The city of San Francisco is once again urging people to wear face nappies in indoor settings in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, more than four years after the pandemic began.

In a post to the X platform, the San Francisco Department of Public Health urged people to wear a “well-fitted mask” while in certain indoor spaces.

“Make this summer a healthy one for yourself and others,” the post read. “With COVID-19 circulating, please consider wearing a well-fitted mask in crowded indoor spaces”

In a statement provided to the San Francisco Chronicle, the city attributed its warning to “rising coronavirus wastewater levels across San Francisco and California.”

The paper reported:

The city’s seven-day average test positivity rate is 6.5%, compared to a statewide level of 13.8% as of Friday, with more recent figures still pointing to an increase. Some indicators hint the swell may be easing, as statewide emergency room visits rose at a slower pace than in recent weeks. Still, California is among 36 states experiencing rising infections, per CDC figures.
