Since the spread of the epidemic, San Francisco, which issued a city closure ban, is the largest city in the United States to impose a curfew. The law is also the most severe epidemic prevention and control measures implemented in the United States. According to relevant news reports, in addition to the San Francisco Bay Area, five counties in the Bay Area of Northern California in the United States will also implement the law one after another, affecting more than 6.7 million residents.
Similar to the epidemic prevention and control measures in many parts of Asia, the ban in the United States stipulates that except supermarkets, grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, gas stations and other public service places, gymnasiums, bars and other entertainment places are all closed, and catering places only accept take-away services and do not provide in-store food.
The validity of this law will temporarily last until April 7, and the specific date will be changed according to the actual development in the later period and the suggestions of public health officials.
At the same time, the San Francisco government also announced that after the ban was promulgated, residents did not have to panic and hoard a large number of goods and go to supermarkets to grab food and daily necessities. The government will continue to approve the opening of stores according to the actual development of the epidemic to meet the basic needs of the general public.
In addition to going out when necessary, citizens are advised to stay at home and be safely isolated, so as to minimize going out, especially for high-risk groups and susceptible groups.
In addition, in order to effectively prevent and control the spread of COVID-19 virus, the San Francisco government and police will take strict measures from 16 to check the public order in crowded bars and clubs in the city. I hope that the epidemic situation can be controlled as soon as possible after San Francisco takes measures to close the city. According to relevant statistics, by San Francisco time 10, there were 40 confirmed cases in COVID-19, and no death cases have occurred yet. In terms of epidemic prevention and control, San Francisco responded faster than other regions, and as early as March 7, it promulgated a decree prohibiting public meetings.
