Counties are likely eligible to start offering. In restaurant dining in the coming weeks. Counties have to meet the new criteria and then they can start doing and start opening schools to with modifications yeah, the new criteria would require counties have a stable hospitalization. Rate with no more than 20 covid hospitalizations in the past 2 weeks. Counties also have to have fewer than 25 cases per 100,000 residents in the last 2 weeks or less than 8 of testing. Coming back positive in the last 7 days. So theres some pretty strict criteria. Governor newsome though is painting a brighter outlook for june. Expect if we hold the rate. Transmissions we hold the Positivity Rate down we continue to do justice to the hospitalization icu numbers that will be making announcements statewide not just with the regional variances that would for retail not just to be picked up but in store retail to be loosened up. In addition to that sporting events a pro sports. In that first a week or so of june without spectators and modifications and prescriptive also could begin to move forward. But theres another big if if they see the covid cases and hospitalizations rising. Then those areas that opened up have to tighten back up and do more restrictions and for now jims tourism and Entertainment Venues are still closed. Those are all a part of phase 3 which is yet to come by the end of this week all bay area counties will be involved in that phase to reopening process. Here is where that stands this morning contra costa and alameda counties. They have begun curbside retail joining napa Solano Sonoma marin and San Francisco and san mateo counties.

Kron fours will tran is stand by live in walnut creek with how businesses will begin to reopen this morning and will youre in one of those hot spots in walnut creek where were expecting potentially a lot of people to come out. A lot of people because this is tailor made for what Governor Newsom is talking about that you dont have to walk in, but you can see what they have to offer for you in terms of window shopping there are sidewalks here. You cant walk in so james dury its like phases inside a phase. So this is a little bit deeper in the face to what you can do now in Contra Costa County which began at 6 oclock in the morning. And by the way also in Alameda County. You can start shopping by your items at non essential stores. Go down to those locations you can walk in they will bring it to you and then you can just leave the scene here. The great newis obviously brings workers back inside the stories who have not been able to work and you get your hands on some items that you probably want to you dont want to buy online you can get it right away. The good news about this is its just another sign of taking one more step closer to closer to getting things as close to normal as we can and whatever the new normal. It provides a sample reveals itself in the months ahead, but the bottom line is even though its getting a little bit more relaxed. Yes still have to be careful in fact, heres the Contra Costa County. Health official talking about what you need to do. In this latest development. Theyre really asking folks this one i union street or the cooperative with that the guidelines not to do mass shaming but to lead by example and and uh you know follow all we use the term Face Coverings because its not always a medical grade mask, but it could be a band and it could be a scarf over your face and we do require at any time youre out in and youre are close to other people. So the malls enclosed malls, theyre not included in this because they dont have sidewalks and you cant just walk up to the location like these shops which are perfect for phase 2 in walnut creek. As far as some of the other ed about at Santa Clara County a little bit later this week remember you cant walk and that is not part of the deal that could happen a little bit later they will monitor the situation but for now you cant do that and employees inside they have to demonstrate to the state that they too are taking every precaution including dissonant disinfecting items as well as wearing the masks they wont have a full staff of employees moving around italy some will be able to return again 2 major counties contra costa and alameda counties.

A surprise announcement from President Trump. He has been taking hydrochloric win for 10 days now. This after we know at least 2 members of the extended white house staff have coronavirus yeah joe johns reporting the doctors and Health Experts say this drug. Has not been officially proven effective yet against covid19 and it does carry Serious Health risks for some. A stunning announcement from President Trump saying hes taking daily doses of hydroxychloroquine despite multiple studies concluding it does not help treat the coronavirus and at least one showing it could cause heart problems hydroxychloroquine. When right now a couple weeks ago started take it in. Because i think its kind of heard a lot of good stories and if its not good, ill tell you right, youre not going to get hurt. But trump says he asked his position whether it was a good idea to take the drug as a preventive measure, i asked him what do you think you said well if youd like it and said you had like it i like to take a lot of people are taken overnight the white house doctor sending this memo mentioning trumps personal military ballets positive test earlier this month without explicitly linking it to why the president began taking hydroxychloroquine writing. We concluded the potential benefit from treatment outweigh the relative arrests. Trumps claim hes taking daily doses comes after weeks of promoting the antimalarial drug without proof it works so we know that event. If if things dont go planned its not going to. Kill anybody hydroxychloroquine. If youd like what we have to lose. The president often going against the advice of his own medical experts like deing cdc guidelines in march saying he would continue to shake hands, you cant be a politician and shake hands. Trump refusing to wear a Face Covering even while touring this mask manufacturer in arizona and at a press conference in the rose garden last week as many white house staffers looked on wearing them in the case of me im not a dime not close to anybody hes also mused aloud about other unconventional treatment ideas like using disinfectants that i see the disinfectant. If not yet. And is the way we can do Something Like that. Injection in almost a cleaning. Still President Trump downplaying the lack of evidence hydroxychloroquine works here we go you ready. Heres my evidence i get a lot of positive calls about it. But the fda says the drug carries risk and should not be used outside a hospital or Clinical Trial as the president you can get tested and checked out and get the uk, jesus stuff like that. But what about everybody the the message is very clear dont take this we dont have evidence that it works it could be harmful. That was joe johns reporting House Speaker nancy pelosi also weighed in on the issue of the president s surprise announcement saying that he shouldnt be taking that drug because he does have several risk factors. Hes our president and i would rather he not be taking something that has not been approved by the scientists, especially in his age group and in his shall we say week group had but hes morbidly obese. They say. So i i think that was its not a good idea. Well the white house physician unveiled last year that the president s body mass index was at 30 point for placing him in the obese category that again thats just one of several risk factors, not in his favor.
