Semester online. 4 of the 23 campuses happen to be in the bay area. Lets start with Governor Newsom here issuing strict and detailed guidelines today for restaurants, malls, and offices once they are actually allowed to reopen. Its not going to be anything like what youre accustomed to. Were in a whole new world now. Abc7 news anchor dan ashley live in the newsroom with more. Hi, dan. Hi, larry. Youre right. Clearly, we are not going back to the way it was. It is the new normal. The governor announced the new statewide guidelines at his new News Conference today. Keep in mind just because we have these new guidelines doesnt mean we can start making restaurant reservations. Were a long ways still from that. The final decision on reopen willing be up to the state not to the state, but to each california county. And here in the bay area, we are just not there yet. To date we are now making public the guidelines a number of other industries in this state, including the restaurant industry. Remember, restaurants, many of them open for takeout, but this would allow patrons to start coming back in these counties that have conditions that afford this. We are also on a statewide basis making it clear that mlsnd just traditional enclosed malls, but strip malls and those outlet malls can be opened for pickup. But one can choose a region like the bay area, the six counties can choose to be a little bit more prescriptive and restri restrictive. Parts of southern california, l. A. And others the same. The first reopenings will likely be in rural counties, obviously with much lower infection and exposure rates. Restaurants in the bay area and los angeles will likely be closed much longer. Here are some of the guidelins. Guests and visitors should be screened for symptoms upon arrival, asked to use hand sanitizer, and bring and wear a Face Covering when not actually eating or drinking. Guests would be encouraged to make reservations and order in advance. Restaurants will be asked to provide disposable or digital menus. Tables will not be preset. Instead, guests would only get napkins and tableware as needed. So its not just sitting there. And the tables will need to be six feet apart or have plexiglas barriers. All together the state had 12 pages of guidelines and find more information at abc7news. Com. Its a very complicated and involved process, larry, and were just in the beginning stages. Yes. And it seems to change almost every day. But we heard the governor mention malls, which have been crippled by whats happened here. Was he talking about all mall stores . No. And theyre going to stay crippled for some time to come, sieeate so myeople ervi gng needing a haircut and that kind of stuff. Were still a ways from that. Pickup will be allowed at stores that are allowed to reopen. So no browsing around the store. You cant just wander around. The stores will be required to screen employees for symptoms and customers will be encouraged to wear face covers, and of course maintain social distancing at all times. Just the beginning stages, trying to figure out how much risk we can follow rate and what cost reopening the state will present in terms of health risks to californians. Larry . All right. Thank you, dan. So meantime dr. Sarah cody updated the Santa Clara County of supervisors earlier today on why the county cannot move into stage 2 of the governors reopening plan. She had some pretty strong and alarming words in describing what would happen. The condition conditions really havent changed in our county. We dont have we dont suddenly have herd immunity. Well dont suddenly have a vaccine. We have exactly the same conditions that weve had in march. So tha i eup would see a brisk return of cases, hospitalizations, and a brisk return of deaths. Santa clara countyea. With well over 2,000 cases. At one point it had the most in california until the outbreak hit los angeles. Americas top Infectious Disease expert issued a warning to the senate today about the dangers of reopening the economy too soon. I feel if that occur, there is a real risk that you will trigger an outbreak that you may not be able to control, which in fact paradoxically will set you back not only leading to some suffering and death that could be avoided, but could even set you back on the road to trying to get economic recovery. Dr. Anthony fauci and other Top Administration officials testified before a Senate Health committee today. Fauci says at least eight vaccines are in Clinical Development right now, but it would be optimistic to think any would be ready by late fall or early winter.

The announcement came on the same day that you heard dr. Anthony fauci telling congress the idea of having treatments available or a vaccine to facilitate the reentry of students in the fall is something of a bridge too far. Abc7 news education reporter Lyanne Melendez with the story. San Francisco State is one of 23 campuses that make up the California State University system. Thats 500,000 students. Chancellor Timothy White and the board of trustees thought of bringing people together in close proximity amid the coronavirus and concluded that that approach sadly just isnt in the cards now. Today appearing before congress, dr. Anthony fauci was asked how University President s would navigate reopening schools. Even at the top speed were going, we dont see a vaccine playing in the ability of individuals to get schi fauci did not recommend cancelling inperson classes, but instead said that testing will likely play more of a role in helping schools reopen safely. A concept shared by president trumps testing czar. We expect there to be 25 to 30 million point of care tests per month available. It is certainly possible to test all of the students. The uc system said it will make key decisions in midjune. In the meantime, theyve come up with three scenarios. One, full remote instruction in the fall. Scenario two, inperson with certain restrictions. And this third and most unlikely, campus operations will largely return to normal. Some other colleges are already anticipating starting inperson classes in the fall. One of them is purdue university. Well be testing people and tracing those who do prove to have caught this infection. Dr. Fauci did acknowledge that the College Situation will vary from region to region, depending on the outbreaks reported. Lyanne melendez, abc7 news.

Today is the 57th day of the shelter in place here in the bay area. Nearly two months after the shutdown and returning to work can be stressful, making offices and stores safer for employees to return to will also be challenging due to privacy concerns. Some laws make off limits specific health questions. Abc7 News Reporter david louie joins us live to look at this legal minefield. David . Well, reopening any business or office from small to large is going to involve new procedures. Now some may seem deeply personal, but its all pat of making the workplace safe. It might be a simple questionnaire, possibly a temperature check. In this era of privacy concerns, companies are turning to consultants and legal experts to determine what questions they ask. The employer can ask certain questions that would not necessarily be entitled to ask more than is needed to make the appropriate determination. Hillary winedall says screening is important to determine an employee and visitors alike have been ill or expose to someone with the coronavirus. It may seem invasive, but the goal is to minimize the risk of spreading infects at work. Labor groups have been collaborating with employers on these protocos. We want to work with employers and work with Health Officials to ensure that workplaces are safe and part of the way to do that is with appropriate screening. Health officials have identified people with underlying conditions are at greater risk, conditions such as diabetes and compromised immune systems. Under the americans with disabilities act, accommodations must be made. But can an employer ask you its if an employer wants to volunteer information, its a different story. Reporter lori con stan zoe is an advocate in san jose. She and others say its an a balancing act to make the workplace safe and accommodate special needs without violating privacy. Both employers and employees have right, but workers may have an advantage. I think the courts and the injuries in particular are going to be very different, you know, moving forward, having gone through this. And i think theyre going to be very sympathetic to employees who may have been forced to work in unsafe conditions. Now in addition, Contact Tracing is a new area that also has privacy concerns. Thats why mobile phones can be used over bluetooth to track who youre interacting with, who might be infected that kind of privacy is still being debated. Were live, dave louie, abc7 news. All right.
