San Francisco is well on its way to meeting the necessary public health requirements to comply with the State’s full reopening on June 15. Here are some details of what to expect as San Francisco moves beyond the blueprint
With the exception of “mega events” (more than 5,000 attendees indoors or 10,000 attendees outdoors), all business sectors may return to usual operations on June 15, outlined as such:
No capacity limitations; No physical distancing requirements; Vaccinated individuals will not be required to wear face masks in most settings.

These changes to public health policy have been set by the State of California. The City and County of San Francisco may adjust these rules as necessary to ensure public safety. Several San Francisco businesses have also released safety and cleanliness pledges to ensure that you are comfortable when you are able to visit. We hope you’ll do your part to keep yourself and our residents safe, too.
