KRON 4 News SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) San Francisco has extended both its travel advisory and stay-at-home order. The city on Thursday said it does not appear the Bay Area will get above 15% available ICU capacity by January 7, which is when the stay-at-home order was expected to expire as long as COVID numbers improved.... Mayor London Breed and Director of Health Dr. Grant Colfax also extended the travel advisory, which requires a 10-day quarantine for anyone arriving in San Francisco from anywhere outside the Bay Area region, with some exemptions for essential travelers. An estimated date was not set for when the orders will be lifted. FULL DETAILS (KRON4.COM): https://www.kron4.com//san-francisco-extends-stay-at-home/

City Help for Businesses that invest in Shared Spaces Locally owned businesses that either hold or have applied for a Shared Spaces permit are eligible to receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement from the City, which will help businesses that have been forced to close outdoor operations as a result of the recent Stay at Home Order and prepare for an eventual reopening. Up to $1 million in funding comes from the Shared Spaces Equity Grants Program, which prioritizes minority-owne...d businesses and businesses that advance the City’s equity goals. Interested businesses can apply at: sf.gov/get-help-paying-your-shared-space-improvements. While many Shared Spaces locations have been required to close as a result of the surge in COVID-19 cases locally and across the State, the Shared Spaces Equity Grants Program offers financial support to reimburse business owners for costs associated with building and operating Shared Spaces location. This support will also help business owners in the process of opening a Shared Spaces location in anticipation of future re-openings once this current COVID-19 surge is better controlled. Priority for the Shared Spaces Equity Grants is given to locally-owned, minority-owned businesses that advance the City’s equity goals, including women-owned businesses, immigrant-owned businesses, legacy businesses, and businesses in established cultural districts or that serve a largely minority clientele. Applications are now open and there is no deadline to apply. Grants will be issued on a rolling basis with applicants notified every two weeks about the status of their applications. AND In March 2020, Mayor Breed extended the deadline for businesses to pay their 2020 Unified License Fee from April 30, 2020 to March 1, 2021. Given the pandemic’s continued impact on businesses, today Mayor Breed announced the deferral of the Unified License Fee for 2020 will further extend until October 31, 2021. To provide additional relief and time, the Unified License Fee for 2021 will also be deferred from March 1, 2021 to October 31, 2021.

Today Mayor Breed announced a delay in the re-opening of businesses scheduled to re-open next Monday, June 29, 2020. San Francisco is pausing reopening of businesses and activities previously planned for this coming Monday, June 29, due to increased caseload of Covid (https://sfmayor.org//san-francisco-announces-next-phase-re). Business Types:... Hair salons and barbershops Nail salons Tattoo and body piercing studios Estheticians Outdoor bars Massage establishments Culture and Recreation: Indoor museums Zoos and aquariums Outdoor swimming pools View the reopening timeline here: https://sf.gov/step-by-step/reopening-san-francisco There is no change to businesses and activities currently allowed under prior reopening phases. This pause is critical to protect the public health and keep us all safe, including essential workers who risk their lives daily to provide services and care to the public. San Francisco has demonstrated the great ability to flatten the curve of infections from COVID-19. We have taken each measured step from declaring an emergency, to Shelter in Place, to Phased Reopening, based on science, data, and evidence (https://data.sfgov.org/stories/s/fjki-2fab). City public health leaders are closely reviewing the data throughout this weekend, and we hope to be able to move forward again with the next phase of reopening very soon. Much of this is dependent on our own personal actions as businesses and residents. If you can continue to shelter-in place, do so. When you go out, wear a mask, remain socially distanced by six feet, and wash your hands often (https://sf.gov/going-out-coronavirus-pandemic). We have led the nation and the world by taking science and data seriously, and that's what we must continue to do to save lives and rebuild our economy. Please keep safe, and we'll be in touch with more news as soon as we have it. FULL DETAILS: https://00be4de6-d6c2-4cee-80e0-ff8ec900d048.filesusr.com/ https://sfmayor.org/news

NEW SF RESTRICTIONS BEGIN THIS SUNDAY AT 10.00 p.m. Due to the aggressive increase in COVID-19 cases and continuing rise in hospitalizations across the city and region, Bay Area counties will voluntarily implement the State’s Regional Stay at Home order to significantly reduce gatherings and additional activities in an effort to stabilize COVID-19 cases. San Francisco, CA Mayor London N. Breed and Director of Health Dr. Grant Colfax today announced San Francisco will join ...counties across the Bay Area to impose significant restrictions across the region in an effort to mitigate the current surge in COVID-19 cases. The City’s case rate and hospitalizations continue to increase unabated since late October and are now prompting San Francisco to take further action. 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. Although San Francisco and the Bay Area have not yet met that threshold, the City in partnership with Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Santa Clara and City of Berkeley, is preemptively implementing these restrictions in an effort to flatten the curve of COVID-19 cases, which continue to surge, and prevent hospitals from being overrun across the region. As of 10 p.m. on Sunday, December 6, San Francisco will close all personal services, outdoor dining, public outdoor playgrounds, outdoor museums, zoos and aquariums, drive-in theaters, and open-air tour busses and boats. Additionally, San Francisco will halt indoor limited personal training in gyms and limit outdoor gyms and outdoor fitness classes to a maximum group size of 12 people at a time, including instructors and participants. Low contact retail such as pet grooming, electronics or shoe repair services, may only operate in a curbside drop-off context. All other retail, including grocery stores must reduce capacity to 20%, and all indoor businesses that are open to the public, such as retail stores, must create a metering system to manage and enforce indoor customer capacity. This metering system must be in place no later 10 p.m. on Sunday December 6, when other amended order becomes operative. READ FULL DETAILS: https://sfmayor.org//san-francisco-join-bay-area-counties-
