Here in the bay area and whitney wild is in washington dc with the latest on the cases that have popped up across the country over the weekend were going to check in with all of them in just a moment, but first we want to provide with the very latest headlines. This morning, 2 people have now died from the coronavirus in Washington State. The latest was a man in his 70s and officials are investigating a possible outbreak at the nursing home where he lived meantime here in the bay area 5 new cases were confirmed over the weekend. 2 hospital workers one from Alameda County the other from salon a county they both tested positive after coming in contact with a known patient. Both Health Care Health care workers are employed by north bay vaca Valley Hospital. They were in there they are now in selfisolation in their homes in Santa Clara County 3 more people have tested positive for coronavirus being there to 7 people infected and there are 16 patients in total across the state who have coronavirus lets begin our Team Coverage right now with kron 4 Sarah Stinson shes standing by live in Santa Clara County with the very latest on the new cases there sarah. The m live here at the Santa Clara CountyHealth Department they just released these new numbers 3 new patients to that have now have the coronavirus that brings the total to 7 and as you said that brings it to a little bit less than half the amount of patients in california take a look at your screen we broke down the numbers and kind of laid out the facts for you can see the trio was announced by Health Officials one of the newest cases includes a woman with Chronic Health conditions who is being hospitalized the investigation of her case is really just become big and so more information is to come hopefully that comes to us this morning for the 2 other new cases involves a married couple who recently traveled to egypt the men and women are being hospitalized right now the man the husband has a Chronic Health conditions due to privacy laws and not much more information will be released about them for now the county is working closely with the cdc to protect the public Health Officials say on their website and increase of cases is not expected in the county theyre working to identify anyone who came into contact with those patients. Were just waiting for the latest information from the Health Department here and they do say that the best thing you can do for now is just to protect yourself and that means washing your hands and avoid touching your face that is how people most commonly get the flu, a common cold and in this case, the coronavirus im live in san jose Sarah Stinson kron 4 news all right, thanks. A lot sarah. Now the more on those 2 hospital workers who were found infected over the weekend both worked as we mentioned at north bays back in Valley Hospital one is from Alameda County the other from Solano County testing positive after coming into contact with a known patient element Alameda CountyHealth Officials have declared a Public Health emergency as a result. Cutting concerned that we want people to know and that the county are taking this situation am we are taking all measures you. I that anxiety is to begin planning. The 2 hospital workers are in isolation at their homes and anyone who came in close contact with them are also under selfquarantine. Some bay area schools are taking action that because theyre afraid about the spread of the coronavirus cleaning crews have been busy there now disinfecting classrooms and palo alto throughout the entire School District is a matter of fact all of this after 2 students may have been exposed to the virus kron fours will tran is live there in palo alto with the latest well. Im in front of one of the schools jail Stanford Middle School which should start in about an hour or so from now the School District. Didnt even wait for the Santa Clara CountyHealth Department to tell them to clean the rooms instead they did it over the weekend and we have video to show you the deep cleaning crews came in they will wiped down the chairs the light fixtures anything that the kids and the students and the teachers could possibly touch today in the weeks ahead because of fear of coronavirus in this particular case, the 2 students was actually their parents. They may have come into contact with somebody with coronavirus and therefore may have given it to that students at jail, stanford and the other one at Palo Alto High School which is why those 2 students were told to go home on friday, so they could be checked out by Health Officials in the meantime over the weekend actually everybody in the School District knew about it, including a couple of students so we tracked down. So the flu is a disease thats been around for a long time and kills about 12,000 people year in the us alone and coronavirus has killed 271800 of them being in china. So im not too concerned about it i think a lot of people are because its a new virus and its spreading really quickly havent washed my hands for ensuring the safe clean as much possible i might think step down washing hands and james story as far as those 2 students are not saying their names of course for privacy laws as well as if even come from the same family but we do know they are not allowed to return to schools and so they have been checked out by medical officials and cleared just want to be Crystal Clear nobody has coronavirus as far as positive results, they just want to make sure and you Better Believe ive done the stories before in the past that the teachers will remind the students to certainly wash their hands thoroughly and when they go to the bathroom and on a side note you only can you zoom in on this so many people are washing their hands now i think societys got unclear and look at this i wash my hands so much that i have the ashes cracked hands in the world but anything to prevent coronavirus right back to the same same well i owe my hands of just been washington nonstop news in the this effect is second all that stuff has as its spreading 1200 testing kits are on their way to california. The cdc for set a batch of 200 to the stay but those are already almost gone. What i find she she director west h korea is just get james aus and people a day and theres no reason state shouldnt be able to produce a large number just and get them distributed across the country. We still dont know exactly when theyre going to arrive in california, but there are some things that you can be on the lookout for in diagnosing of whether or not you think it could be coronavirus or is just the flow because its different whether its upper or lower respiratory if youre coughing. And you have a shortness of breath. Those are signs its lower respiratory. And that would signal more corona the flow is an upper respiratory illness. And our coverage continues on kron 4 dot com dont forget. We have a link there to an interactive map where you can actually watch the spread of the coronavirus as reports come in, and then a special report that we recorded on how to stay safe from the outbreak thats available for you along with the timeline of events from the initial report of the coronavirus up until today, you can find all of that again under our special section dedicated to the coronavirus thats on our website at kron 4 dot com.

How is wall street reacting as a new week began and some stores are running out of supplies because of the coronavirus im jane have those stories coming up. And its been a comfortable morning. So far but a brisk one because its so windy. That makes those temperatures in the 50s feel a little chilly. Ive got your forecast ahead. And as we head back to work this monday morning prepare for a backup at the bay bridge toll plaza, its packed here with 80 vo in life, there are talkers and there are doers. Mike bloomberg has spent his life getting things done. Started a company from scratch, creating 20,000 good paying jobs. Thats getting it done. As mayor, he rebuilt a shaken city after 9 11, created over 450,000 jobs. Expanded healthcare to 700,000 and raised teacher pay. Elected for three terms because he got things done. Mike beat the nra, strengthening gun laws. He beat big coal, closing over 300 dirty coal fired plants. Mike is still getting things done. So ask yourself. For president , do you want a debater or a doer . Someone with workable, common sense plans to fix healthcare and create jobs, whos done both. Mike has the record and resources to beat trump. And it will take both. But mike will get it done. Bloomberg im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. Z3s7oz z1ncz y3s7oy y1ncy and 13 and were looking at the weather and know well were hoping were going to get some rain yesterday didnt materialize, but it is on the way shes going to take a while yeah, yeah its a slow transition out of what was a historically dry february. Yeah, our driest february since the civil war crazy is that it was until the first of march actually that we saw that snow in the sierra exactly yeah that sierra snow to help barry as you mentioned though daria right. And we still havent seen that we will get their marches looking favorable for some rainfall especially next week looking like the end of the week, especially is going to work its what were going to work our way back into what should be normal conditions for this time of year which is seeing healthy rainfall. You look outside this morning shows just the opposite not a cloud in the sky from some known or really anywhere across the bay, what you got to know this morning though is that it is windy out there so skies are beautiful and clear temperatures arent all that bad, but it is very breezy. So as are driving into work youre going to notice those winds pushing your car around just a bit especially up into the north bay east bay hills and right along the coast, some of our most when proand areas into the afternoon winds calm down a bit and then into tomorrow its going to be an even lighter day as far as winds go lots of sunshine across the bay today and were going to keep the sunshine around tomorrow to wednesday a few clouds out there on the horizon, but no rainfall just yet. A couple sprinkles are possible thursday and friday its not going to amount to much though really holding off on a rainfall until the end of next week. Snow will be back up into the sierra towards friday and saturday if youre heading that direction for the weekend. Good news for skiers and snowboarders not the best news for drivers into early next week skies dry out before that rainfall. Im talking about eyes. The bay area finally after what has been a dry spell for the bay since the end of january 60s and 70s for your high temperatures with hayward at 70 oakland conquered age of 71 San Francisco freeman san jose upper 60s while temperatures tomorrow will be even warmer wednesday, even warmer yet were really cool down into friday saturday and sunday highs fall even below seasonal averages in some cases back into the low 60s with just slightest a chance of showers friday and saturday. Robin all right, thank you john im taking a peek at the richmond sandra fell bridge. I think theres something new going on that has not been reported yet because. Check out the drive time 45 minutes that is not normal to get from the pay gates off to one o one im checking the wires nothing coming across just yet. But it looks like theres something 5. 80 west near mid span thats causing this big backup all of a sudden 46 minutes, so ill keep my eyes on that for you the traffic heading into San Francisco, 80 west definitely looks normal spilling back through the maze all of your connectors are solid, you know the normal monday morning commute to work no problems here under 15 minutes to make it and heres what i wanted to San Francisco. Both north and south just a little heavy right after the 2. 80 split. But thats good and then 2. 80 wide open from daly city to downtown San Francisco. So thats not going to be a problem 5. 80 west, a great option for you its only 15 minutes from to 38 to downtown oakland. If youre opting for the nimitz its going to take longer a 21 minutes to downtown oakland and the no problems on north to 80 san jose to cupertino thank you very much rob and 7 60 is the time tomorrow is super tuesday. And there are still a lot of undecided voters, especially now that people to judge and tom stier dropped out over the weekend where will their voters go. We want to take a moment and let you know where each of the major Democratic Candidates that are still in the race stand on some of the big issues to give you the information you need as you head to the ballot box. The latest poll numbers at a california puts Bernie Sanders of 4 in the league you can see 37. 8 of the vote going to him right now in the latest poll. Joe biden 21 followed by senator Elizabeth Warren at 60. 1 and Michael Bloomberg rounding out the top 4 with 10. 8 of the latest poll. So lets take a look at how they differ on some of the issues last hour we look at look at their stances on the economy and this hour we want to look at their approach to improving immigration. For example all the candidates want to reverse the president S Immigration policies as well as create a path to citizenship or at least how they go about doing that that sets them apart, senator Bernie Sanders for instance would like to institute a moratorium on deportations until a thorough audit of past practices and policies is completed. He would also reinstate and expand dhaka develop a what he says is a more humane policy for those seeking asylum and senator sanders also wants to completely reshape and reform our Immigration Enforcement system in fact, hes looking to break up ice and cbp and redistribute their functions to other agencies as for Vice President joe biden he would like to reverse all of trumps policies for things like to travel bans and the asylum rules and the separation policy and the new public charge rule. He would like to also create a road map to citizenship for the nearly 11 Million People that are living here without documentation, but have contributed positively to our communities and he also wants to focus on federal resources and pointed them towards supporting Community Efforts to welcome immigrants actually would like to reestablish the task force for new americans again those are just some of the policy differences between the 2 front runners. Coming up later this hour were going to look at their plans of the plans from senator Elizabeth Warren and Michael Bloomberg so stay tune for that daryn.
