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.
