San Francisco Requires Face Cover in Public
Today San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced all residents are required to wear masks when “standing in line, in other locations where there are a lot of other people”. Masks are also required on public transit.
Order begins tonight at midnight, will be enforced starting on April 22nd.
Watch:
You do NOT need to wear a mask in your car or backyard or while taking a walk/run. The required face coverings can be a bandana, scarf, towel, or other piece of cloth or fabric.
“We advise, children under 12 are not required to wear, we do not recommend or require for children under 2.” – Dr. Grant N. Colfax, MD SFDPH

Joggers are the worst and all should be required to wear masks.
I go out for a walk every day and most joggers do NOT observe the 6 ft distancing even though they’re sweating with droplets. They come up from behind and think they don’t have to observe the distancing rules for some reason.
I agree with both comments about joggers. So many have no regards for others on narrow sidewalks. They expect us pedestrians to dodge them if we are concerned for our own health.
