Orders Issued by the San Francisco Health Officer Relevant to Coronavirus (COVID-19)

On March 6, 2020 San Francisco Health Officer Tomas Aragon declared a health emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequently enacted Health Orders to protect the public health. Health Orders are enforceable laws and are usually accompanied by one or more Directives which provide legally binding instructions for how to comply with the Health Order. The Orders and Directives may also be accompanied by Guidance that provides suggestions and frameworks to facilitate compliance.

Health Orders related to COVID-19 are numbered C19-##. When a number is followed by a lowercase letter, the letter shows that the item has been amended. So C19-07g was the seventh iteration of Order No. C19-07. Health Directives in calendar year 2020 are numbered 2020-## in order of release

Note: One Health Order and several Directives refer to "Appendix A", which details the requirement that businesses establish Social Distancing Protocol.
