Sonoma county. Little step. Were getting closer every day. Reporter in santa rosa, next bay area news. Most of the bay area as we mentioned is now easing restrictions and to different degrees. It is hard to keep track whats happening where. We broke it down in this manner. Three counties in the north bay already in faze 2, snoen, napa. Limited manufacturing is now open and the counties are finalizing their dine in option plans. Take a look at the next group, this group. They are going into phase two next week. Monday and tuesday. Marin, San Francisco, san mateo, that transition happen on monday. Alameda county and contra costa say that will happen on tuesday. Contra costa also says lit move to stage two, i thought it was tuesday. They say they are still not sure yet but the tentative date is tuesday as well. So if you live in one of those counties this is going to happen next week. They are going to open some retail for Curbside Pickup and some other businesses will reopen like manufacturing. Now, we went to menlow park on the peninsula to look at how Small Business along santa cruz avenue are getting ready there. Curbside pick up, delivery now allowed. Limited manufacturing can also resume. Hour the businesses must continue to follow strict social distancing guidelines. That is actually everywhere in the bay area. And specifically in menlow park that means only allowing a few employees inside the store or office at a time. Also keeping employees safe with necessary face covers. Wearing the mask, having social distancing. Having those shields. Reporter businesses and customers are happy to hear the news and say they will follow guidelines. As to the only county santa clara, no restrictions are easing at the time and the kobe bryant county says it has no plans to reopen at the moment. Nothing will change in the bay areas largest county until some key indicators are met. And that includes, jessica, more testing. Thank you, janelle. A draftic shift in the workplace all in response to the pandemic. Thats the word from Business Leaders in the bay area. A survey by the bay area council. 123 ceos interviewed. 18 of the companies surveyed plan on going fully remote. 89 of the companies surveyed say they will implement partial work from home policies. And executives expect about a quarter of their staff to go backs to the off in stage two of the reopening phase and expected increase inl incrementally in three and four. More than half of executives believe it will take their company a full six months to a year to recover from the Financial Impact caused by the pandemic. More on this survey coming up tonight, later. Come concentrations in the east bay will soon worship together. There is a catch though. Everyone will have to stay in their cars. On sunday, st. Catherines in martinez plans to live stream its service and hold a drive through communion in the parking lot. Nothing is like an inperson encounter but this is parts of that slow opening to allow society to engage in meaningful celebrations which is a really important part of returning to normal life. The county says worshippers will need to wear face masks when the windows are rolled down. And motorcycle wills not be allowed. Crack down on overcrowding. Starting today restrictions around lake merit in oakland. New no parking signs are posted around the lake, they will be there all this weekend and memorial day weekend too. The city says people can still visit the lake for exercise but they dont want people congregating like they have seen on recent weekends. Park goers have mixed reactions. I agree. There isnt enough social distancing. I try to get a quick work out in and then i go back home and finish. But sometimes during the weekends it is they are gathering in crowds. So i can understand the need do that. It is a inconvenience but this is a serious time. Okay. Food trucks and other vendors are also no longer allowed at city parks. In San Francisco, dloris park is open for no park rangers and San Francisco police on hand to educate people and distribute masks but if individuals dont comply with the health order meaning staying far apart they will close it down. A company in san diego called surge su su surento. They believe they have identified the first antibody that would go into the fight against the coronavirus. There is a long way to go. They are creating something that looks like a promising antibody base type of treatment but it is really still in the research side. Looking at it in labs. And havent really tested in human yet so it is going to be a while before we see anything like this on a wide scale. Sorento says it could be in human trials by july. Doctor turned patient at uc San Francisco doctor is back working in the busy emergency room after he tested positive and was forced to self quarantine. Dr. Daniel, so nice to see you. Im glad you are feeling better. You tested positive back in march, how are you doing now . Im doing fine. No symptoms at all. Great. And i heard you really didnt experience many symptoms when you first came down and found out you were positive back in march. What were you feeling . When i first got sick i felt a lot of body aches. Fevers. Cough. So you didnt actually need to go to the hospital. You were able to self isolate at home and recover . Yeah. So i didnt i went to the hospital to get tested but i was never admitted. So thats good. Because i know a lot o of people are. How did you self isolate . I know you have roommates. How do you the back room that im in now i stayed here. And we kwept away from each other. And any time i needed to use a common space id wash my hands beforehand and put a mask on and wipe down everything afterwards. I have a backyard too. So i got some sunshine. Good because a lot of people who did get it have roommates or family members and you dont want it when they do get released or when they do come down with it, you know, it is like what you do do . Were you roommates able to stay sfree of covid as well . Did it work . My roommates didnt get sick. And very fortunately nobody else i was in contact with got sick. I feel very lucky for that and im glad no one did. Wow. Good job. You are now donating or you did donate your plaza . Yeah. I did as part of a experimental study i got a test showed i have antibodies. So i went back a week later and donate ad liter of my plasma. That must feel rewarding. How do you feel working . Do you feel better knowing that you may have the antibody . Or you know there are reports maybe the antibody doesnt last long in the system . What are you hearing . Once you get diagnosed, how immune are you for how long . So i dont think we know. I think the jury is still out on that. So i treat it as if i am still susceptible. So full protection gear the whole time. Wearing everything i can to stay safe. Wash my hands all the time. Wearing gowns and gloves and mask and everything. Although i feel a little bit better because i had it already im still street treatying it like i can get sick again. Dr. Daniel. Thank you so much from ucsf the emergency room.

Joined from palo alto with the why. Here in palo alto, Santa Clara County where many businesses remain closed. Next to San Mateo County which is letting many shops reopen. That is putting pressure on santa clara and the Small Businesses. The Jewelry Store downtown has been a particular family run business since 1931 but been closed since march in accordance with santa claras Public Health order. The family has mixed feelings watching neighboring san mateo ease restrictions. We havent had a unified, cohesive response to this whole thing. Its been piecemeal. And that is how the opening is too. The Santa Clara CountyPublic Health officer has said key indicators need to be met to consider reopening including increasing testing from 1,000 to 4,000 people a day. Today the Public Health department unveiled a new covid19 test. A nasal swab and testing officer showed is much less invasive than the usual method. And he urged anyone who interacts with the public to get tested. County board president cindy chavez is encouraged by the new test and says she understands Business Owners are feeling the squeeze. Were going to get to 4,000 a day my guess is by the end of the month. So i think were very close on that. I think we really need to have the testing in place. I think that is the number one thing. Without the testing in place, you know, were kind of just shoot at a dart board. Reporter at this point the sclaanta clara county public heh department is keeping quiet and declining to county on other counties or changes to its own plan. Nbc bay area news.
