Surge in coronavirus cases forces San Francisco to impose curfew

What they're saying: "As cases continue to climb throughout California and the rest of the country, this advisory is even more important to follow," Breed tweeted.

• "I don't know how to be more clear — this is the most dangerous time we've faced during this pandemic. Do not travel or gather with others," she added.
• "We all need to do our part, now more than ever, to stop the spread of COVID-19. That means doubling down on the things we've all been doing: wearing a mask, keeping your distance from others, not gathering with people outside your household, and washing your hands frequently."

The big picture: Starting 12 p.m. PST Sunday, gyms, museums movie theaters and places of worship in the city must also suspend indoor activities, while retail stores must reduce capacity to 25%.

• Schools that are already open for in-person learning may continue and those that haven't opened have to receive a waiver for in-person instruction.
• The city will impose a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew until Dec. 21.
