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

September 10, 2020

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.

SF’s Updated Reopening Plan | New Timeline | See updated guidance for Sept. 10

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.

Other Stories You Might Like

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.

Just keep in mind, timelines can change. For example, back in June, indoor dining was originally scheduled to reopen on July 15th and bars in mid-August, but then the timeline changed drastically

As previously announced, hotels, outdoor family entertainment centers, drive-in entertainment like outdoor movies, and outdoor tour buses and boats will also reopen on the 14th under rules for outdoor gatherings.

Indoor museums and galleries may submit health and safety plans the week of September 14th and will be able to open as early as September 21st following submission of their plan to the Department of Public Health. Additional services, businesses, and activities will resume over the coming weeks and months as long as San Francisco continues to make progress on limiting the spread of COVID-19.
