You know go out into the community a new Services Like hair salons in that could cause more of an infection now also. Reopening not reopening today in halting some of this is San Francisco and contra costa counties for now im live in Murray County Sarah Stinson kron 4 news all right, thank you for the update sarah also happening today in marin county. Muir woods is set to reopen to the public there will be some changes so. Park officials are only going to allow mere woods to create or excuse me operated 50 capacity that will give visitors, you know a little more space for social distancing. Face masks are not required, but they are highly recommend it. Near woods is reopening, although marine county has put a pause on reopening some businesses after seeing an uptick in covid19 cases. And also happening today Contra Costa County expected to announce its decision about its reopening timeline later today. The county says its reconsidering its plan because of a recent spike in covid19 cases now this comes as governor newsome recommends that bars in contra costa and santa clara counties not reopen kron fours will tran is live in walnut creek. He has the latest for us on this well. Marty its a recommendation at this point but more than likely the counties will be lock step with the governor because they have scientific information just like the governor to base their decision. We will know from Contra Costa County they actually announced on friday that they would make an announcement today so they were actually ahead of the curve from governor Gavin Newsoms announcement yesterday now governor. He has said the 7 counties that need to shut down their bars immediately include Los Angeles Kern and fresno county. Now in space far as the bay area santa clara and contra costa counties there on his radar but right now its just a recommendation. The Contra Costa County Health Officials there already pointed to numbers, including an increase in coronavirus cases throughout the county. Now back in april 38 of cases that they dealt with covid19 dealt with people 40 and under now they say its up to 55 of their cases and they tend to believe the younger people go to the bars as far as the bars. They probably will not reopen there was scheduled to reopen on wednesday to Contra Costa County they will hold a News Conference today to outline their timeline moving forward but it doesnt look good for bar owners in fact weve got a chance to track down bar owners. Heres what they had to say about possibly not reopening. Were given a day were making all these changes were making all these purchases to make sure stab a shame establishment are ready to open and then we get slammed on okay, no its not going to happen i just dont think that you can foresee that this can be handled. Theres a chance that we might just do the right thing and follow the rules but first of all people just want to get thing where you know they want to be of course the devil is in the details. Let me outline how this impacts places that serve alcohol and food and those places theyre encouraged to be stricter as far as the alcohol distribution, meaning that the customers probably will be told to get a cop or something and then leave with the alcohol or at the very least have outdoor dining. His regulations or his recommendations i should say they involve places that only serve alcohol and not food. One important factor that needs to be mentioned its not the amount of testing thats being done, i know President Trump has talked about that he believes more tests in involve more positive results, but thats not necessarily the case in the case of Contra Costa County and the governor. Theyre pointing to the percentage of positive tests meaning if you test a 100 people and then 7 people come back positive in the month of april and a new test again and now 9 to 10 people for example, come back positive well you saw the percentage go up so theyre basing it marty on the percentage of positive results, not the amount of tests that are coming back back to you and thats an important distinction. Thanks a lot for clearing that up for us this will tran reporting for us in walnut creek, lets go now to San Francisco mayor london breed is delaying the citys plan to reopen more businesses today. The San Francisco zoo was supposed to reopen today. But now thats on hold. Thats because the zoo is in the category of ending in indoor establishment.

To the north bay hundreds of protesters gathered outside of San Quentin State Prison the Marion County.

Theyre also requesting the Immediate Release of those who are most vulnerable to the coronavirus as well as anyone with less than a year left to serve and no transfers from one prison to another. The protesters argue that there is no safe way to practice physical distancing and overcrowded prisons field well over 100 capacity. The public defender in Alameda County is urging everyone to contact governor newsome about covid19 outbreaks at san quentin. The countys chief public defender Brandon Woods wants a petition filed with signatures and comments into the Governors Office asking him to take immediate action to stop covid19 from quote killing more people in prison.

In an interview last night doctor fauci said at this point he would settle for a vaccine. That 70 to 75 effective. But a cnn poll says that one 3rd of americans do not plan to take the Covid Vaccine when its available. And thats one of the reasons why. We have to make sure we engage the community as were doing now to get Community People to help us for people to understand that we are doing everything we can to show that its safe and that is effective and its for the good of them as individuals. And in society to take the vaccine. I doubt seriously. That any vaccine 11 be a 100 protected the best weve ever done is measles which is 97 to 98 affected. 3 kron has 3 Coronavirus Vaccine is expected to be studied in large scale Clinical Trials over the next 3 months.
