Unfortunately as we expected, San Francisco has been placed on the State's most restrictive "purple" tier due the surge in COVID-19 cases.
Here's what this means for us and what we all need to do to reduce this alarming trend:
Here's what this means for us and what we all need to do to reduce this alarming trend:
This is the most aggressive surge SF has seen to date. We're currently averaging 118 new cases per day compared to 73 per day in the first week of November.
For the week of November 16th, we had 768 diagnosed cases compared to 217 diagnosed cases the week of October 12th.

Beginning tomorrow, November 29th at noon, San Francisco will roll back or reduce capacity of certain activities to conform with the State's requirements. 
All schools, TK-12, that are already open for in-person learning may continue. TK-6 schools that haven't opened may apply for a waiver from the Health Officer to open for in-person instruction. Middle & high schools that haven't opened may also apply to provide outdoor learning.
Beginning Monday, Nov. 30th at 10pm, SF will comply with the State's required Limited Stay at Home Order that requires non-essential businesses to close and prohibits members of different households from gathering indoors or outdoors between 10:00pm & 5:00am until December 21st.
Outdoor dining, indoor retail, indoor personal services, outdoor fitness & limited indoor 1-on-1 personal training at gyms or fitness centers may continue.
Outdoor playgrounds, skate parks w/ limited capacity, batting cages, mini golf, outdoor zoos, & museums may remain open.

We all need to do our part, now more than ever, to stop the spread of COVID-19.
That means doubling down on the things we've all been doing: wearing a mask, keeping your distance from others, not gathering with people outside your household, and washing your hands frequently.

If you feel sick or you've been exposed to COVID-19, get tested.
The City has issued a travel advisory urging residents not to travel outside of the county and recommending a 14-day quarantine for anyone who traveled outside the state or engaged in higher risk activity.

As cases continue to climb throughout California and the rest of the country, this advisory is even more important to follow.
I don't know how to be more clear--this is the most dangerous time we've faced during this pandemic. Do not travel or gather with others.

We have to get this under control now and we can't afford to let things continue at this rate. Please, please do your part and encourage those around you to do the same.
