Asian Americans have been targeted before during public health crises, as was the case during the 2003 SARS epidemic.
In San Francisco, there were five anti-Asian hate crimes through March 31, compared to six for all of last year, according to police data.
Other major cities have reported far fewer cases of anti-Asian hate crimes.
In April, an Asian American woman in Brooklyn, New York, suffered second-degree burns after a man poured acid on her.
In Vancouver, billed as the “most Asian city outside Asia,” there were 20 anti-Asian hate crimes through April 29, up from 12 for all of last year.
