San Francisco Becomes First Major US City to Mandate Vaccination for All Indoor Entertainment, Including Restaurants

The Epoch Times

San Francisco on Aug.12 became the first major U.S. city requiring full vaccination for patrons and employees to enter restaurants, gyms, bars, and entertainment venues.

The new order (pdf), announced by Mayor London Breed and Director of Health Dr. Grant Colfax on Thursday, takes effect Aug. 20 for customers and Oct. 13 for staff and prevents residents from submitting negative COVID-19 test results as a substitute to vaccination.

In a press release, Breed said the directive โ€œwill require businesses in certain high-contact indoor sectors, such as those that serve food or drink like bars, restaurants, clubs, theaters and entertainment venues, as well as indoor gyms and other fitness establishments, to obtain proof of vaccination from their patrons and employees in order for them to go inside those facilities.โ€

It also applies to select health care personnel, including pharmacists, dentists, workers at adult day centers, residential care facilities, and home health aides who are not included in the state health order on vaccinations.

The order does not include individuals ordering or picking up food or drink to go. Businesses have โ€œadditional timeโ€ for staff until Oct. 13, 2021, to make sure they are compliant with the order. San Franciscoโ€™s order also creates a new proof of vaccination requirement for large events at indoor venues, requiring attendees who are age 12 or older at events with 1,000 people or more to provide proof of vaccination.ย California previously only required attendees to get vaccinated for events with over 5,000 people, Breedโ€™s statement said.

Breed noted the order entirely excludes individuals under the age of 12, who are not yet eligible for all current COVID-19 vaccines.

โ€œThe Health Order is designed to protect against the continued spread of COVID-19, particularly among the unvaccinated, while keeping businesses open and helping to ensure schools remain open,โ€ the Mayor said.

Announcing the new order on Thursday, Breed explained that the new mandate is being done to โ€œprotect kids and those who canโ€™t get vaccinatedโ€ and to ensure the city doesnโ€™t โ€œgo backwardsโ€ and return to a full lockdown.

โ€œIf we want to continue down this path, if we want to continue to open, to make sure that people are healthy, make sure we are protected, to make sure that weโ€™re in a good place as a city from a public health perspective, so that ourย economy can really recover to its fullest extent, then we all have to do our part, we need to get vaccinated,โ€ the mayor added.
