 Masks are still required in San Francisco for all showings -- open house, brokers tour, private showings.

 

 

Members:

 

The City and County of San Francisco is dropping the indoor mask mandate this Friday, October 15, but only for spaces/building where a discrete cohort of fully vaccinated individuals meet regularly, such as an office, religious gathering, or college classroom.

 

San Francisco law will still require masks for all property showings — open house, private showings, broker tour, inspections, etc.

 

To qualify for the "mandate removal", the space in question must only have fully vaccinated individuals, and those individuals must see each other on a regular basis, and the space should have relatively few visitors.

 

The indoor masking mandate is still explicitly in effect for all settings that would be accessed by the wider public, in particular retail stores and shared indoor areas with visitors (lobbies, restrooms, building elevators, etc.).

 

Under the San Francisco Department of Public Health's guidelines, open houses/real estate showings still qualify for the indoor masking mandate because it is an indoor space that receives many visitors or people from different workspaces/households. However, the indoor masking mandate would be lifted for most brokerage offices.

 

It should be noted that this rule change is specific to San Francisco, due to SF's high vaccination rate and low infection spread. Other counties are implementing separate/different indoor masking mandates.
