The country, cal maritime currently looks like a ghost town. All classes now virtual, no students on call pmpus. Sarah sanders son, noah, is a freshman. She was surprised when she learned classes were set to resume. It is interesting. Its weird. All my friends with College Age Students can keep their kids home for the summer. Thats not our case. Which is good and bad. Reporter cal maritime says the school is planning to take serious all cadets will be heal screened daily. They will live in their own individual rooms and be required to wear face coverings any time they leave the dorm. Cafeterias will be closed with food delivered to their doors. It sounds like a lot of restriction also be put in place, but how are you feeling as a parent sending your son back to school . Its mixed. Were taking the lead from our son. Checking in to see how hes feeling. So i guess theyre kind of a trial case. Well see how it goes. Reporter cal maritime is a small isolated school, just under 1,000 students. Many of the classes cannot be taught virtually. Thats why if theres any school to resume, she realizes this might be a good one to try first. If it doesnt work, well really know it will be hard for the bigger schools. If it does work, i would be excited. Reporter cal maritime these is a partial reopening. Of the staff will continue working from home. Because the county has extended their shelter in place order through may 17, the tentative start date for classes is may 20th. Liz, as we said, cal maritime is part of the cal state system. Is this decision to open cal maritime part of a larger plan for the csu system . Reporter thats a good question. One im sure many people have. The short answer weve been given is no, it is not. They say cal maritime is in a different unique position than other universities. We just got a statement from the Governors Office saying they only approved the Maritime Academy to reopen because of the essential work theyre being trained for, that requires hands on. They say this is the only academy of its kind in the state and does not seven as a precedent for other universities in california. Its unique, obviously. Thanks, liz. Theres no sign of statewide restrictions lifting. An today, the governor was very clear about sticking to the rules for a little while longer. The worst thing we do is we start sort of rest on our laurels thinking the virus has decided to take a break or go on vacation. Its transmisible as its ever been. Nothing has changed in that respect. The only thing that changed is our behavior for the better. Better behavior is not what was on display over the weekend. Crowds of people flocked to Southern California beaches. Look at this. Police estimated the number at 40,000 at newport beach. Today, the governor reminded all of us the threat of coronavirus remains. It doesnt take the weekend off. It doesnt take any time off. It is ubiquitous. It is invisible. And it remains deadly. That continued threat is why San Francisco and most of the bay area plan to extend shelter in place restrictions. Today, our reporter spoke with a business making plans to reopen. It has to be a big disappoi disappointment. Reporter oh, yeah, but not surprising. Businesses knew that reopening after may 3rd was wishful thinking. State officials realized that california has not seen the number of cases and deaths that other cities, other states have seen. But they insist that lifting the restrictions now could lead to a large surge in cases. Unfortunately, we will need to extend the deadline for the stayathome order through the month of may. Reporter sadly for businesses, it was expected, but it was not the announcement they were hoping for. Most businesses have been temporarily closed since march 16th. As they begin their seventh week in lockdown mode, businesses must now remain closed for at least five more weeks. Health Officials Say they are still seeing new cases of covid19. Make no mistake, this virus is still out there. And it is still a threat. Reporter the extra weeks will give the Economic Recovery Task force more time to come up with a protocols business also have to follow. Theres going to be a change with restaurants, a change with hair salons and nailsans seve weve been discussing. Reporter this salon in San Francisco has come up with its own todo list in preparation for the day when they are allowed to reopen. Their staff will be trained, there will be hand sanitizers, masks and gloves. Temperature checks will be done every day, and there will be staggered entry for clients. Our priority is to ensure the health and safety of our clients, as well as our staff. Reporter meanwhile, as people in San Francisco become more desperate to go outside, mayor breed announced jfk drive in Golden Gate Park and shelly drive in mcclaire n park will b closed to cars and open to pedestrians as early as 6 00 a. M. We still need you to socially distance yourselves from people out in the park and to stay six feet apart. That is so critical. Reporter and mayor breed is very concerned about that. The false sense of security that these masksiv people, they think that because they have one on, that they just need to maintain short distance. And i dont know about you, but this weekend, i saw a lot of people with their masks on approaching people very closely. Did you see that . Yeah. Or a lot of people still not Wearing Masks and approaching people on paths because paths arent very wide. Lets talk about the new shelter in place deadline extension. End of way is where were talking. Any chance, any hope that it could open before then, or is that a hard deadline . Reporter heres what we know. Governor newsom made it clear last week that it will really depend on how much testing and tracking gets done. Remember, testing is supposed to increase in the next few weeks. Once they receive that data, then they and if they see good results, they will slowly begin to open businesses. But, again, that sounds a little vague, but vague seems to be the most common words of these days. I would say that a lot of people are thinking to perhaps expect the worst but hope for the best. Yeah. Its probably a good way to look at it. Our insider weighed if on some of the changes, and he reminds us that people are getting antsy and theres another month to go at least. Lets say you have a business, can you do that business by going out to the curb side and delivering . Somebody calls in advance, can you do that . What can be done while maintaining social distancing . Im not thinking this is going to be a big change later this week. We might see some changes in the construction to allow for more. All housing to be built. We may not. We may see things about social gatherings getting looser, we may not. No big things now. You can read phils columns in the chronicle every wednesday and sunday.

Angela caruso with American Public media says data compiled by her team shows that more than 150 companies from Santa Clara County set up exhibits at ces. Being able to backtrack and see how the spread of this virus took off is important to figuring how to get back to normal life and be prepared if another Public Health emergency occurs. Reporter Infectious Disease experts say well never know how much of an impact ces had in spreading the virus, but one of the early events that may have contributed. Its worth exploring and looking at what were the roots by which people arrived at the conference and what were the roots and do those correlate with subsequent mini outbreaks of disease around the world .
