COVID Concerns Following Major Celebrations in San Francisco

Image
Some people are concerned COVID-19 positivity rates will rise following celebrations such as the Warriors parade and San Francisco Pride Parade. Experts weigh in and provide recommendations as more outdoor events are set to happen over the summer. Sharon Katsuda reports.
