These are some of the services that are still in operation despite the shelterinplace Grocery Stores, pharmacies banks, gas stations. Obviously police and Fire Departments they will be open hospitals as well trash pickup, we need to keep a Clean Society right so trash pickup still going on utilities the mail, well still be delivered plumbing electricians theyll be out there and restaurants still take out and Home Delivery that still will be available. But you gotta believe james and area that will be on a very limited basis and a lot of people knew that thats why they made the mass dashed to the Grocery Stores yesterday. Back to you yeah, no will and i were texting back and forth yesterday with our Grocery Store experiences. It can get wild and crazy out there, thank you will the dmv will also stay open today, but the department is telling people to avoid going to their offices for 60 days unless absolutely necessary most renewals can be done online or through the mail but some of the reasons that you would need to go in person include smog issues and recent transfers the dmv is also asking Law Enforcement to use discretion when enforcing expired registrations and licenses. So far its unclear if or how local Law Enforcement plan to comply with the dncs request. A Grocery Stores then. Become Grocery Stores are staying open and if everybody floods and at one time and acts like youre never going to get food again thats going to be a problem we have seen hundreds of shoppers. Lining up as weve been approaching this emergency measure and things like toilet paper and bread and milk selling out. 7 caprice sparkling water some bread and eggs and oil and im just some veggies yeah she pepsi check in best of all sure and a lot of people love without the shelves are empty. Those are the empty shelves in san ramon. Its you know youre just going to wait for the stores to restock and then well get into a grove here because dont forget this is going on for 3 weeks. The best time to shop at this point is in the early morning. When they do restock the aisles i have heard not in the bay area unfortunately stop and shop we dont have those but some of them are limiting and restricting their hours for seniors only for example because think about this. You know there at the moment most risk in a much fragile and for them to have to fight with you bottle of milk. You dont want that the president is urging everybody to stop panic, buying and hoarding things. He also says that Grocery Stores. Do you have enough food and there wont be a shortage kron 4 Sarah Stinson is live in south San Francisco. Costco has been saying along the lines before they open are they doing anything differently to address the sarah. Well i dont know what theyre doing, but its not stopping shoppers people have been lining up before stores even open that cost goes across the bay area. Remember that viral video from above that aerial footage that showed lines of just hundreds of people believe seeing that right here in the bay area which a video from the novato costco where its just been crazy for some reason panic really ensued last friday, i dont know if you recall the last friday i went to the Grocery Store and it seems like everybody started to take the coronavirus seriously that day because there was lines everywhere all the stores started to get just completely ravaged through and the shelves starting to be empty, you know people of course are going for the toilet paper the pasta what else they dont force abroad was gone a lot of the things that can last a little bit longer things that people are panicking that they need to hoard and thats what President Trump has been telling people not to do do not hoard the problem is is that you start having a 50 boxes of mac and cheese and then your family next door has not one box of mac and cheese and this is a huge problem for people because they cant even feed their children now that we have the lockdown in place this shelter in place. Yesterday of course after that happened everybody had been to the Grocery Store even though mayor london breed and other local officials said Grocery Stores will remain open and will repeat that over and over again because its important to know you can still go to the Grocery Store so its not a time to be hoarding up because you cant go over again, lets hear from President Trump hell tell us more about that. You know as a vice so much taking secure people are going in theyre buying more they i remember i guess during the conversation, doug of walmart said that the by more than that by christmas. Relax. Theyre doing great. All will pass. Yeah and you know hes being a little bit more combed a lot of people you know hearing that they need to stay in place, it is a scary situation of course weve heard from and actually make an omelet set came on the show and said that people feel comforted when they hoard and that makes a lot of sense because thats what people are doing right now, but you know as i said Grocery Stores will remain open so say you run out of something you can go and the more that we hoard the less is going to be that extra carton of eggs or that extra a carton of milk so its important to just get what you need and go back to get some more and also just shelter in place and stay safe and healthy. For now im live in south San Francisco Sarah Stinson kron and it really good message and sara you know and think that your neighbor think of who if this doesnt affect you as a young person think of it as.

This is happening in italy and it cannot be stressed enough that a lot of experts are saying italy.

To health to to help a Health Care Workers and First Responders get to work, you know they need to take a Public Transit bart having enough trains. They say for social distancing so if you are traveling on bar. Now that they need to have longer trains. I mean i heard that i think it was yesterday by ridership was down 60 , San Francisco is suspending late penalties for failure to pay citations. Parking regulations are being adjusted. This is kind of but ive heard in some cases. You can park in other cases, theyre saying you cant so guess i would feed the meter if anything lets listen. They were suspending enforcement of residential parking permits peak hour tow ways and parking for longer than 72 hours. We will however need to continue enforcement of rules related to Public Health safety and accessibility of services, this includes street cleaning, walking a bike lanes double parking and parking in transit only lights. The meters will continue to be enforced because our businesses will still be open. See theres your feed the meter saying so thats important to now. Police are going to increase their patrols in retail areas to bring that to rent staff and make sure that people are not gathering in large groups. What about the restaurants. You cant eat in a restaurant, obviously all around the bay, the shelter in place means that it is take out only and no bars kron fours kate rooney has the details.

Typically take out accounts for about 15 of maxs total business whether thats customers picking up on their own are using a service like doordash are grub hub. Harriet says she plans to order takeout from axes but as worried about the longterm effects on society i just feel like so many people are going to get. Thats one of the reasons maxs owner murdoch had jobs, ian plans to continue offering take out for as long as theres a need not only will it enable him to continue to employ at least some staff but many of maxs longtime customers are older or disabled and rely on the restaurants meals hejazi un estimates about a 70 decrease in business in the last week due to covid 19 concerns but hes hopeful that maxs take out services will fill a need in the community. He said he saw an immediate uptick in orders following San Franciscos shelterinplace directive today and wants to continue with the service as long as theres a demand this sign right behind me says open for now, but with so much changing so rapidly during this time, no one knows for sure how long it will stay that way.
