will sunset its COVID-19 public health emergency at the end of February in accordance with the end of the state's emergency declaration, city officials said Thursday.
Public Health Officer Dr. Susan Philip said she will implement two new health orders once the emergency declaration ends that will require staff members in health care and jail settings to continue wearing a mask. "While the ending of the public health emergency declaration and health orders does not mean the end of COVID-19, we are in a better place than we were three years ago, and the effective tools we now have such as at-home tests, vaccines, boosters and treatments will continue to save lives," Philip said in a statement. As of Wednesday, 86 percent of San Francisco residents have completed their initial COVID vaccination series.
