Because of an overturn accident that just clear this is in redwood city. Northbound one o one at the what side exit this is where a truck flipped over lost its load. We have 3 lanes shut down so thats out of your way clear just a few minutes ago, but the backup is still there so north one oh one is crawling through redwood city menlo park palo alto it spilling back up through the south bay mix again with the heavy traffic leaving san jose. A whopping 87 minutes to make it from san jose to menlo park because of that residual slowing and then that heavy traffic on one oh one spilled over to marsh bayfront expressway. And thats why youre all backed up across the don martin bridgestone also impacted west 84, which is jam from the toll plaza all the way into menlo park so its not looking good at 44 minutes to the peninsula. All of that is residual slowing. We in terry terry. We have never seen before at his that been a Tony Partridge and thats of community transmission. But at the same time which can also be contained with that right measures. Coronavirus cases spiked in the as the virus continues to spread their now more than a 100 cases across the country and officials are warning thats going to rise. Yeah fact a total of 6 people have died in Washington State 4 of them. Who died lived at the Life Care Center a nursing facility or its near seattle. Then there are 4 other cases of coronavirus in Washington State which also appear to have links as well to that facility here in the bay area, 3 new cases are confirmed including one where its unclear where that patient got infected cover Sarah Stinson actually following that story for us now live in san mateo sarah. Here at the Health Department for the county and they have confirmed that one person is being tested by the cdc for the coronavirus and they will likely test positive thats what county Health Officials are saying and that makes a total of 3 new cases the other 2 being in Santa Clara County. But back here in San Mateo County that testing is still being done the biggest question is how did this person become exposed to the coronavirus because that person was not traveling nor did that person have come into contact with anyone else who has the coronavirus the person is an adult patient and is being hospitalized in these currently in isolation. So theyre still investigating how this person is exposed to it while ensuring anyone who came into contact with them is evaluated as well. The cdc does say though people who have come into casual contact with the case like going to a restaurant of the same shop us a person is at minimal risk of developing in section yesterday. I was reporting about 7 cases of the coronavirus in Santa Clara County. Well county officials confirmed they have 2 new cases this increases the total to 9 people who are infected in that county the 2 additional patients are men one is a household contact with an already confirmed case in that county. The other is a household contact from a confirmed patient in another county nepals are under isolation right now still havent heard back from the Health Department here in San Mateo County to see if they have sort of update on that test being done by the cdc so stand by to kron will be covering the coronavirus and super to say all day long. For now live in san mateo Sarah Stinson kron 4 news okay. Thank you sarah bay area murders. Personnel are closely tracking the spread of the coronavirus and preparing for the worst.

Is super tuesday and the voting is underway in california. So the fears of the coronavirus on the minds of people as they head to the polls casting a shadow over all of it kron fours will tran actually live in Sullivan County now where polling places are taking some different steps to try to keep people healthy well. Democracy can be dirty and this year could be a little bit dangerous which is why a lot of people are showing up mindful. Not to do too much touching. Right behind me you can see some of the poll workers they have a hand sanitizers the whites are right in front of them over the past couple of minutes, we actually saw them get up and wipe down the box where people are dropping off their ballots in california. We do know that 20 people have the coronavirus with many of those cases in Santa Clara County but last thursday solano county. Actually declared a state of emergency, so they can prepare for the coronavirus have the resources ready to go possibly even if that happened the money to buy things like hand sanitizers and wipes and all the other things that they need today, the masks to make sure that the public and the workers are safe. Many people are showing up choosing to drop off their ballots. We have not seen anybody use the booth so far and i got to tell you ive seen people even open the doors using their elbows to have the door automatically swing open, so they dont touch. Anything if they possibly can in the meantime many people say coronavirus or not their main candidates today. His safety. The take whatever precautions you need to to do whats necessary and what precautions are you taking washing there early. Im making sure you know that im just not touching on you know touching my face and the precautions that that cdc. Pretty much recommence do you feel comfortable like save the handover the ballots this year they have a hand sanitizers and wipes because carry my to do so. Its okay. We seen workers go around making sure that tables are fully stocked with the hand sanitizers they only do it to make sure that people who are walking into the building and this is the registrar of voters in fairfield that everybody is safe, but there are locations where you can drive up drop off your ballot and theyre actually recommending for people to do that today because theres less interaction if you have a mail in ballot. Too late to drop into the post office of the mailbox but you can certainly do that today by dropping it off at one of the boxes and i promise you after shes done touching that one of the workers will get up and wipe it down back get all right, thanks a lot. Well. As voters head to the polls this morning for super tuesday were hearing from all of the Major Political candidates left in the race we did have a couple drop out over the weekend but joining us right now is san jose mayor sam liccardo who endorsed Michael Bloomberg for president mayor liccardo its a pleasure having you on the broadcast this morning. Good morning, good to be with you excellent so for anyone still undecided a give us a quick primer. Why Michael Bloomberg why did you endorse him. Well i think this time when we all know seem very serious price with 8. And so endemic in this country. We need a leader who knows how to lead and how to get things done and Mike Bloomberg show to new york after 9. 11. How a city that was devastated could be rebuilt. How he could lead a city that adds 470,000 jobs su 2 recessions when every other city was struggling with rising poverty and rising inequality is reducing poverty in new york. Its really that kind of leadership that steady leadership that we need a time like this. You know, and ill say that he spent as we know record amount of his own money on us ads in super tuesday states to be specific. Some critics will say that hes just trying to buy his way into this race. What should voters think about that we had a recent poll that came earlier this week and it showed that he was in 4th place among the candidates here in california behind Sanders Biden and warren worthy as effective at some people are uneasy about how hes jumped into this race spending so much money again help voters understand. Yeah it would be one thing if you are simply spending money and he didnt have a record to run on this is a man who was elected 3 times in the largest most diverse most complex city in the country and has an extraordinary record of building Affordable Housing for new yorkers, a 175,000 units of leading local to take out coalfired plants to address Climate Change the and this is reduce gun violence is a man that has a record to run on is not simply throwing money into an election and lets be clear theres an awful lot of money being thrown in behind a lot of other candidates. Republican National Committees depending on hundreds of millions of dark money contributions and those are coming from all kinds of sources we dont know where we know where Mike Bloombergs money is coming from coming from. Mike we know exactly what he believes in. We spoke about record we have a Vice President joe biden of course who. Had an astounding victory in South Carolina. He has a record senator for decades. He has the endorsements of a growing number of people including the 2 campaign are the 2 campaign rivals, Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar over the weekend is Michael Bloomberg still the right choice for moderate democrats when it seems like more and more momentum seems to be going joe bidens way how do you counter that. Well absolutely uh i think as this the on voters really have an opportunity to better focus on the respective records, each of the candidates and thats where Mike Bloomberg really shines when people can really see what hes been able to do not just for new york citys but as a leader as a mayor and since his time in leading mayors throughout world to tackle Climate Change for to address the great challenges of our age around health insurance. These are the kinds concrete i think people want to be able to look it how are we are so bitterly divided with partisanship in this countrys more than anything people want someone to get it done and mike has shown he can get it done.
