BREAKING: Bay Area counties to adhere to Gov. Gavin Newsom's phased statewide shutdown starting at 10 pm Sunday. Dr. Grant Colfax says we have one week to slow the #coronavirus in San Francisco before hospitals reach capacity.
San Francisco will run out of ICU beds on December 26 at the current rate of hospitalization. Santa Clara will run out of beds by next week. "We will not have enough nurses and doctors to adequately care for people," Colfax says.
San Francisco will receive 12,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine in the next couple of weeks. Will go to healthcare workers and those at nursing homes.
Personal services, outdoor dining, gyms, playgrounds to close by 10 pm Sunday. Grocery stores and other retail must reduce capacity to 20%. Outdoor gatherings ok for 12 people with masks and distancing.
Schools and community hubs that are open can remain open. Mayor will continue to push for the opening of public elementary schools.
The order is expected to be in place until January 4.
Here's more on the new shutdown orders. They apply to San Francisco, Santa Clara, Alameda, Marin and Contra Costa counties. Napa and Sonoma Counties are not participating. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…
