Transcripts For KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 6am 20240713

Its quiet and i just want to remind people that certain parking restrictions are still being enforced. I dont think you can just go and not pay the meter. Theyre still trying to keep businesses open. This is traffic moving along very well. Transit system still working. A little rain here at the Richmond Bridge as steve has been saying. So that may complicate your drive wherever youre going. New numbers this morning. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University Say the number of coronavirus cases worldwide has passed 200,000. China, italy, iran, spain, germany have the most infections. Here in the bay area, there are 367 confirmed cases. Santa clara county has more than double any other county with 155 cases including five deaths z. San mateo is second, followed by San Francisco, contra costa, and alameda counties. Two of the bay area shelterinplace order. Once again the order says stay at home as much as possible. We expect to see empty streets and neighborhoods again and areas that are normally busy. And sky fox as you see here flew over several San Francisco landmarks getting a birds eye view of those areas. Only those stores and operations that provide what are considered essential services will be open like hospitals, Grocery Stores, banks, gas stations, and post offices. Now, Sonoma County is the latest bay area county to impose a shelterinplace order because of the coronavirus. Ktvus allie rasmus is in petaluma right now where its quiet now. Who knows if it will stay that way all day. Allie, it is expected to last for at least the next three weeks and what it means is that only essential businesses are allowed to remain open. Those include places like Grocery Stores and pharmacies. We can show you the list here. Restaurants will remain open but only for takeout and delivery. There will be no sitdown service. Hardware stores, gas stations and banks will remain open as well. Only people who work in whats considered to be essential businesses should be leaving their homes to go to work. Health core workers, police and firefighters, delivery drivers, journalists, taxi, uber, and lyft drivers and anyone who works in public trandz it. Sonoma county is now the seventh bay area county to enact a stay at home order like this because of the fear and the fear of the spread of the coronavirus. After the county revealed yesterday there are now six confirmed cases in Sonoma County with covid19 with two new cases just this past weekend. Napa and Solano County are the only bay area counties right now who do not have an order like this in effect. Napa Public Health Officials Say they are strongly considering it and say an order like this could come any day. Now, outside the bay area, monterey, san benito, and santa cruz counties also have a similar order in effect. The only bay area counties that dont have it is napa and solano counties. Life in petaluma, allie rasmus, ktvu fox 2 news. Well, people all over the bay area are learning a new way of life as they observe a shelterinplace order. Its a little erie. Thats a good way to put it. Not a backup on lombard street. Normally, the buena vista cafe would have been packed with people on st. Patricks day. But yesterday, the cafe and bar was packing up irish coffee and stew to go. One couple was wondering if they should even stay in the city after they were just laid off their jobs. Were just trying to figure out the next move. Do we stay work or are we going to seek out family . If we knew it would just be a couple weeks we would probably stay but we have no idea. It could go on for months. Mayor london breed asked the public to be patient saying this is about saving lives even if we dont have any idea how long this Health Crisis will last. The empty streets becoming more common ere day in all seven bay area counties with the shelterinplace orders. Look at downtown san jose. This is along allen rock avenue yesterday afternoon. Almost all the businesses were closed although a few designated as essential were allowed to stay open. Sheriff lori smith says there are some gray areas on what is essential. And each case is decided case by case. The question i get a lot is this martial law and it is not. It is not. Were looking for voluntary compliance and really to contain the spread. Now, the sheriff says deputies are out patrolling and they can write citations for violating the shelterinplace order, but she says thats only a last resort. And in almost all cases after the deputies explain the reason for the order, people are willing to obey. Governor newsom says it is unlikely any schools will re open before the end of the school year. I would plan and assume that its unlikely that many of these schools, few if any, will open before the summer break. Last night the governor told parents the s. A. T and other standardized testing will be clansed. He told parents to focus on home schooling their children. Time is 6 06. San francisco supervisor matt haney says the city secured at least 500 hotel rooms to help people who have to be quarantined. In a post on twitter last night, he added that there are possibly a 1,000 more rooms from hotels that have reached out to the city. And while the governor is planning to use hotel rooms to keep the Homeless Population safe from the coronavirus, supervisor haney says shelters need to expand to allow for more beds and buildings no longer being used due to the outbreak. And costco is implementing some new safety protocols that could make those long lines at the stores and the check out counts longer. Costco is limiting the amount of shoppers in each store. The numbers may vary depending on the store. Some locations have a cap of 50 shoppers. In addition to limiting customers, theyve placed a limit on items.

I dont want it 0 it mislead you to 6 plus million kids in our system and their families they need to make some plans at a time where plans are already being curtailed but planning with kids is some of the most challenging planning.

Campbell, redwood city, danville, dublin in there as well. Millbrey, half moon bay, san jose. Our pattern continues. Does not look like there will be a lot of rain. Possibility of thundershowers, but, again, i think that the lift was much stronger. We had some colder temps yesterday. That allowed a little bit Better Development to take place. I think it will be to the north towards mendocino county. Thats the rain versus this morning and its not a lot. From san rafael over to richmond a little bit. The city i cant find anything yet. But its been very light. Trying to work its way down the san mateo coast towards the Santa Cruz Mount 40s for most. Low 40s, mid 40s i dont think these will change much. So it is a front direction.

Still no hard time on knowing when pro sports may resume playing again and that includes the nba. A lot of ideas were kicked around by team owners yesterday during a Conference Call including playing just a couple of regular season games when or if the nba season resumes.

Kevin durant is among four Brooklyn Nets players who have tested positive for the coronavirus. In a recent interview with the athletic, the former warrior said he has not had any symptoms and hes , but he is urging everyone to be careful, take care of yourself, and quarantine. Now, because of those positive tests, though, the warriors are concerned some of their players might have contracted the kierz. The nets were in town to play the warriors when the season was called off. That possibly included some time when both teams interacted with each other. During a Conference Call yesterday, the team said its players will not be tested unless they show symptoms because of the shortage of those test kits. Another golfs major championships postponed now.

I think its a little easier for c hp to work under these conditions when theres not a lot of traffic. We had an earlier crash involving a caltrans trailer. Now, i do want to ask you to look at this video if youre at home and looking at the sales force transit center. Thit in the morning, usually it would be jam packed. Again, thats the main escalator there. There are a few people around. But if you have to conduct essential business using transit, you can be sure that social distancing will be possible. So go ahead and get out there and do this if you have to because you wont have to worry about running into a lot of people. All right. Lets go back to the live traffic. You can see that traffic is recovering from any earlier problems that we had. Im happy to say that we dont have a lot going on. About the only thing i do want to warn you about, it has been raining on some of these commutes like in richmond and parts of san rafael off and on. It has been some very light rain. Yesterday it was centered about Santa Clara Valley up towards livermore and thats where the thunderstorms erupted with big time hail in livermore. They had the most rain. Mount hamilton. 03. Redwood city. 06. Santa rosa. 05 and napa. 02. The pattern is winding down. But we still have kind of an unsettled pattern. Although, again, its not as positive for that as it was yesterday. San francisco, 56, 48. Whats average . 62, 49. The records go far back. 1914 and 41 the record low. Northern nevada and northwest nevada thats whats sending down little spokes of energy over us. The main low is down in Southern California. There is some clearing taking place up to the north. Mendocino county and lake county. That low is kind of hanging out its kind of stalled out over southern marin. 08 in marin. Maybe, that looks to be the main focus. South of that, it is moving. But theres just not a lot of rain associated with it for right now. But a little bit is moving in towards the santa cruz month uts. 40s for most. Not too strong, but if youre in the Higher Elevations z you can notice that south wind. You can see the seas in Southern California as it takes a turn and heads into Southern Arizona and california.
