'Indoor masking has helped to lower case counts…so we don't want to remove this important layer of COVID prevention too hastily,' said Dr. Sara Cody.
San Francisco will ease some COVID-19 restrictions as high vaccination rates and lower case numbers are reported, officials announced Thursday.
After lifting some restrictions in the spring, public health officials in San Francisco, Marin, Napa, Sonoma, Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara and San Mateo reinstated an indoor mask mandate in August as COVID-19 infections surged because of the highly contagious Delta variant. Patrons at bars and restaurants must still wear a mask inside, regardless of vaccination status, unless they are eating or drinking, Breed said. Last month, the mayor was seen on video maskless at a nightclub, in violation of the rules, and later told reporters that she didn't think it was reasonable to ask patrons to wear masks when eating or drinking.
