The Golden State Warriors won't reopen their team facilities unless they receive clearance from San Francisco Mayor London Breed, a team spokesperson told Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle on Saturday.
"We'll do whatever London Breed says," they said.
It was reported earlier Saturday that the NBA will allow teams in states loosening their respective stay-at-home orders to host individual workouts at their training facilities beginning May 1. Team facilities have been ordered closed since March 20.
While San Francisco's current order is set to expire May 3, Breed said Friday it was "very likely" the Bay Area's shelter-in-place directive would be extended amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"What that means is another few weeks or even a month of asking you all to comply and to remain at home and to continue to follow the social distancing orders that we put forth," she said, courtesy of the San Francisco Chronicle's Dominic Fracassa.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has also not specified an end date for the state's stay-at-home order, which he issued March 19. However, he suggested Friday that it could be loosened at some point next week, according to The Sacramento Bee's Andrew Sheeler.
As of Friday, San Francisco has recorded 1,340 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 22 deaths, per Johns Hopkins University.
