Finally an update from the Zoo. Posted yesterday.

The Zoo's post refers to the State health guideline that I also posted. Refer to the following photo from my post for how to find pertaining info on that site. Its a long but informative read.
With Sacramento and San Diego announcing reopening dates, I was prematurely excited. This update sounds like it might still be at least a couple weeks, although maybe the City will surprise us and give the ok sooner.
I wrote in previous posts that with all the general disregard for Social Distancing, especially during the recent and continuing protests, its unjustified that reopening California Zoos was being delayed. We now know, the Phase 3 date of mid-August was recently curiously moved up two months, with Governor Newsom giving Zoos the go-ahead starting today June 12.
Hopefully, the San Francisco Health Department will allow the Zoo to open soon. Aside from the Transmission concern I noted in the previous post (linked at bottom), there seemingly should not be any other reason for the delay, as I would assume their safety protocol is in line with what other Zoos and like facilities are doing. They will surely be doing more than the Botanical Garden, which does not monitor Face Covering or Social Distancing. They even have their drinking fountains open!
For several weeks during May the Zoo had been allowed to let in select Members, which I previously wrote that I had read on Twitter was part of a Lottery? and now Zoo Camp has started. There is and has already been, non-staff about the place. Re-opening to a small scale of Members, will seemingly not endanger the Animals or Others in any different capacity. The Zoo is a controlled environment, unlike what's happening at the Botanical Garden, Stores, and other areas where the general non-maskers and non-distancers are flailing all over the City. The San Francisco Zoo should be allowed to Re-Open immediately.
