That is why we took the step before any other cities to declare a state of emergency so that when this happened in our city we were prepared. We are prepared. But we also know that there are some very, very significant things that need to be done, some significant steps. Even more so than what was announced by the governor to ensure Public Safety.

We know that this will have an even larger impact on what we have already put into place, and we will continue in this city to do everything that we can at the local level to support those who will continue to be impacted. I also want to express that this directive is coming from our county health experts. This is not just happening in San Francisco county. It is happening as we speak in Alameda County and in Santa Clara County and marin county.

At this time to provide more details around what this means and how we will be impacted county wide in San Francisco as well as the entire region throughout the bay area, i want to introduce doctor grant colfax. Thank you, mayor. Good afternoon. I am doctor grant colfax, director of health for the city and county. As the coronavirus continues to change rapidly in the city and region, i want to make sure all those in San Francisco understand we are entering a new phasein our response. Our response has always been grounded in data, science and facts. That continues to be the case today. As we look at the patterns in our country, state and region, we are seeing rapidly escalating cases and serious illnesses due to coronavirus. This requires an escalating response. The evidence tells us that now is the time to implement this step. Today we are ordering that everyone in San Francisco who can remain at home until april 7th. This is a critical intervention that we know can reduce harm and save lives. The coronavirus is spreading in our community, and we need to slow it down. Over the weekend, the Health Officers from six counties conferred and agreed this step is needed immediately. Based on what we can predict, now is the time to do everything we can to prevent the situation from getting much worse in a matter of days or weeks. Every hour counts. With everyone cooperating with these orders, both locally and regionally, we will be able to adjust to the new rules over the next few weeks. We know that there will be a lot of questions and concerns at the beginning of this. We are committed to providing the most clear uptodate information you and everyone needs. We will have frequently asked questions on the sfgovtv and department of Public Health web site, bus shelters and radio ads and update the public through the media. And, please, do not rush to urgent care or Emergency Rooms for covid19 testing or nonemergency needs. Do not overwhelm the Health System or the Emergency Response systems at this time. We need these services to care for those who are seriously ill. If you are sick or concerned you may have coronavirus, please contact your healthcare provider. In fact, i urge us not to rush anywhere. With this order in place, you will still be able to get food, care for relatives, runness errands and conduct the essential parts of your lives. You will still be able to walk your dog or go on a hike alone or with someone you live with or even with another person as long as you keep six feet between you. Grocery stores, gas stations, banks, laweddr laundromats and l services will continue to remain open. Restaurants will continue to do takeout or delivery. Please be patient and kind to one another. Stay informed with the facts and dont propagate rumors or miss truths. Together we will get through this and our families and Communities Health will be better protected. During these next weeks, the Health Department, department of Emergency Management and all city agencies will continue to respond to the coronavirus outbreak. This work is essential and must go on. For the Health Department and partner we will focus attention on the top three priorities to fight the spread of the virus. To decrease harm and save lives. The First Priority is to reduce community spread. The virus is here in San Francisco. We must practice social distancing to slow it down. This order escalates that response. Another priority is doing everything we all can to protect vulnerable populations. That means people who are 60 or older or who have certain Underlying Health conditions. These are the people most at risk forgetting seriously ill and dying if they get coronavirus. The condition covid19 caused by the coronavirus. Third, we must protect Healthcare Workers. Across the city, Health Care Workers and First Responders are on the front lines keeping our Community Healthy and safe. We must provide them with the support, protection and supplies they need to respond to coronavirus. This is the work of Public Health. Nothing is more important for our community today. We greatly appreciate the way the city is coming together during this emergency. Under the leader hip of mayor breed, city agencies, businesses schools, Healthcare System and individuals are stepping up to do their part. All those in San Francisco please do your part. Abide by the new health order. If you do have to go out, practice social distancing. Stay six feet apart from others and wash your hands frequently. Check in on your neighbors. Do not leave children who are out of school with elderly relatives if at all possible. Do not go to Emergency Rooms unless you have a true emergency. Take care of yourself and loved ones and make a plan to manage the changes upon us. I know this is a lot to take in. I and the department are committed to providing all those in San Francisco with as much information and guidance as we can to help you do your part. Todays decision was reached collectively and the entire region is acting as one. We will be developing more detailed information as soon as it is available. Again, please stay uptodate by visiting the departments website or sfgov. Today if you havent already sign up for the text alert service. Text covid19 sf to 888777. That is covid1 covid19 sf to. I know todays order is a radical step. It has to be. We need to act now, all of us, to protect the Public Health. Thank you. Mayor breed thank you, doctor colfax. Before we open it up to the questions i will introduce the president of the board of supervisors, norman yee. Supervisor yee thank you, mayor breed. I thank you for your leadership and the leadership of all six counties coming together to fight this as a joint effort. It cant be isolated. I acknowledge my colleagues. Supervisor walton, mandelman, stefani, supervisor peskin, mar, ronen and preston. We are here standing together with the mayor, and i want to thank all of them working in unity with the Mayors Office to respond to this. I want to thank the mayor to be aggressive about this effort. This is not a game at all. I want our seniors, in particular, those most vulnerable to take this seriously. We can give orders if you dont follow it, it is use less. We all must do our part. That is what we need to do. Now, the mayor has rolled out many initiatives to the press, public. These are some of the things we are doing as a city to help the Small Businesses, to help people that are residents in San Francisco. Those are great ideas, great ideas generated by all of us standing behind me, and i want to say two other things. Those ideas are not the only ideas. We will continue to find policies to help our population in San Francisco while we are all sitting and being impacted by this one way or another, economic or emotional. On tuesday, we are going to continue that discussion to see what else we can do. What other ideas we can come up with, and i am happy that we will take that initiative to Work Together. The other thing i want to say is that during this emergency it is so important that the board of supervisors membership, my colleagues are well informed. As you know many of the residents come to our offices for information. We need to communicate back both ways to the department of Emergency Management or eoc to make sure this strong communication that goes on between us. We are going to work on that, also. I want to thank, once again, mayor breed, for your leadership in this. Thank you. Mayor breed thank you, president yee and to all members of the board of supervisors for joining us here today. As i said, from the very begin, the priority in making these decisions is Public Health. I know this has been very difficult for so many people. We will continue to do everything we can with a number of initiatives to mitigate the impact on our vulnerable community, not just the vulnerable communities of people we know are at risk of contracting the coronavirus but the people we know might be suffering financially. We have a lot of work to do and we will continue to do that every day to provide initiatives we know we can deliver for the people of San Francisco. I thank you all for being here, thank you for your patience and cooperation. This order will go into effect at midnight tonight. Do not panic. The Grocery Stores and gas stations will remain open. The bankings will remain open. The pharmacies will be open. There is no need to rush out to do things at these particular locations because they will be available to you. At this time we will open it up to questions. Again, our goal is to try to mitigate the impacts as we have said time and time again, provide essential services to the public to the fullest extent possible, provide mitigation around the Economic Impacts on what we know impact peoples lives on a regular basis, especially those who sadly have already been laid off because of the lack of business for various restaurants and other places. We know there is more to do. I will say that i am really proud of the leadership here in San Francisco because we are ahead of the curve in comparison to so many other cities throughout the state, throughout this country. They are not even close to doing many of the things we have already put in place from San Francisco. There will be more to come. I thank you for your cooperation and thank you to the Public Health officials and others who have stepped up and provided the most meaningful support during a very difficult time. I am happy to open it up for questions. I am going to let the chief scott answer some questions around enforcement. Thank you, mayor breed. I want to thank mayor breed for her leadership. Enforcement. We will take a compassionate common sense approach. Number one, education. The mayor is clear to the Leadership Team we need the information out to the public what this is all about. Dont panic. We have frequently asked questions published to the public. We are looking for voluntary compliance. We are asking the public to voluntarily comply. This order by law is enforceable as a misdemeanor or fail year to comply with it. That is a last resort. I want to be clear. This is not about criminal justice approa
