SAN FRANCISCO ANNOUNCES NEXT PHASE OF REOPENING TO BEGIN ON MONDAY
Indoor personal services and indoor gyms and fitness centers with limited capacity, hotels, and other lower risk indoor and outdoor activities will move forward on Monday, September 14

 Mayor London N. Breed, Dr. Grant Colfax, Director of Health, and Assessor-Recorder Carmen Chu, co-Chair of the City’s Economic Recovery Task Force, today announced San Francisco is moving forward with additional reopening on Monday, September 14. In addition to previously announced businesses and activities planned for mid-September, indoor personal services with limited capacity and indoor gyms with limited capacity will also be opening this coming Monday. 

San Francisco’s resumed reopening started on September 1 and will continue on Monday, September 14 with additional outdoor and indoor activities, including services that are opening earlier than the City previously announced. The businesses and services that will resume indoors with limited capacity include hair salons, barber shops, massage services, nail salons, gyms and fitness centers with limited capacity. Only those services where face coverings can be worn at all times by everyone involved will reopen at this time.

San Francisco’s reopening plan is available online at SF.gov/reopening. Reopening is dependent upon San Francisco’s Health indicators remaining stable or improving, and the plan is subject to change. All San Franciscans must do their part to limit the spread of COVID-19, including face masking, social distancing and hand washing. The reopening of most activities and businesses requires limited capacity and health and safety plans. San Francisco continues to evaluate ways to bring higher risk activities, including indoor movies, dining, bars, night life, and offices back safely.

Community Meeting Regarding Sideshows 
 

This past weekend our community experienced a dangerous sideshow event that resulted in the shooting and death of a young man from Sacramento. This dangerous activity has impacted our community for a long time and we are saying ENOUGH. There is no place in our District for these kind of dangerous events and I will not condone any “safe” alternative that endangers the lives of our community.

Next week we will hear from community and working in partnership with Chief Bill Scott and Captain Woon we will discuss next steps about how we can eliminate this illegal activity from occurring in our community.

The Ingleside Station Community Meeting will take place this upcoming Tuesday at 6:30pm. Please rsvp for this meeting and to get the link at community@sfsafe.org

I am also working hard to fast track my legislation that will penalize and provide real consequences for those engaging in sideshows.

Thank you for all those who have reached out and for partnering with me to keep our community safe. 

SAN FRANCISCO AIR QUALITY 

San Francisco and our region continues to experience poor air quality as a result of the wildfires burning throughout California. Yesterday, we reached Purple or Very Unhealthy levels of air quality and we expect to continue to have poor air quality today and through the weekend.

This means:

• Active youth, adults, and people with respiratory diseases should avoid all physical activity outdoors.
• Everyone else, especially children, should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion. 
• Consider moving activities indoors or rescheduling to a time when air quality is better.   

Staying indoors with windows and doors closed is the best way to protect your health. If this is not option for you, the City has weather relief centers open.

Designated Weather Relief Centers
San Francisco has established Weather Relief Centers in the following locations:

• Main, 100 Larkin St, 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (Friday & Sunday); 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Saturday)
• Chinatown 1135 Powell St, 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m (Friday, Saturday, Sunday)
• Mission Bay 960 4th St, 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m (Friday, Saturday, Sunday)
• SE Community Facility 1800 Oakdale Ave, 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m (Friday, Saturday, Sunday)

Please join us on Saturday, September 19th from 9am-11am for a community clean-up on the corner of Persia and Mission Street.

Let's work together to make District 11 beautiful!
