Who knows what's allowed these days, I'm always double checking everything now before going out for any reason. California seems to have some of the tightest restrictions.
Pandemic restrictions are not a constraint for you here in that you are free to leave SFO and return if you like. As you may know, the USA forces all international passengers in transit to go through immigration; once you do that you can head to Burlingame if you like.

Still, you should think about your time constraints, and whether what you will want to do in Burlingame is open.
