Because of the virus. California governor gavin newsom has told President Trump he expects more than half of californians will be infected with this virus by june. Think about that for a moment. But here are the uptotheminute bay area totals. Santa clara county continues to report new cases. 14 in the last day, bringing their total to 189. Six people have died in that county. San francisco updated its total this morning with 19 new cases. The total in San Francisco is 70. Most counties are reporting a handful of new cases. There are at least 474 cases in the region right now. In the south bay, a san jose reserve Police Officer has tested positive for covid19, and now several other officers are selfquarantining out of an abundance of caution. Abc7 News Reporter amanda del castillo joins us live from Police Headquarters with the latest. Amanda . Ama, San Jose Police chief eddie garcia says the reserve officer wasnt feeling well so, the officer went to the doctor who confirmed he had covid19. Now chief garcia says before learning about this diagnosis, the reserve officer worked a job in san jose. He was around other officers then. And the man was also in a twoperson vehicle with another sworn Police Officer. Fortunate news, those interactions were outside the 14day window, and no other officers are showing any symptoms at this moment. Still, out of an abundance of caution, the Police Officers Association Says a number of officers in the department will begin to selfquarantine. Garcia adds the county is now prioritizing covid1919 testing for its first responders. So thats something that not a lot of other agencies have. I think its great that we have that, especially where were at in the country with regards to the cluster that we have here in santa clara county. Ultimately, again, and ill speak to this, were here to provide a service. We have a mission to keep our community safe. We cannot shelter in place. That means our families cant shelter in place. We have to be on the front line. We know it. Thats a job we took. And so there is exposure to us at times, and there is exposure to our family. The infected reserve officer also went to an Assembly Meeting at the Police Officers Association Building here in san jose. Also in attendance, members of the departments Family Violence unit. Its those members that have been directed to selfmonitor and not report to work. Now members of that unit are not expected to be back until at least march 24th. Chief garcia assures the department continues to be fully operational. Here in san jose, im amanda del castillo, abc7 news. Amanda, thank you. Ayshia reporter kris reyes now live at the drivethrough screening and testing for coronavirus. This is a Pilot Project run by googles Sister Company and the state of california. And kris live with a look at day four of this project. Hows it going . Exactly. Good afternoon. You can see the white tents right over my shoulder, right across the park. But we wanted to give you this vantage point. You can see a park full of families in a lot of neighborhoods. Understandably, people dont want to talk to us on camera right now, but i did talk to a woman who was just passing by. I asked her how she felt about the testing site being here. She said she is not thrilled about it, but she is happy at least some testing is taking place. From the signs to keep your window closed to the masked staff attending to drivers, its yet another bizarre scene in our new coronavirus reality. Youre looking at day four at one of the few drivethrough covid19 testing sites in the country. And the line getting longer by the day. Having this test center in San Mateo County, being the epicenter of the region, this could be a potential model for others to replicate. This location at the San Mateo Event Center is an invitation only testing site, one of two in the bay area operated by verily life sciences, a subsidiary of alphabet, googles parent company. The other site in santa clara county. Everyone here had to answer an online questionnaire about their symptoms and travel history before driving in. About 130 people have been tested since the sites launch. 350 more are scheduled for the rest of the week. 12,000 have completed the online screener test. On social media platforms, some in the community expressing concerns that theyre not getting enough information about their new neighbor. Were learning. Were learning. Its been a day. So what we have to do, right, maybe its using the billboards. Maybe its using other tools. Maybe its finding a partner who is willing to broadcast that information. But make no mistake about it, the county is trying to do its best. And speaking to that, i think we can all agree this is the fastest moving story that weve all ever covered. Just to give you an idea of the confusion and frustration that can take place, about 20 rvs are also parked right now at this site. A newsletter went out to a community saying two individuals are being housed in those rvs as covid19 cases. I tried my best to get an answer from county Public Health to confirm their condition. They would not give us any information, citing that they are there, two individuals, but they cant speak to their condition. We will keep pressing for answers. Live in san mateo, im kris reyes for abc7 news. Kris, appreciate the followup. Now to San Francisco, where city officials are trying to figure out how to deal with coronavirus for everybody, including those who do not have shelter. Were talking about thousands of people. Abc7 News Reporter kate larsen live in San Francisco with the details on that. Kate . Well, you know, San Francisco and the entire bay area i isote who may become sick or test positive for coronavirus. We activated our departments command center. This morning, San Franciscos Human Services agency moved four Homeless People who were tested for coronavirus into hotel rooms. This will be a very common occurrence. We dont want people who do not need to be hospitalized to be there simply because they cant isolate. So trent rohr, the director of hsa is working on 500 San Francisco hotel rooms by the end of the week, and 3500 rooms over the next several week, all to quarantine Homeless People and those living in communal environments, like single occupancy hotels who become sick. Capacity will not be increased at the embarcadero Navigation Center. We have about 2,000 single adults in our Shelter Systems at Navigation Center right now. We are going to be reducing capacity in our existing system and moving them to shelters that we will pop up in locations some ofar hotels hav bn rponsive to city. Thousands of additional rooms could be reserved for first responders. We dont want our Health Care Workers who are on the front lines to go home, potentially infect others, be infected in their communities and not be able to work. So we are standing up hotels for them as well. So keep in mind that most of San Franciscos hotels are simply closed or empty. Im told there were just seven guests at the entire fairmount hol yestery. I asked art value r all of the rooms that they need, and they told me they are currently working out individual leases with all of these hotels that they could try and occupy in the coming weeks. Now as far as staffing is concerned, they hope that the hotels cooking staff can still cook meals and deliver to the doors of rooms, but it would have to be city and Health Department workers who would go through with cdc cleaning guidelines for that aspect of this process. Live in San Francisco, im kate larsen, abc7 news. All right, kate, thank you. Napa county is about to shut down. They will join us at midnight tonight with a shelter at home order. Amy hollyfield checked in with the residents there. Its the kind of line you would see for concert tickets, or for black friday deals, not for toilet paper. Incredible. I was in the front. I was like number 17. But i couldnt believe it was winding around the store. Craig warren said he never thought he would wait in line for toilet paper, but thats what this line was for at napas target store. Other shoppe could in. But if you wanted toilet paper or paper towels, you had to wait in this line. You go in kind of single file, and you each get one paper product, a toilet paper, one of paper towels until they run out. As the sun rose on napa this morning, it was the towns last morning without a shelter in place order. We found people cleaning out shelves at target and also at Whole Foods Market as they prepared to hunker down and also trying to get used to the idea of staying home. Its a little bit crazy. More people are dying from the flu than from the coronavirus. So its a little bit outlandish. And the hoarding is insane. Its smart to try to take all the precautions necessary. I kind of go back and forth, but its better to be safe than sorry. The Grocery Store will remain open, of course. But small nonessential businesses like la vie nail spa prepared to close under the order. The manager says he will miss their customers who he says have been very supportive. They tell us to take care of ourselves and theyll miss us. Theyll be the first customer coming back in here when the shop open again. Some businesses departents need an order. They had already proactively shut down. We checked in with gyms like this one, movie theaters to see if people were getting in one last visit today here in napa. But they were already os napa, news. Well, ill tell you where business is booming. An ess f soall prepared food wi takeout only. One vendor told abc7 that people are turning to the outdoor market because supermarket shelves are bare. Most bay area farmers markets will remain open for now, including the market at the ferry building. 247 inmates in Alameda County will be released from santa rita jail early because of the pandemic. Thats on top of 67 inmates who have also seen their sentences reduced by a judge. Sheriff greg ahern says most of the cases are nonviolent offenders, but others face more serious crimes like Domestic Violence and brandishing a weapon. But he says hell do what the courts have asked him to do because of this Public Health emergency. We continue to follow the life of a colleague whose wife was tested for the coronavirus and four days later still hasnt she still hasnt left her room so they had to find creative ways to socialize with family and friends. Multimedia producer Juan Carlos Guerrero narrates his story. We continue without knowing the results of the routine. Any wifes mom and brother stopped by for a visit. Sort of. Maintaining distance is important until we find out if my wife is infected. Maria does not live in the bay area. She is visiting from argentina. They facetime each other often, but rarely get to spend time together. This was supposed to be one of those times. What did you feel when you saw her like that . Im angry. Im frustrated. I want to know the results of the test at once so i can go on with my life. To cheer my wife up, we decided to call her other brother in spain. Theyre in the same situation.

During midday live, we talked with boba guys cofounder andrew chow about his business going forward. His stores are closing down temporarily. And he says for some of those stores, the closure may be permanent. We like many other companies had to shut a lot of our headquarters teams. The marketing teams, the sales teams, the catering, that just will not come back in the next few months. And we need to conserve our cash so we can stay alive. And we hopefully will open most of our stores back, but even some of our stores might not be financially viable to open back again. And i think we have to accept that reality. Everybody is saying in four, eightweek timelines. Were thinking about at least for me, i dont want to scare people. Im assuming its going to be at least eight weeks. We really had to figure out how do we stay alive during this time. The guys has nine stores in the bay area serving boba tea.
