you are going to see family, see them outdoors, distances, with masks.

But really ask yourself--is it worth it?

The infections that come at Thanksgiving will lead to people in the hospital at Christmas.

That’s the math.

That’s the timeline of this virus.

Nobody wants that, so please stay home this Thanksgiving.
