San Francisco’s COVID-19 emergency declaration is one of many slated to end Tuesday.
Many residents say that’s good news and signals progress in the fight to contain COVID. But for some of the city’s most vulnerable residents, it raises new concerns and they’re hoping the city will keep some protections in place.
Wearing N95 masks and holding signs that read “no body is disposable” and “keep masks in healthcare”, a small group of residents gathered at city hall demanding a simple answer from the mayor.
“We’re here to ask, ‘what’s the plan as the public emergency ends?’” said Kristin Urquiza.
She was with a group called “Marked by COVID”.
