There are health officials (I don't know what to call them) going around Mission Dolores Park handing out masks to groups sitting together that don't cohabitate. Banned implies they would have park rangers instead going around issuing tickets like they do for having glass, etc.

While I agree that lackadaisical response is making this drag on, I don't think San Francisco contributes much to that.

The public health order says "recreating only with people in the same household" [0]. I have seen similar signage for outdoor dining

Prioritizing harm reduction interventions (e.g. handing out masks) over punitive enforcement (e.g. tickets) is more of a general San Francisco policy. Still illegal.
