Assessor Chu's Statement Temporary Pause in Reopening (ERTF)

SAN FRANCISCO, CA --- Today, San Francsico announced that the City will temporarily delay allowing indoor dining and outdoor bars to reopen on July 13, due to a rise in COVID-19 transmission, cases and hospitalizations in San Francisco. See more details here.

Assessor Carmen Chu, co-chair of the Economic Recovery Task Force, issued the following statement:

“Even though a pause in reopening is disappointing, the resurgence we see in cases and hospitalizations reminds us of why it’s important not to lose sight that we are in the middle of an active global pandemic and why it’s critical that we approach reopening in a measured way driven by facts on the ground. We must continue to do everything we can to support our local economy and small businesses while protecting the health of workers and the public — as individuals, this means keeping safe distances and wearing face coverings.”
