The news at 11 00 starts right now. Good evening. Thanks so much for joining us. Im anoushah rasta. Im terry mcsweeney. Santa clara county is pulling the brakes. They are comparing the covid crisis to a train about to derail. Among the new restrictions is a quarantine. Will it be enforced . We begin coverage with bay areas Marianne Favro at san joses bay area international. Reporter San Jose International must post the information and also give each arriving passenger a copy of the order. Letting them know that they are required to quarantine for 14 days. This is the last group of travelers arriving at sjc who will not be asked to quarantine. But at midnight that all changes. Thats when a new travel order goes into effect in Santa Clara County requiring people who travel more than 150 miles from the county to quarantine for 14 days. Travelers have mixed feelings about the restriction. For most people that doesnt really that wont really fly with their sort of lifestyle, right. Irk work from home. Some people might not be able to work from home. I dont know if theyll miss out on income or what, you know. I think its a good idea, right. The death numbers picking up. Reporter there are some exceptions, such as people who perform an essential government function. Its not clear if the county will be tracking whether people actually quarantine, but the county is notifying travelers of the policy. Were requiring transit facilities where people may be coming from, greater than 150 miles, for example, the airport or train stations to affirmatively provide the quarantine information. Reporter not only is the airport required to post this sign about the quarantine order, but it must give a copy of the directive to arriving passengers. With new covid cases increasing exponentially, and regular hospital beds in the county expected to fill up by december 3rd, the county is also cracking down on businesses, issuing at least 76 fines last week. No grace period for covid violations. Most of the violations were for failing to submit a revised covid19 business plan. We reached out to Santa Clara CountyPublic Health department to find out the specifics on how theyre going to enforce this new quarantine order, but they did not provide any details. What we do know is that this new order applies not just to People Living in Santa Clara County, but anyone who visits here for more than 150 miles away. In san jose, Marianne Favro, nbc bay area news. Over the past week, tsa has processed more than 7 Million Airline passengers. Sounds like a lot and it is, but its still less than half of what we saw last year. Here at our bay area airports an average of about 18,000 passengers went through sfo per day over the past week. The airport says a 75 below average. San jose International Says it also saw far fewer travelers this holiday week than in a typical year. And with all that travel, Health Officials are warning of an even greater surge in the coming week, something that could overwhelm the states hospital system. Take a look at this. Yesterday the state reported a record 7,415 patients hospitalized with covid19. Just one month before that, that number was down 2,358 patients. The increase there is of more than 5,000 patients in just one month. Now lets narrow even further and take a look at hospitalizations. Hospitalizations within Santa Clara County, this is data from the first of the month. At least 272 patients are currently hospitalized. You can clearly see the number of hospitalizations rising steadily all month long. The San Francisco 49ers opening up after an emotional win and at times getting emotional over the uncertainty of what happens to the team next. The team wont be able to play or practice at levi stadium for at least the next three weeks. Nbc bay areas Anthony Flores joining us now with the teams reaction to these new restrictions. Anthony. Yeah, terry. Head coach Kyle Shanahan called it disappointing when he found out about the countys new regulation on the flight to los angeles. Now, he says the team and the franchise have been working hard to keep everybody safe and follow the rules. For us to be heading out here yesterday, the relationship we have with them for all the players and coaches and everyone on the plane to find that out while were getting on the plane and nobody tell us was extremely disappointing. I have a lot of guys here who, we can handle anything. We understand how big of a deal this virus is, and thats why were so committed and we feel thats why like weve done it as good as we can. Its been a struggle not having my little, my Little Family sorry if i get a little emotional, but, you know, its really tough and i miss them so much. And its a fight out here every day. Youre fighting for your life, and i just want people to understand that, you know. Its not just football players. Its the whole organization, its everybody. You can hear the emotion in both of their voices. The team is working on a new game plan. Now, they have not finalized where theyre going to stay, practice or play, but its clear that leaving their families behind will not be easy. Now, the 49ers next game is next monday night, but theyll have to find a place to practice by thursday. Reports from nbc sports bay area says theyll likely practice in arizona or even san diego and play their games in arizona. But, again, nothing has been finalized by the team. Back to you in the studio. Anthony, thanks very much. Take a live look at San Francisco now. That city and county moved back to the purple tier today. San francisco will now have to abide by the states curfew beginning tomorrow night at 10 00. It lasts until 5 00 in the morning.

Broadway grill in burlingame one of the businesses adjusting to the new restrictions. The option of indoor dining, forget about it, its gone. The restaurant hopes to get a parklet or tent soon. Even that comes with challenges. The Biggest Issue obviously is going to be wintertime. If its raining, you know, its probably going to be no business at all. And basically were hoping for some takeout. For retail shops, the indoor capacity is being further reduced just as Holiday Shopping season arrives. And then there was one. Marin is the only county in the bay area that has not moved back into the most restrictive purple tier. That means that it also does not have mandatory curfews in effect. It is hanging on in the red tier. Nbc bay areas tom jensen now from mill valley where there are worries about whats ahead.

A manager at deangelos restaurant is thankful people have worked to slow the spread of covid here. I think so far everybody has been, you know, very careful like when we have people Walking Around here, everybody is wearing their mask.

Reporter a major question, who should be in that First Priority group. Cdc advisers are meeting tuesday to vote. Likely health care workers, but theres debate about residents of longterm care facilities. When we move a new drug into the general population and we look at how it acts in the real world, its so critical that we do so before we move into a frail population. So that is why even though longterm care residents are at greatest risk for covid, there is some consideration that perhaps the vaccine should be delayed for them. Reporter experts have a range of concerns including possible side effects of the vaccine, and that many nursing home residents cant travel to a hospital or outpatient clinic. Major pharmacy chains such as walgreens are prepared to bring the vaccines to Nursing Homes by setting up a Central Location in the facilities or by going room to room.
