San Francisco indefinitely extended its coronavirus stay-at-home and travel quarantine orders Thursday and warned residents not to gather for New Year’s with people outside their immediate households. Health orders have established a 10 p.m. curfew, and police said warnings and, if warranted, citations would be issued. San Francisco police also have become aware of social media posts about private New Year’s Eve gatherings and will work with the San Francisco city attorney’s office and public health officials to try to stop them, said city police spokesman Robert Rueca. Officials said it would take at least two weeks before the city knew the impact of gatherings and travel from Christmas and New Year’s. AdvertisementEven when the state lifts its stay-at-home order, the city will examine its local health indicators before relaxing restrictions, officials said.
