San Francisco restaurants can now allow customers inside up to 25% of the dining room's capacity
The current COVID-19 numbers in San Francisco are actually good enough to be in the orange tier instead of the red, but skipping tiers isn't allowed - Counties must be in each tier for at least three weeks before moving onto the next one.
Dr. Peter Chin-Hong of UCSF says our numbers are improving, but still not as good as they were last fall.
"Sure, we're definitely lower than where we were in the dark days of December and January, but we're definitely not where we were in October and that's why many people fear because we're landing on a higher set point. It's easier to reverse the progress we've made," says Dr. Chin-Hong.
