CNN anchor Jake Tapper's frustrated reaction to a video clip of the Embarcadero made some noise Tuesday evening, and San Francisco Mayor London Breed appeared on CNN's "The Situation Room" Wednesday to respond to Tapper's concerns.

The clip in question showed a number of individuals jogging and walking on the first day of the city's shelter-in-place order. Tapper called the clip "kind of enraging," stating, "We see a bunch of people who are not social distancing. they're holding hands and walking down the street ... The people of San Francisco — I shouldn't say the people, many people in San Francisco — have clearly not gotten the message."

Many pointed out that the usually well-populated stretch was not indicative of the Bay Area's quarantine efforts as a whole, and the people holding hands presumably live together, making true "social distancing" impossible in those cases.

Breed said as much to CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday afternoon after she was asked whether the shelter-in-place order prohibits people from going outside and exercising.

"People in San Francisco are definitely permitted to go out, to run, to exercise, to ride bikes, this is not about a vacation," she said. "If people are in the same household, they do not necessarily need to keep the same distance from members of their household; it would be impossible for them to do that. I think ultimately, it's not a fair assessment to say people are just out and about and not necessarily following the social distancing protocols we put into place, because they are. You see the buses are empty, you see the roads are empty, you see people are doing everything they can to comply."

Blitzer then asked Breed what activities are actually prohibited during the shelter-in-place order, and Breed cited "places we've already closed" such as hair salons, nail salons and retail stores.

"We want you to only go out if absolutely necessary for essential services," she said after maintaining that going out for a walk or a jog is acceptable. "The ultimate goal is to prevent people from contacting one another that could lead to the spread of the virus."
