BREAKING: Anybody visiting San Francisco from outside the Bay Area or returning to the city after travel must quarantine for 10 days under new health order. Non-essential travel of any kind and of any distance is strongly discouraged per Mayor Breed and Dr. Colfax.
Dr. Colfax will hold a press conference with more info momentarily.
Colfax: #coronavirus cases in San Francisco have doubled since Thanksgiving. The Bay Area has 13.1% of ICU beds available. Throughout California, 3% are available.
Quarantine and travel rules start at midnight tonight, last until Jan. 4. Essential workers traveling for work are exempted.
“Please stay home this holiday season and celebrate with people in your immediate household.” — Colfax
More Americans have died of #COVID19 than died in World War 2, Colfax points out. More dying every day than died in 9/11.
Remaining ICU bed capacity in San Francisco is 31%, Colfax just said. That seems like a lot! 🤔 Hospitalizations lag diagnoses so he thinks beds will fill by next month.
Colfax acknowledges there will be no enforcement of the quarantine. “We hope people comply because it’s the right thing to do.”
90 people were vaccinated at SF General yesterday, 180 more vaccines to be given today.
