Nbc bay areas cheryl hurd joins us from napa with more on the cheryl. Gut not ter napa county is requiring face coverings. Six bay area counties are making that mandatory. Even though some of the rules here are being loosened a bit, the stayathome orders are still in full effect. Downtown napa remains a ghost town tonight.

Some of the Outdoor Activities such as allowing golf with physical distancing protocols. Reporter the county is also permitting all construction, drivein religious services, landscaping and gardening maintenance. All of the above with proper protocols. The decision was made because the areas covid19 case and death rates are low compared to other parts of the bay area. These changes taking place as Governor Newsom tells californians changes wont come quickly. We have tried to make it Crystal Clear that theres knowledge light switch. Reporter the governor says restrictions will start to lift when theres more testing and a major decrease in cases. Here in napa county any change is welcome. People are able to get back to work because its been dire in napa for six weeks. Reporter in napa cheryl hurd, nbc bay area news. California hasnt fully flattened the curve just yet. Cases within the state spiked for a second straight day. But in the bay area things have slowed down. Roughly 100 new cases today for a total of 6800 cases and 298 deaths. Santa clara county is just shy of 2,000 covid cases. Statewide, though, there are more than 37,000 confirmed cases, with 2,000 cases added just today. Okay. As for lifting shelter in place orders, check out this new map from the university of washington. Researchers have estimated when each state in the u. S. Should reopen based on confirmed cases and testing capacity. Now, the purple states you can see here, theyre in three different shades. They could start opening between may 4th and the middle of may. California specifically may 11th to may 17th. That is the recommendation. The red states, as you can see here, have a date of late may to mid june. The darker red you can see here even later, including arizona and utah, the midwest and florida and georgia. Researchers say those states should not reopen until at least june 19th. Now, despite that recommendation georgias governor is going ahead with his decision to allow some nonessential businesses to reopen this friday, including gyms and hair salons. Even President Trump is not on board with this. I told the governor very simply that i disagree with his decision. But he has to do what he thinks is right. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp says the move is critical to bring back the states economy. But georgia has not seen a twoweek decline in cases, which the white house and cdc recommends before reopening. And Business Owners themselves are divided. Some say they will reopen while others will remain closed. Today georgia topped 20,000 confirmed cases with nearly 850 deaths. Well, the death of a south bay woman has researchers trying to figure out when the virus started infecting people in the United States. An autopsy revealed that south bay woman died of covid19 three weeks before Health Officials even knew the virus was spreading, making her death now the first in the country. As nbc bay areas ian cull shows us, the governor is asking for another look at other deaths. Reporter the race is on to learn when coronavirus first came here. The governor calling on coroners to investigate people who may have died from covid19. Weve actually directed beyond just santa clara to go back as far back as december to request coroners autopsy to dig even deeper. Reporter it started when a south bay woman, 57yearold trish dowd, a mother who graduated from san jose state and worked at lam research for nearly three decades, died at home february 6th. The medical examiner sent tissue samples to the cdc and was told just yesterday that she died from covid19. It was three weeks before officials knew the virus was spreading when they say testing was inadequate. What these deaths tell us is that we had Community Transmission probably to a significant degree far earlier than we had known. Reporter epidemiologists say the effort to investigate past patients can help know the origin and track infections in the u. S. So given the travel contacts we have with china and the United States i dont think it would be unreasonable to say that people in january could have been having cases of coronavirus. Reporter with that in mind officials now say it may have been good the 49ers didnt win the super bowl. If they had, a bay area parade like this one in oakland two years ago, could have fueled the spread. In san jose ian cull, nbc bay area news. Okay. A mask is a must. Yes, wearing a face covering, jessica, is no longer optional in six bay area counties. Its now required by law. If you go to the store or get on Public Transit without one, expect to get turned away. The order requires businesses to put up signs and refuse both entry and service to anyone without a face covering. This is a fundamental change to our lifestyle, and its not a sprint. Its not even a marathon. Its an ultra marathon thats going to last months, seasons, maybe even into next year. Health Officials Say it will take . Getting used to, but consider it the new normal. A major announcement from san jose state. Most lecture classes for the upcoming fall semester will be held strictly online.

Reporter the coronavirus pandemic has put the brakes on modern society, giving our planet the chance to breathe. The bay area air Quality Management district used a model that estimates traffic is down by 70 . Carbon dioxide emissions are down by 26 . Nitrogen dioxide dropped by 38 . Thats only temporary, though, right . When things go back to normal, will we go back to normal as well . Rob jackson is an environmental scientist at stanford university.

Climate change. Today were not sure that we can beat climate change. I believe we will. And i hope that the things we learn from the virus and the stimulus funding that goes toward green energy and such can help us move in the right direction rather than moving backwards. Reporter in oakland melissa colorado, nbc bay area news. All right. Lets check in with chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. We had a beautiful sunny day today. Can we expect the same tomorrow . We can. And were actually going to crank up the temperatures a few more degrees. So sunny and warm. Get ready for that. And on this 50th anniversary of earth day i did want to start off with Something Different tonight. Just a simple reminder of the power of trees. We know how beautiful the bay area is and how many trees we have here from the north bay down to the south bay. And look at this. Its pretty basic. We all remember this from school. But you can see trees help remove carbon dioxide, lower cooling costs, also clean the air and the water. Now, the numbers are astonishing. 9. 5 million tons of co2 is removed from the air. This is for San Francisco specifically. 2,627 million gallons of storm runoff is avoided as the trees take in the water. And 161 Million Pounds of air pollution is absorbed. So if youve got some free time, i know a lot of us have some extra time on our hands, and a nursery is open near you, maybe plant a tree this weekend because you can see all the good it does. What about the good weather tomorrow . We have that sunshine coming on back and some low 50s. So not really that cold to begin. 54 in the east bay with a few clouds rolling in and a little bit of patchy fog in San Francisco. And the north bay at 55. Temperatures will go hotter tomorrow. So really all day tomorrow is going to be a pretty good time to get outside. Were going into the 80s for the south bay. 81 in downtown san jose. Over to the east bay. Look at this. Got to get the telestrator going here. To point out walnut creek, concord, pittsburg, antioch all in the low to mid 80s. That will be close to some recordsetting highs. Peninsula also warms up to 80 in palo alto, but notice at the coastline we have the ocean breeze. So well be 20 degrees cooler here at 60. Also the ocean breeze in San Francisco will have 67 in the marina but a little milder in the mission at 70. And the north bay going up to low 80s from ukiah to novato right over to napa. My extended forecast, its simple. Once again, 60s next seven days, but we are watching for some clouds on saturday. So not as sunny for the first part of the weekend. My inland valley forecast has near recordsetting highs into friday, saturday. The clouds move in. But notice the temperatures dont budge. Well keep those 80s in the forecast as we head all the way through the next seven days. Next wednesday, day 44 inside with covid19. I know its a little bit of relief for some folks to start to see some of these services returning. But it has been a long time. Ladies, back to you. Okay. Thanks so much, jeff. Well, coming up were learning new things about the coronavirus every day. A new revelation tonight about the people who may have a higher risk of developing complications.

And, were going to need some help with the rest. Youve worked so hard to achieve so much. Perhaps its time to partner with someone who knows you and your business well enough to understand what your wealth is really for. New at 11 00, a new study shows that people with particular conditions are at a greater risk of developing complications from the coronavirus. Researchers say patients with covid19 who have diabetes, high blood pressure, or are obese are all at greater risk. The study focused on 5,700 people in the new york city area. That study was published in the journal of the association. Experts believe animals can get the virus from humans. This comes after the cdc confirmed positive cases in two separate pet cats in new york state. In the first case no one in the house had tested positive for covid19. But in the second case the cats owner tested positive first. Symptoms are similar to humans like a runny nose, cough. Both cats had minor respiratory illness. But experts say there is little risk of humans getting the virus from their pets. Your biggest concern is definitely people more than pets. And if your pet does have it, you probably gave it to them. For now the cdc says you should keep your pets away from other peoples pets. Kaiser is rushing to build a massive lab to help assist with the rise in testing capabilities. The 14 million lab is under construction on 2nd street in north berkeley. It will be able to handle up to 10,000 tests a day. The hospital says test results will be available within 24 hours.

The team that drafts me is getting a super hypercompetitive guy, a guy who refuses to lose, someone whos going to be a vocal leader, someone whos going to push everybody to win a lot of games, hopefully win some championships. We hope his dreams come true. Experts predict weaver will be drafted in the middle to late rounds. Hockey in the middle of summer . Yes. The nhl is considering returning to the ice in july. Under a scenario discussed the league could come back to various cities with multiple teams playing in the same location. Hockey games havent taken place since march 11th.
