Plans. Tonight nearly the entire bay area is on the states watch list because of the surge in cases. The one county not on the list, san mateo. Boming a big draw forservices they cant. Some people even driving for miles just for a haircut. But as nbc bay areas Marianne Favro explains, san mateo might not stay off the watch list for much longer. Reporter San Mateo County is seeing an increase in new covid19 cases, which is why Public Health leaders fear that the state will put the county on the monitoring list in just a few days. And that means gyms and hair salons will have to close down again. In san mateo tonight, it was so busy downtown, we spotted several lines for food, something you can get anywhere in the bay area. But a lot of people were barber hair salons are open. So tony llamas drove 22 miles from San Francisco to get his first professional cut in four months. I thought, you know, let me try to get a haircut actually, mainly because san mateo is the only place where you can get a haircut these days. Reporter other salons said they were busy today. 1yearold ace lives nearby, but many of the customers here at alexs deluxe barber drove from san jose or dublin to get a cut. However, its a luxury that may not be available next weekend. It appears to us that the county early next week may be on that watch list, and so thats around new cases. Reporter chief of San Mateo County health, louise rogers, issued a statement saying, what we are not currently on this list, our case rate of 101. 2 cases per 100,000 in the population, 14day rolling average, will likely put us on the list soon. Supervisor david canepa feels San Mateo County was able to get to this phase of easing restrictions in part because of an aggressive Public OutreachCampaign Launched early. But the countys investment in social media, in billboards, making sure that in businesses, that we have those placards in have really worked well for us. Reporter canepa adds while there is some concern about the number of outside visitors in San Mateo County, he says it all comes down to wearing a mask. So the countys next message wont be about having to close hair salons and in san mateo, and look at covid19 numbers statewide. Cases are rising. California now with more than 375,000 cases. Almost 7,600 people have died in the state because of the virus. If you break those cases down by day, well, this is the chart you get. Were seeing cases have grown tremendously. Now, you see it right here. Back in midapril, this red line is the sevenday average. About 1,100 cases there. That continues to rise until you get through june. Daily new cases on average, more than 2,000. Beginning july, thats when things really start to shoot up. That highest peak just a couple days ago, almost 6,300. Thats the tallest bar on july 14th. New cases for that day alone, more than 10,000. As of july 17th, just yesterday, the last bar all the way up there, well, the sevenday average more than 9,000 cases per day in the state. Now, its worth mentioning the state is conducting far more tests now than in previous months. Now take a look at where in the bay area people are being treated for covid19. Overall, 672 people are hospitalized across the regions. Down in the south bay, thats 153 south bay patients in hospitals. You can see that number slightly higher in Alameda County, one of the latest hot spots for the coronavirus. Lets take a look now at new covid19 cases for today here in the bay area. Alameda county reported 241 new cases. Thats the most out of the counties that reported. Santa clara county, 169 new cases. Contra costa county, 160. And San Francisco, 141. The counties that you see here that have dashes, those are the ones that have not yet reported numbers for today. Some help for the surge at california hospitals. Military medics have been called in. A 21person team from Travis Air Force base is helping doctors in palm springs. Theyre assigned to covid isolation units at Rancho Mirage hospital. The icu is full, and theres 80 capacity in the rest of the hospital. Rancho mirage is not the only hospital in Riverside County in need of help. Some 17 hospitals in that county are now relying on traveling nurses to cover the surge in covid cases. Dozens of Alameda County sheriffs deputies and staffers have tested positive for covid19. The Sheriffs Department says back in march, there were just two cases, and then no more until late june. But in the last few weeks, 38 employees have tested positive. Most of them sworn deputies. Some of the infected deputies work in the senaanta rita jail, which is trying to curb an outbreak. With reopening plans constantlyes by the hour, we know it can get confusing.
