Summary of today’s press conference:
Mayor London N. Breed and the Director of Health Dr. Grant Colfax today announced that San Francisco plans to allow some businesses to resume operating, with modifications. As long San Francisco continues making progress on reducing the spread of COVID-19, the City anticipates allowing some businesses to resume operations with storefront pickup as soon as Monday, May 18th.
As long as San Francisco continues making progress on reducing the spread of COVID-19, consistent with the amended State Order, the first round of businesses that will be allowed to operate with storefront pickup as soon as May 18th include: Bookstores, Florists, Music and record stores, Hobby, toy, and game stores, Home furnishings and home goods, Cosmetics and beauty supply, Arts supplies stores, Musical instrument and supplies stores, Sewing, needlework, and piece goods stores.
The list was determined in collaboration with business leaders, and based on state and local public health guidance and could be expanded over the coming weeks. This after California Governor Gavin Newsom announced modified statewide guidelines that allow certain retailers to begin curbside pickup as soon as Friday.
San Francisco will issue details on this phased business reopening next week.
The Department of Public Health (DPH) will be developing guidelines for businesses that are consistent with the statewide guidelines. The San Francisco Health Officer will continually review whether modifications to the Order are justified and will adjust the Order as needed. Click to read full press release.
