Live news desk update. Its a question that is weighing on many peoples minds right now, when will businesses be allowed to reopen. At the live desk, looking at where some states stand on the issue right now. You saw governor newsoms press conference yesterday at noon and heard all those details. Governor newsom said its too early to set a timeline on opening nonessential businesses. Due to the current situation, we are not prepared for that, yet. But hospitals will be allowed to resume scheduled surgeries. Other states are moving faster to reopen. Georgia plans to allow nail salons, bowling alleys and other businesses to start opening tomorrow. The order goes against white house recommendations. I told the governor of georgia, brian kemp, that i disagree strongly with his decision to open certain facilities which are in violation of the phase one guideline. E, calina, and alaska are slowly reopening their economies. Some businesses in oklahoma will also be allowed to reopen tomorrow. Colorado will no longer require people to stay at home starting next week. Some states, including nebraska, wyoming and south dakota never had stayathome orders to begin with. Reggie and kumasi. Jobina, thank you. The mayor of las vegas is calling for businesses to reopen as soon as possible, but she hasnt provided any social distancing guidelines on how this is going to be safe to do so. And thats really sparked a strong reaction online. Heres what she told Cnns Anderson Cooper. The people who are working on the floor that are the ones that are going to become infected and potentially die. Youre talking disease. Im talking life. Im talking life and living. These are people that makes no sense. Chinese researchers have shown how this virus spreads. I just want to put up for viewers youre good. This isnt china, this is las vegas, nevada. Wow, thats really ignorant. Okay. Nevadas governor says that he is eager for businesses to reopen, but only when the time is right. Now, here at home, napa county has decided to lift some restrictions, as long as you follow proper social distancing, construction, drivein religious services, real estate showings and landscaping. The county is strongly recommending that everyone wear face coverings. Some of you are putting the pedal to the metal and it shows. And the police are frankly sick of it. When you hear just how many tickets theyre writing right now, you may be shocked. Amy hollyfield is live at the bay bridge toll plaza. Reggie, i have seen some cars coming through here at a questionable speed. Officers want you to know that these less crowded freeways are not an invitation to you to become a race car driver. They want everyone to slow down and working to get that message out and released some pictures to us of some cars and what happened to them from speeding. Some even landing into homes because of speeding. Well, listen to this. The chp says writing tickets for people going more than 100 Miles Per Hour has gone up 87 . And the Traffic Volume is way down. The chp says think of it this way, Health Care Workers are some of the few people on the roads right now, lets keep them and all essential workers safe and slow down. Officials plan to put the messages up on their electronic signs on the highway to start letting everyone know how important this is and what a problem it is. So, be prepared for that safety warning to hit you if youre out and about. And just keep in mind, they really want you to slow down and not treat this like a race track.

Lets take a look at what is going on outside right now. Dont do it right now. 54 on the exploratorium and you can already see fewer clouds than what we began with at 4 30 this morning. Already a little bit of a clearing trend that will bring us the sunny sky today and above average temperatures and not quite as much as yesterday around the bay, but definitely at the coast. Cooler, fewer clouds and fog tonight and well see that reverse as we head through the weekend and that will bring us that temporary cooling. Heres a look at the fog forecast and you can see easily by noon the clouds back at the coast and afternoon hours, dry air mixes in and youll see more sunshine. Those breezes will keep your temperatures in check. 60 at Half Moon Bay and offshore breeze. Look at that 75 at santa cruz today. Come back to the bay and San Francisco, 68 this afternoon. Very nice. 72 to 76 around the bay. Near 80 in the south bay and some low to mid 80s in the east bay valleys and upper 70s and low 80s in thean see the lack o clouds out there and thats why a lot more low to mid 50s. But with that extra sunshine, temperatures jump about 4 degrees across the board tomorrow. The increase in clouds and the sea breeze drops us back down to average on sunday. 5 to 15 degrees cooler than today and then make that run around 80 at the bay and 90 inland for tuesday and possibly wednesday. Lets get over to jobina. All right. Ill have to tell you what a jobina story is about. The countdown to the nfl draft is on because there are no live wsports. Completely virtualecause of covid19 and the live desk with all the details. Good morning, kumasi.

That is mike and is department, but you can relate to this because the nfl when they did their practice round for the draft, they had a technical issue in the first pick and we all understand those issues working from home. I was looking and they said they picked like 58 top prospects. They all have like all the different hats from all the teams, so depending on like which team they go to, they could just pull out the hat and just be like, it should be inte see how this works. You know, a time honor tradition of mercifully or unmercifully booing commissioner goodell when he comes out to make the picks. How do you do that virtually . People will find a way. They always find a way. They do. I was wondering that, mike. I didnt know. When we showed that video, why are we booing him . Hes just walking out there. You know what im excited. The team as good as the niners who almost draft almost last when you make the super bowl have the 13th pick and after watching the super bowl if they can get one of the Wide Receivers from alabama, jimmy g. Will be very happy and so will niners fans. For sure. For cincinnati getting the first pick is really tough out here for the bengals fans. Feel for them. We have one in my family.
