With Fourth of July coming up and COVID rates still running high, doctors recommend looking for outdoor events and wear a mask if in crowded areas.

"Everyone who went to the Warriors parade weren't from San Francisco. If so, with those numbers, it would've had to have been all San Franciscans," explained UCSF Dr. George Rutherford."It was spread out among counties. Today's numbers over seven days shows all counties have falling numbers of cases."

Dr. Rutherford said that could change after the three day incubation period sets in for Pride parade attendees. Local health experts say it may be difficult to figure out whether the Pride parade caused a spike in COVID cases just by looking at local numbers, because people who attended came from all over the world.

With Fourth of July coming up and COVID rates still running high, doctors recommend looking for outdoor events, wear a mask if in crowded areas and expect COVID numbers to go - at least a little - with all the festivities this summer.
