San Francisco extends stay-at-home order and necessary quarantine

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – San Francisco has expanded both its travel advice and stay at home ordering service.

The city said Thursday it doesn’t appear that the Bay Area will have 15% of the available intensive capacity by Jan. 7. At this point, your home stay order should likely expire as long as the COVID numbers improve.

Mayor of London Breed and Health Director Dr. Grant Colfax also expanded the travel advice that requires a 10-day quarantine for all people coming to San Francisco from outside the Bay Area, with a few exceptions for important travelers.

No expected date has been set for the cancellation of the orders.

“The renewal of both health mandates will continue until the Bay Area is no longer subject to the state’s regional residency ordinances. Once the state repeals its regional home stay ordinance, San Francisco will reassess key health indicators to see if they support easing current restrictions on businesses and activities and resuming the measured reopening process that adheres to the state framework oriented. “

Another reason a new expiration date has not been set is because the country has not yet recognized the consequences of people who ignored stay-at-home orders over the Christmas and New Year holidays.

“We have proactively ensured that order remains at home and quarantine on travel is in place to protect the Franciscans and in the hope that by acting quickly we can flatten the curve and reopen it more quickly,” said Breed. “It seems to be working, but we need more time to realize that we are going in the right direction and that the December holidays are not throwing us back. There are glimmers of hope and now is not the time to let up. ”
