In addition to allowing salons, barber shops, gyms, and massage/tattoo parlors to reopen with limited capacities on Monday, September 14, restrictions on (registered) short-term rentals and hotels in San Francisco will be lifted as well.
Indoor museums, zoos, and aquariums that have implemented a health and safety plan will be allowed to reopen, at limited capacities, on September 21, along with classrooms for TK-6th graders. In-person learning for middle school students could resume in October with high schools allowed to re-open in November.
The timeline for allowing restaurants, bars, clubs, performance spaces, movie theaters, and non-essential offices to re-open remains T.B.D., however, as does the date for lifting the restrictions on real estate showings and open houses.
The detailed timeline – including for religious, political and all other services and activities – as it currently stands: Reopening San Francisco.
