Mayor London Breed announces what can reopen in SF
San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced new reopenings after California's stay-at-home order was lifted statewide.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Monday morning that California was lifting its shelter-in-place order immediately and returning to the four-tier model for reopening. That means outdoor dining, nail salons, hair salons, barbershops and more can reopen immediately.



But just because something can reopen doesn't mean it will -- especially in the Bay Area, where some counties have moved slower than the state's reopening timeline in the past.
