Mayor London N. Breed today announced an Arts Relief Program to invest directly in working artists and arts and cultural organizations financially impacted by COVID-19. The investment is a combination of funding strategies designed to help the arts and culture community through grants and low-interest loans to organizations and working artists most impacted by this crisis. The Arts Relief Program will be funded by an initial $2.5 million from the City.

Mayor London Breed gave a directive reaching the leadership of San Francisco National Coalition of 100 Black Women between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m. Friday as they were setting up. The Mayor is limiting public gatherings to 100 people.

With news of the global effort to stop the spread of the Coronavirus, the San Francisco Chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. (NCBW), to ensure that proper health protocols from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will be followed, contacted the historic Fairmont Hotel and received assurances as they host the "Golden Girls 'Bridging the Generations' Hats and Gloves Tea."

City Attorney Dennis J. Herrera's report on the Department of Building Inspection in San Francisco has prompted Mayor Breed to take action due to ethical and possibly criminal concerns.

The City and County of San Francisco today announced presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 in two San Francisco residents. San Francisco officials also provided updates about the status of the Grand Princess cruise ship.
