Alcatraz, the historic US island prison off San Francisco, opened up for a limited number of indoor tours, which had been off-limits for more than a year due to the pandemic.

Face masks and social distancing are still required at the island, which once housed inmates such as Al Capone and George “Machine Gun” Kelly.
