Earlier today, the San Francisco Interfaith Council (SFIC), supported by the COVID Command Center's Joint Information Center (JIC) Virtual Outreach Team, hosted the 18th in a weekly series of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) response briefings for faith leaders. Today's briefing featured City & County of San Francisco IT Project Manager and Former Medical Examiner Liaison to the SF Department of Public Health's COVID-19 Medical Branch Rand Miyashiro, PMP, who explained the new Health Order C19-14, which compels funeral establishments to seek evidence of COVID-19 testing of deceased persons in San Francisco before taking them into their care.
