OAKLAND, Calif. - The latest developments around the region related to the novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, as of Saturday afternoon include: 

The San Francisco-Marin Food Bank on Friday opened its first drive-through pop-up pantry in San Francisco. The drive-through pantry, which distributes fresh produce, protein, and shelf-stable items for anyone in need, will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fridays through June 5 at the parking lot of the San Francisco Giants' Oracle Park on Third and Mission Rock streets. 

The 55th annual July 4 parade and related events in Piedmont have been canceled due to public health concerns related to the novel coronavirus, city officials announced this week.

The novel coronavirus has delayed reopening of the Real McCoy ferry on state Highway 84, which will remain closed for repairs until at least June, Caltrans said Friday. A return to service had been expected early this month.

Many of Marin County's parks and trailheads are expected to open next week, according to relaxed parking restrictions announced Friday by the county's public health officer. 

Starting Monday, the Contra Costa County Treasurer-Tax Collector's Office will allow public visits by appointment only.
