Temperatures are only going to heat up even more so into the afternoon, well have all the details coming up in my full weather check a little bit later back to the news, thanks ally and lets start with the coronavirus california becoming now the first state in the nation. To exceed half a million covid cases. We are so much worse off now than we were when this whole thing really blew up in march, yeah, hard pill to swallow just this morning top doctors are warning the u. S. Is in. What they consider to be a new phase of the pandemic Stephanie Elon takes a look. California was the first state to shut down. And now its the first to have more than half a million coronavirus cases on sunday, the state recorded almost 509,200 total infections. But back when california began reopening in may. There were roughly 64,600 cases. There is some contained the and controls how this spread in the beginning when the opening up took place. We have more cases and that should be. Instructive to others. The the viruses dishes and you have to have. City shelter in place as long as you need it. California added over 9,000 new cases yesterday on may 8th, it was just over 2000. The rise hitting major cities like San Francisco, hard and state leaders fear its because residents are becoming too relaxed when practicing social distancing. We have to get more comfortable with changing how we interact with one another this is been the biggest challenge when we find out to our Contact Tracing teams. The fact that people are still coming together in large groups and family groups this is where people are spreading the virus. In los angeles, the county Health Department is now investigating this party for First Responders at a hollywood bar. Despite businesses being required to close indoor operations. Top Health Officials say americans following preventative measures like Wearing Masks could have positive longterm effects on fighting the coronavirus wearing a mask is incredibly important that we have to have like 85 or 90 of individuals wearing a mask. In avoiding crowds that is essentially gives you the same outcome as a complete shutdown this is doctor deborah birx warns the United States has already entered a new phase of the pandemic. What were seeing today is different for march and april it is extraordinarily right spread its way into the rural as equal urban areas. No matter where you live in america. You need to wear a mask and socially distance the cdc now predicts 19,000 more americans could die from the coronavirus. Over the next 20 days. If the current trajectory continues. Some more serious measures need to be taken in order to flatten the curve. Im concerned that sort of complacency that weve seen the coronavirus has led to these Mass Gatherings and a general sort of disagreement with the many parts of the country. That was stephanie reporting according to the cdc 19,000 more americans could die from covid in the next 20 days. And look at them already these numbers of people who have died of covid in california. 9,396 people, including 818 who have died in the bay area. Well the peninsula we have several businesses in San Mateo County now forced to shut down over the weekend after the county was placed on the States Coronavirus watch list. Businesses like gyms and places of worship and hair salons you see out there on the list indoor shopping malls, theyll have to close. They could operate if they did so outside they still have to observe the states. Watch coronavirus guidelines. Curbside pickup is also still out however the county says that shops which offer tattoos and piercings they cannot operate under any conditions right now people we talked to say they understand this is going to be tough but they they also understands about safety. Im doing my part to support local people outside to go. Everybody comes out and supports him with to go and Outdoor Dining i think well be ok. I mean the virus doesnt care about our business the virus doesnt care about anything except finding a new victim. So youd its various singleminded as much as it has any mind. Many Business Owners are asking how long these closures will last so they can figure out exactly how to plan financially Going Forward, theyre hoping maybe the county will give them some guidance in the coming days. Well have to keep you updated on that. San mateo is in a new boat now theyre looking at finding people who dont wear a mask and the county sheriff says well theyre on board with it. Theyll look to enforce it if thats the rule kron fours will tran live in san mateo with the latest will. Thats kind of a new twist on this story. Thats right because a lot of Law Enforcement officers across the country, lets face it, they dont believe in masks, i mean it ranges across the board we just did a story from stephanie, they know the numbers as well and in San Mateo County. Theyre tired of telling people to put on a mass now theyre asking people if you dont do it. Well we have Law Enforcement officers who will make you do it really quickly i want to show you the gyms heres one right behind me leave some video that i shot a little bit earlier this morning because San Mateo County has been on the states watch list they are rolling back a lot of services james you talked about gyms dont bother going to this gym here this is fitness 19 off el camino reale in a perfect world. They would have opened up at 5 oclock in the morning 3 hours ago so james you can get your workout on but its not happening because of covid19 lets get back to the mask other counties theyve talked about it you heard mayor london breed said people need to take it seriously and San Mateo County if you dont take it seriously. According to county supervisor dave cannibal if he has it his way which he will introduce an emergency ordinance tomorrow and if its passed the first infraction will be 100 if youre caught without a mask in areas where you can not prevent social distance where you cant be more than 6 feet apart from each other the second infraction is 200 and if you get caught doing it a 3rd time from the first offense within the one year calendar year. It will be 500. But dont worry so bad a lot of people are talking about well will you spend a day in jail, some people think that might be going too far. No you wont be spending any time in jail, this will not be on your criminal record but 100 doria thats a lot of money you dont need to tell me twice i have one mask. I have to masks ready to roll more masks at home because were all in this together were just not at the gym right now you dont have to find me 100 that i know, im surprised youre standing there in an empty parking lot without one on just in case. I mean you know looking over your shoulder you better put it on hes behind you hes finding drive by with the window up so im safe right now because theyre driving by nobodys getting physical us at the gym is concerned and definitely not james yesenia jim bohannon 25 ive seen plenty of pictures of him generally thank you very 8 08 is a time right now and 21 san quentin inmates have now died of covid this is the governor says he wants to release more than 8,000 inmates from prisons across california another angle to this whole story kron 4 Sarah Stinson live at san quentin with the latest sara. Releasing a 1000 inmates across our state is all with the goal to stop the spread of the coronavirus which is rampant inside prisons like san quentin behind me have seen a ton of employees heading in this morning all of them full gear on with their mass and everything its because of the fact of the reason that they want to release inmates because they need to maximize more space right now a longterm guard over 30 years he spent years in clinton. He is fighting for his life against the coronavirus plus we know another inmate, a death row inmate died yesterday of the coronavirus at a nearby hospital over 2000 inmates have tested positive and as you said 21 inmates have died. Youre looking at a picture now of Orlando Romero a 48 yearold inmate he died at a nearby hospital yesterday from complications related to the coronavirus romero was put on death row after being convicted of firstdegree murder plus several other charges in Riverside County back in 1996. The growing spread in death rate. Especially here at san quentin has Governor Newsome releasing the 8,000 eligible inmates across the state by the end of this month. The department of corrections says they need to do this to protect staff and inmates. Californias crimes crime a Crime Victims Alliance has spoken out against this saying victims are traumatized wondering if their perpetrators going to be back into the community has some of the eligible inmates are being released a 180 days early and some are being released a year early to be eligible, they cannot be serving time for domestic violence, any Violent Crimes at all and no crime requiring him to register as a offender all pro all prisoners that are released. Will be tested before they get to leave the prison grounds and this is a huge issue not only are they trying to again protect the inmates, but the staff which as weve seen are leaving and coming going here and then they go home to their community which is all over the bay area. Some of the guards here work or live as far as san jose as far as up in napa so you really just dont know where the spread from the prison is going to spread further into the bay area from this theyre trying to stop that from happening. For now, im live at san quentin Sarah Stinson kron 4 news. All right, thank you very much sara.
