Starting this Friday, March 11, San Francisco will no longer require people to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to enter certain businesses.
With vaccinations high and case rates low, San Francisco’s Safer Return Together Order removes all capacity limits and physical distancing requirements and nearly all operational requirements on businesses.
Thanks to SF's successful vaccine rollout and low case rates, we intend to align with the State Beyond the Blueprint guidance that removes nearly all local COVID-19 related restrictions beginning June 15, with some exceptions for mega events.
San Francisco will allow a greater range of activities and remove some operational requirements on open activities as it continues to prepare for full reopening.
Beginning Thursday, May 6, San Francisco will reopen indoor bars, indoor family entertainment activities, outdoor organized community sporting events and indoor saunas and steam rooms, and will loosen guidelines for a range of activities.
Starting April 15, San Francisco will resume indoor live-audience events, performances, meetings, and receptions with capacity limits and following other protocols, and will expand existing guidelines for outdoor live-audience events, performances, and other activities.
Next Thursday San Francisco will issue formal guidelines to allow live performances, meetings, and other events with capacity limits in indoor settings to begin starting April 15.
