SAN FRANCISCO: An increase in coronavirus cases will put San Francisco under a curfew starting Monday and trigger other virus-related restrictions, the city announced. The curfew requires the closure of non-essential businesses and prohibits members of different households from meeting between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. until December 21, Mayor London Breed said Saturday. San Mateo County outside of San Francisco will also be subject to the same rules after the state of California ranked both at its most restrictive level of locations based on the spread of the virus. In addition to the curfew, certain indoor businesses will be required to close or reduce capacity beginning Sunday noon, Breed said. On Friday, a temporary ban on gatherings of people from different households, with religious services and protests exempted, was announced for California’s largest city, Los Angeles. That order affecting the second-largest city in the United States will go into effect Monday and last for at least three weeks, until Dec. 20, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said.
