1/ What’s changing now?

People fully vaccinated for COVID-19 no longer need to wear a mask in some indoor settings in San Francisco and Marin County where the same fully vaccinated group gathers.

More info here: sfchronicle.com/health/article…
Indoor settings where people in S.F. and Marin can now drop masks:

◼️Offices
◼️Gyms and fitness centers
◼️Employee commuter vehicles
◼️Religious gatherings
◼️Indoor college classes not exceeding 100 people

sfchronicle.com/health/article…
2/ What has been the response from major employers?

One hope for the lifting of the mask mandate for vaccinated offices is that more people will return to work. But several employers have already said mask mandates won't change, for now: sfchronicle.com/health/article…
3/ What rules are still in place?

In S.F. and Marin, all people must continue to wear masks in indoor settings where the population is changing — think restaurants and retailers.

See here for more on the rest of the counties: sfchronicle.com/health/article…
4/ What happens next?

The Bay Area has instituted guidelines for broadly removing mask mandates. Each jurisdiction must meet a certain set of criteria.

Go here for more info on the criteria, and which counties are closest to meeting them: sfchronicle.com/health/article…

Data released by the San Francisco Police Department raises questions about an announcement from Walgreens earlier in the week that organized, rampant retail theft forced it to close five stores. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/Is-…
One of the stores set to close, on Ocean Avenue, had only 7 reported shoplifting incidents this year and a total of 23 since 2018, the data showed. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/Is-…
While not all shoplifting incidents are reported to police, the five stores slated to close had fewer than two recorded shoplifting incidents a month on average since 2018. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/Is-…

Golden Gate National Recreation Area, home to the Presidio, Marin Headlands and Stinson Beach, is looking to introduce parking fees to ease the higher cost of operations.

trib.al/9zAC7k9
The proposal calls for a $3-an-hour or $10-a-day parking fee at eight sites in San Francisco and Marin County. The sites, where parking has long been free, include popular play spots including Baker Beach and Lands End.

A longtime San Francisco housing activist and his family are facing eviction despite a city law banning evictions through the end of the year.

“It’s a very strange thing to be fighting for your own home,” said Fernando Marti.

trib.al/HSMS3Bf
Marti's case is significant because it is one of a handful of eviction cases that a San Francisco Superior County judge is allowing to go forward, despite a city ordinance that extends the pandemic moratorium.

Eviction cases has been more of a trickle than a flood, “perhaps because a lot of landlords and attorneys acknowledge that the moratorium exists.”

After finding an adult rattlesnake and rattlesnake babies, he went to his car to retrieve more tools.

He returned to the underbelly of the residence with two buckets, a snake-grabber tool and slipped thick Hexarmor safety gloves over his hands. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…
After 3 hours and 45 minutes of crawling on his hands, knees and belly, moving small and large rocks and weaving back and forth underneath the home, Wolf retrieved 59 babies and 22 adults. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

Marin is the whitest county in the Bay Area, with 66% of its population identifying as non-Hispanic white.

But there’s one neighborhood in the county that’s less than 5% white, and over 90% Hispanic: the Canal Area in San Rafael. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…
The Canal Area in San Rafael is the most racially segregated in the Bay Area, according to a new analysis.

In fact, the Bay Area has been segregated since at least the early 20th century, thanks to racist government policies and private sector actors that took advantage of them, Destin Jenkins, a Stanford history professor, wrote in 2017.
