San Francisco...has had the green light from state officials to serve food indoors since August 31, but when city officials announced its new roadmap to reopening, restaurants weren’t even on the list. According to the head of the city’s restaurant lobby, talks with San Francisco officials are ongoing, but she doesn’t expect any changes to the current plan for six weeks, maybe more.

 

Santa Clara also went into the red on Tuesday, but won’t allow indoor dining, saying via a statement that while some business sectors will reopen, for now, restaurants must stick with outdoor service.

DPH spokesperson says that “As long as San Francisco continues to make progress slowing the spread of COVID-19 we can get businesses and workers back on their feet,” Thomas says that restaurants are unlikely to welcome patrons inside any time soon. “Currently,” Thomas says, “I would not plan on indoor dining being allowed anytime before early to mid October at the earliest.”

If so many people from CA and especially NY weren’t insufferable assholes, then maybe you wouldn’t see so much gloating.
