City Notices Roundup: Pokémon Day Proclamation, Night Markets, and Health Advisories

Official City Proclamations and Civic Events

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has officially designated Friday, February 27, 2026, as Pokémon Day in the City and County of San Francisco. This resolution celebrates the 30th anniversary of the global franchise and encourages residents to engage in community-based activities. Additionally, the Office of Small Business reminds all business owners that the unified Annual Business Registration and Tax Form renewal is due by February 28, following the implementation of Proposition M.

Public Health Advisories

The San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) continues to monitor a tuberculosis (TB) outbreak associated with Archbishop Riordan High School. As of late February, officials have confirmed three active cases and over 200 latent cases within the school community. Health Officer Dr. Susan Philip emphasizes that the risk to the general public remains low, as latent TB is not contagious. However, the SFDPH maintains active consultation with school administrators regarding ongoing testing and treatment protocols.

As February is Heart Health Month, the San Francisco Health Service System (SFHSS) reminds residents to prioritize preventive care. Officials encourage small lifestyle adjustments, such as increased physical activity and stress management techniques, to combat heart disease, which remains a leading cause of mortality in the region.
