San Francisco’s small businesses are now deciding whether to heed the new recommendation or continue requiring masks for customers as well as employees. And it’s not an easy call.
Mask mandates for those vaccinated against COVID-19 were lifted in most public places on Wednesday. But people may opt to wear masks to continue to protect themselves against the coronavirus and other illnesses.
As social norms continue to adapt after two years of strict lockdowns and safety policies, some San Franciscans may want to wear masks in perpetuity to protect against other common viruses like the flu or cold. Masks are also a good idea for anyone who is high risk or concerned about catching COVID, Philip said. Staying up to date on vaccinations, in addition to layering protections such as wearing a mask and staying outdoors when possible, are still helpful while cases are high.
“We have definitely had people push back. We got training in how to deal with those people, but it’s a big ask for an entire staff to police something that’s gotten so political,” said Marschke, who owns Underdogs Too and Underdogs Tres in San Francisco. “We are just trying to make people happy with margaritas and tacos.”
Regardless of what guests do, Marschke will be keeping his mask on while indoors for now. His health prevented him from attending the reopening of one of his restaurants in December 2021, a year after closing due to a fire. “I’m just starting to show up now, but I’m only there without customers,” said Marschke, adding that he will be getting a fourth COVID-19 shot soon.
“There will be different options and people should be prepared and have a mask with them. Businesses will determine how they want to rewire that,” said Philip. “We know the public will feel nervous — this is a shift.”
