Proof of vaccination and photo ID is required to enter the following places:

- Entertainment venues including theaters, concert venues, museums, and recreation facilities
- Gyms, fitness centers and yoga studios
- Senior adult care facilities and City senior programs
- City Hall*
- Large indoor events at city and privately-owned facilities
People entering affected businesses for the following reasons will not be required to show proof of vaccination:
- Place or pick-up a to-go order
- Perform necessary repairs
- Using the restroom
If medical exemption to the COVID-19 vaccine is presented, the individual must provide proof of that exemption and a recent negative COVID test result.
The Oakland City Council approved the ordinance last month. San Francisco updated its mask mandate last week.
