CITY-OF-SF--OFFICIAL

[yuiyoshida]

the coronavirus outbreak
You are required to wear something to cover your face when shopping, taking transit, or getting healthcare.

You must wear a face covering when you are:

Waiting in line to go inside a store
Shopping at a store
On public transportation (or waiting for it)
In a taxi or rideshare vehicle
Seeking healthcare
Going into facilities allowed to stay open, like government buildings
Working an essential job that interacts with the public
You will not be allowed to go into a business or public transportation if you are not wearing a face covering.

You do not need to wear a face covering if you’re driving yourself or with others in your family.

If you live with someone at higher risk from COVID-19, everyone at home should wear a face covering when around others, if possible.

Staying home is still the best protection
Covering your face does not change the shelter in place order, which requires people to stay home as much as possible and maintain physical distancing by staying 6 feet from others.

Cloth face coverings, when combined with physical distancing and hand washing, may prevent transmission of coronavirus by reducing respiratory droplets.

Why this is a requirement: face coverings protect others
As COVID-19 can be spread by people who are not showing symptoms, cloth face coverings, when combined with physical distancing and hand washing, may prevent the spread of the virus to others when going outside for essential activities. Cloth face coverings must cover your nose and mouth.

Covering your face is about helping others. By covering your face when you go out for essential reasons, you are being a good neighbor and community member.

3. All the progress we made over the last 2 months is now being erased
