San Francisco's mayor has announced an unprecedented three week lockdown that will begin on Tuesday at midnight and which bans anyone from leaving their home for anything other than doctor's visits or trips to the supermarket.

In addition to the lockdown in city parameters, six counties in the Bay Area are being told to 'shelter in place'.

The lockdown is the strictest action to be taken in America. Anyone who breaks it faces legal repercussions.

It will last until April 7. Mayor London Breed called it a 'defining moment' on Monday morning.

'This is going to be a defining moment for our city.

Having lived in the City a long time ago, I have to ask if going out to the local neighborhood liquor store is banned? If so the grocery stores are going to see a run on alcohol sales......especially in
Oakland.
