For a major city, San Francisco has fared relatively well during the coronavirus pandemic. It has had the lowest coronavirus case rate and death rate of any large urban county in the United States, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Its current daily case rate of 3.8 cases per 100,000 is low enough to place it in California’s second least-restrictive reopening tier.
