Thanks robin 5 02 and the top story coronavirus is on the rise across california and now the governor is considering forcing counties to roll back reopening here in the bay area Sonoma County is the most restrictive thats the one. In the purple where they have substantial and or widespread i should say number of cases weve got the other bay area counties for the most part in the moderate orange San Francisco, the only one in the yellow which means minimal Solano County insubstantial now another county that seeing a trend with more cases is Santa Clara County and there are some rollbacks their kron 4 Sarah Stinson is following that live this morning. Hi sarah. Hi there yeah, its big concerning as people i know are trying to do the best they can but there is such a thing as pandemic fatigue in people you know they get a little bit more lax they take their mask off when theyre walking their dog are out in public and there are around people and thats when it can become bad you have to wear your mask we have to keep staying vigilant with our distancing in everything we can do to stay safe. Because governor Gavin Newsome fears that a second wave is upon us he says that our case rate is up nearly 50 in the last 3 weeks and that is highly concerning so this is a time to be a vigilant. California is testing 144,000 people a day on average and as you just heard bay area not doing so well reporting live in Santa Clara County where leaders are worried as well about a rise in cases leaders believe celebrating halloween and the recent Election Results will have a big impact on case numbers. In the coming weeks and we have colder temperatures that means people well be wanting to eat outdoors so maybe they will start eating indoors or maybe restaurants will have to shut down because it will be any more restricted restrictive tier and people will invite others over to their house and that could cause a higher transmission rate very concerning Governor Newsom wants to remind people that this is not a time to become more relaxed. No matter how much were feeling tired from this pandemic. Well why do you think theres been an increase in cases here in the state of california. Its for obvious reasons people are letting their guard down theyre taking their masks off theyre starting to get together outside of their household cohorts there started to see businesses reopen and were starting again to see more people mixing as it gets colder. Well see more still so this was anticipated. No one is surprised by this. And weve been talking about this possible second wave, but we didnt really realize you know halloween came up then the elections and we have just were just in the beginning of holiday season. We dont realize that you know inside we want to go hang out with our friends and our family but we still have to remain vigilant as i said because the concern is that the bay area specifically could slip into a worst here each county is on the verge of slipping into a worst here which means you have more business was would have to shut down. And more activities would not be allowed so if we stay on it keep going then hopefully we can stop this spread and stop this case rate from continuing increase well hear more about this today from Governor Newsome reporting live in palo alto Sarah Stinson kron 4 news all right, thanks sarah. Well check in with you later. Well stick a little deeper into the south bay. The surge in new covid19 cases could force local Health Officials to tighten their own restrictions as sarah was saying Santa Clara County saw more than 350 new cases on sunday alone. Thats most there the most since july another troubling sign is a sharp increase in hospitalizations Health Officials are trying to figure out what exactly is causing the search. Its possible that. We are about a week plus out from halloween. Its possible that we are all experiencing pandemic fatigue as weve been this for a very long time. And the county is stepping up enforcement of Health Orders so far 79 businesses have received notices for noncompliance amid more than a 1000 complaints about possible violations. And heres a look at the latest covid numbers. We now have surpassed 10 million cases here in the u. S. With more than 237,000 deaths in california. Weve had nearly 18,000 deaths and for the bay area specifically weve had more than 1800 deaths now from covid19. It doesnt matter your party, your point of view. We can save 10s of thousands lives of everyone would just wear a mask. The next few months. A simple message from president elect joe biden wear a mask, even when he takes office in january he wont have the constitutional power to issue a nationwide mandate. Infectious disease experts at u c berkeley say the studies are clear wearing a mask saves lives so moving forward biden is asking americans not to look at masks as a political statement, but rather a way to stay safe. He can only model a mask policy and encourage local governments to adopt it. All the federal government has a lot of buildings and control on land and so they can start a mask requirement or federal employees from way out of the second thing a president has bully she urge all. Just try to encourage people to get better about masks and as the pandemic it gets worse. Actually be easier to left. There are currently 15 states that do not have a statewide mask mandate. 5 07 is the time lets go to the north bay now were sandra fell city schools are now welcoming back kindergarten through second grade students for in person classes today. I hope they bundle up those Officials Say that is safe for them to return, but they have to follow the guidelines kron fours will tran live at Sun Valley Elementary School with more hi will. Yes bundle of you can see my scarf it is cold this morning. So when the kids are back in the classrooms make sure you bundle and get them ready and do not bring stacks because theyre not allowing snacks inside the classrooms because they want the kids to always wear their mask as far as the schools, they are ready to roll james and darya the actually tested about a 1000 people, including students and staff before today just to make sure that they were all safe and they have the blessing of the law more in health and Human Services department take a look at your screen. So you talked about sun valley. There are 6 other schools that are ready to roll today and unlike berkeley which had fulltime students arrive yesterday, this is going to be hybrid. Theyre going to be in the afternoon and rotate for other students in the afternoon excuse me in the morning and then rotate in the afternoon. These are the schools but vista san Pedro Coleman sun valley, glenwood the knee should valley and laurel down so whats going to happen is they will come in and we dont know the exact amount of students but were talking obviously 7 schools with 3 grade levels. They will come in and then in the afternoon they will leave the school and then do Remote Learning and then the afternoon students will come in and they will have in class person face to face with the teachers and then they will rotate so this is a hybrid schedule unlike berkeley but it is basically their attempt to dip their toe in the water just to monitor the situation. The covid rate has been pretty good in moraine county and thats why theyre doing this at this time school should start in about 3 hours from now and i can not wait to interview the kids and the the parents i did that yesterday in berkeley and theyre all excited to show up and bottom line is they have learned according to experts james and area that younger students do a lot better with face to face interaction with their teachers back to you. Yeah, no doubt about that thank you very much well. Meanwhile, San Francisco unified School Students shouldnt expect a return to class anytime soon. The district is in the middle of inspecting each school in assessing whether its buildings can safely support classes, one of the Biggest Challenges is making sure that air circulation and ventilation meet the new Health Requirements in the best Case Scenario some students likely Young Children those with special needs might be able to return to the classroom after the first of the year. We could learn more during tonights school board meeting. We know at least one board member is going to submit a plan for getting kids back into the classroom. 5. 10 at the time and still ahead on the kron 00 00am morning news, the future of the Affordable Care act could be in jeopardy.
