Day 4: San Francisco's Coronavirus Shutdown In Pictures

Another sunny day in the Bay Area, but the streets were nearly deserted as the shelter-in-place order continued. The normally bustling Castro District had few pedestrians, as many businesses were shut down. And a half-built Ferris wheel being constructed in Golden Gate Park to celebrate its sesquicentennial serves as a reminder that good times are being put on hold. This collection of photographs chronicles the continuation of the crisis.
