On Tuesday, San Francisco mayor London Breed announced that the city is banning public events with 1,000 or more people due to the coronavirus outbreak. The temporary ban is for the next two weeks, at a minimum.
The San Francisco Giants are among the many people and organizations impacted by the ban, albeit only marginally - for now. The Giants have just one home game that falls into that two-week window.
That game - an exhibition contest against the Oakland A’s on March 24 - will not happen at Oracle Park, though both teams are still working on alternative locations to play the game.
