"To be blunt, we have one chance to turn this serious surge around and that chance is right now. But our window is narrowing and closing fast," said Colfax. "We were concerned that also messaging towards saying that you shouldn't have any contact with any social support system, you know, anybody outside of the household, having those types of messages we thought for our community, will be actually detrimental," Chan said. The other five Bay Area counties that joined the early stay-at-home order have not adopted the same update.
Instead of defunding the police we should defund the government; they’re killing us more than the police. Limited one-on-one personal training within gyms and fitness centers that was allowed indoors must stop, but may take place outdoors. The state may have allowed San Francisco and other Bay Area counties to exit the regional stay-at-home order as early as Jan. 8 if intensive care capacity improved, but the city isn't waiting for the state's direction it seems. There are exceptions for projects to help keep people safe and housed. Those include health care projects directly related to addressing the pandemic, construction to house the homeless, affordable housing, and multi-unit or mixed-use developments containing at least 10% income-restricted units.

Employees of a business allowed to operate under the order can also access childcare programs that are allowed to operate. Extension designed to maintain progress on slowing the spread of the coronavirus. Updated health order will loosen restrictions on some lower-risk activities. Coronavirus cases in the Bay Area have leveled off this week, though some of that may be due to reporting lags, with some counties providing sporadic updates over the holidays.
Indoor dining is already closed and all outdoor dining, including parklets, must be closed. Restaurants can remain open for delivery and take-away. "We do expect some lower-risk activities to be allowed to resume soon, but for the safety of you and those around you we must build on the progress we've made," Breed said in a tweet Monday announcing the order's extension. Sports with no to low contact — golf, tennis, pickle ball, and bocce ball — can continue outdoors, but must be limited to participants of the same household. These may operate outdoors only without competitions or spectators and with strict social-distancing and face-covering requirements in place. Service-oriented retail such as dog groomers, electronics repair services and shoe repair services can operate in a curbside drop-off context only.

The year-end totals of coronavirus cases and deaths painted a devastating portrait of the United States’ poorly handled battle with the pandemic. Roughly 20 million cases were reported nationwide, representing nearly a quarter of the global sum and totaling more than any other country. More than 345,000 Americans died of COVID-19 in 2020.
San Francisco and the other Bay Area Counties are opting into the Regional Stay at Home Order that Governor Newsom announced Thursday, December 3rd for regions with less than 15% capacity in ICU beds. Newsom announced a new regional stay-at-home order on Thursday to keep local healthcare systems from collapsing under the weight of skyrocketing COVID-19 case numbers. Previous restrictions were based on the county’s infection rates.

In addition the 10-day travel quarantine for people traveling outside the Bay Area has been extended indefinitely. Removes the 12-person cap on outdoor fitness so long as social distancing can be met, and increases the fitness class cap to 25. Members of up to 3 households with a maximum of 12 people total may gather outdoors if social distance can be maintained and no food or drink is being consumed. If food or drink is being consumed, only members from two households of up to 6 people total is allowed.
In fact, a company needs to assign a specific person on the staff to oversee the number of people in the facility. The stay-at-homes cause financial, physical & mental duress; they ruin people’s lives. To use them because the hospitals are getting full is bullshit. The people should be allowed to govern themselves instead of the government forcing these health orders on them. I’m 68 years old, but I don’t expect anyone to wear a mask, social distance or close their business on my account.
Buchmann began her journalism career at the San Jose Mercury News, where her roles included news editor, wire editor, copy editor, page designer and education reporter. She earned her bachelor's degree in English literature from Georgetown University and her master's degree in journalism from Stanford University, where she also taught editing in the journalism M.A. Grocery stores in much of the Bay Area must reduce the number of shoppers they allow inside a store starting Monday.
The city emphasized that while it's now allowing two friends to meet outdoors, the underlining message is to avoid gatherings as much as possible. Drive in John McLaren Park will be closed to vehicles 24 hours per day throughout the duration of San Francisco's stay-at-home order, according to a statement from the mayor's office. She said that the city does not want to relax restrictions too early in the event there's a spike in cases and even stricter restrictions on city residents are required. Residents will be required to stay home “as much as possible,” encouraged only to leave their homes for exercise, groceries, medical visits, and other essential business.
In addition, San Francisco will allow hotels to resume operations for tourism use, but San Francisco will maintain its mandatory local travel quarantine. The order would mean that bars, personal care services, movie theaters, indoor gyms, playgrounds, and hair salons/barber shops will temporarily close. Restaurants will be limited to just take-out and delivery — meaning no outdoor dining — and retail and grocery stores will be limited to 20 percent capacity. “Non-essential” statewide travel will be restricted. Outdoor operations for museums and zoos may resume, though zoos are capped at 50% capacity not including personnel. Concessions are allowed under the guidance of retail or outdoor dining according to the type of concessions.
The order will be lifted when a region’s ICU capacity is projected to meet or exceed 15% within four weeks. Counties in that region then will return to one of the four tiers in the state’s color-coded reopening system, based on their individual case rates and other key indicators. As cases surge and regional ICU bed availability continues to fall, San Francisco extends requirement that those traveling into San Francisco from outside of the Bay Area quarantine for 10 days and extends the local Stay Safer at Home order. Standalone grocery stores may operate at 50% customer capacity, not including personnel, up from 35%.
