San Francisco's response to the COVID-19 crisis resulted in one of the lowest coronavirus-related death tolls among U.S. metropolitan cities, a study has found.
conducted by University of California, San Francisco researchers and the San Francisco Department of Public Health , the city implemented"one of the most intensive, inclusive and multi-pronged" COVID responses in the U.S., leading to one of the lowest fatality rates among U.S. cities across all ages and ethnicities.
The study also cited the accessibility of residents to tests and vaccines, financial support for populations severely affected by the pandemic, booster recommendations, and maintaining consistent updates about COVID-19 as reasons for San Francisco's curbed rate of transmission, reduced number of hospital patients, and lower mortality.
The SFDPH explained that this data was gathered by tracking the number of COVID-19 deaths along with excess all-cause mortality rates in the city.
