“Unlike long weekends past this one is going to be a lot different. We have a large portion of the population vaccinated or naturally immune. The chances for transmission events are still there but they are much lower than they have been,” UCSF epidemiologist Dr. George Rutherford told KPIX.
The safest option is still to remain outdoors but doctors aren’t overly worried about indoor events since 78 percent of San Franciscans have received at least one vaccine dose.
