50s for current temperatures alameda you are only spot on the map along with San Francisco holding on to those low 50s elsewhere, it is down into the 40s and thats a whole lot cooler than yesterday at this time. Talk of the rest of your day in your forecast still to come over to you robin all right, lets check in on the traffic i keep saying its so much better than yesterday.

So its really picking up as folks are heading off to the peninsula 12 minutes and growing to make it over to one o one at a live look at the Richmond Sandra fell no problems here leading up to the pay gates all is well were right on time with no problems 7 minutes to the north bay well check more traffic coming up a little bit later james darya back to you all right robin, thank you 5 oh one our top story this morning, the United States has surpassed another. Devastating milestone in the ongoing covid19 pandemic 250,000 americans have now died from this disease. A quarter of a million thats a higher death toll than any other country in the world. And its also more than twice the number of Us Service Members killed in all of world war one. We get closer to having a vaccine. We know that ucsf has been chosen as one early vaccine. Distribution site in california kron fours will tran is live in San Francisco now with the details about this good morning. Well. Good morning to area, one of 7 places chosen to look at the new vaccine and so far it looks very promising. They are still doing research right behind me once the vaccine is ready to go and they are very pleased by the effectiveness so far they have tested. Around 170 people and they say so far it looks to be around 95 effective and if it holds up they will test it on the people who need it most oceans 8 has been give it to the people who need it most those on the front line helping people with covid19 so they are still testing as we speak once that goes into effect and the front line workers get what they possibly need it obviously will be distributed to frontline workers across the country as she officially as they possibly can and then for the general public for hope and they are working together with the Health Department, california as well as across the country with the hope that the general public could get the vaccine as early as january or sometime in spring of next year, but as far as the front line workers at ucsf and other places james and darya now that we are in the late stages of this month. They could get as early as probably 10 days from now some time in december, good news on that front a lot of people are fearful about that. But even doctor fauci says this looks pretty promising. Back to all right, thanks a lot. Well james. Well while a vaccine may be on the way getting it distributed to millions of americans is another issue at least a dozen states already say they need more federal money to administer and track the vaccine president elect biden held a virtual roundtable with Frontline Health care workers are Catherine Heenan host of inside barry politics says that health care workers. Theyre frustrated. President elected by there is something seriously rod. When nurses have to take to the streets to bay. For protection in the middle of a weve been unable to get access. To the kinds of things we need to know about the depth of the stockpiles we know theres not much at all we get to the point where we have a sense of. When these vaccines comes out how the big distributors will be first in line with the plan is too much is made available soon were going to be behind by weeks and months. President trump has been largely silent about the pandemic in recent days, turning his attention instead to the columns that he won the election. As the cases are surging in San Francisco. The city is now asking residents not to use its government operated testing sites to get ready for Holiday Travel or for other plans that they might have to gather and that includes testing sites. Like city sf at the embarcadero appointments there are booked up through december 2nd supervisor matt haney says that site and a few others in his district are important. 4 essential workers. Those whove been exposed to the virus and others. Who do not have medical insurance. The worst thing would be for our testing sites to be so oversubscribed to have a backup. Await that people who really need to get tested because they might have been exposed is they might have symptoms because they might have no other option. I cant get tested. Places that you can choose from doctors recommend that you check with your primary physician because you might not have to pay covid testing is typically free the second way is go through your you there are ways to get a home test kissed a kit for you. Lets go to the east bay where Contra Costa County now reporting more than a 100 complaints related to covid19 Health Orders in the past 10 days which is in part the reason why Contra Costa County has moved back to the purple tier, the most restrictive phase of reopening in california and with that roll back the countys covid19 task force now focusing on stricter enforcement. But it can be be you know things like a cross fit the lawn. It can be Outdoor Dining where theres not social they can be indoor which now isnt allowed. You know how hard it is for businesses right now. We want to support them. But ultimately they need to follow Public Health guidance thats really important to stop the spread of the virus. The countys Task Force Made up of the Health Department the Sheriffs Office and the department of conservation will be responding to complaints about businesses and individuals not following the rules. Time now is 5 07 educators in Santa Clara County are scrambling again with how to deal with school now like most Barren CountySanta Clara County is back in the most restrictive purple tier with kron fours dan kerman reporting from san jose about half of the San Jose Unified School districts 28,000 students. To begin returning for in Person Learning on january 5th. But a surge in covid19 cases has dropped Santa Clara County. 2 spots from the orange here to the purple tier meaning in Person Learning could be delayed. We will be ready as soon as we are able to open a says the counties in the orange or yellow. Whether thats going to be in january or not is anyones guess i would say right and i know that super frustrating for families because i its its one of the most difficult things about being a parent right now is not knowing what you need child care or your kids are going to be school or whats going to happen the districts decision to wait until they return to the orange or yellow tier is more restrictive than state guidelines which allow schools to open. Once theyre in the red tier for 2 weeks. But the Teachers Union supports this more conservative stance, especially with anxiety increasing among members about returning too soon. Nobody wants to get back in the more than more than but we also dont want a situation where we where were just in this endless cycle of opening and closing schools. But if we open schools and then you know the virus comes in and we have to start closing classrooms, closing schools. Because of its going to be even more disruptive them them what we potentially could have. Today still the district is moving forward dealing with logistics and workflow so once the county returns to the orange or yellow tier schools can reopen safely. So what were having to look at is the students that want to be in percent we have to look at their schedules and make sure that we dont exceed that 50 capacity in the classroom during a given period so theres a lot of looking at scheduling and how all of that is going to work and interestingly enough the San Jose Unified School district just surveyed parents to find out who wants to come back for in Person Learning the result just 40 want to come back into the classroom. Dan kerman kron 4 news. Its 5 09 and happening today a new set of workplace regulations is going to be decided the california Occupational Safety and Health Administration cal osha. They are set to vote on a sweeping new proposal guidance has been in place since the beginning of the pandemic but that these stronger standards would give officials more tools to enforce the rules what this should to do is it does expand their authority. And it does not allow an employer to play games with that inspector comes. New standards would mandate and enforce social distancing and wearing a face coverings in the workplace require employers to identify and notify all workers who may have been exposed to a covid case within one business day they have to tell the employees the new rules would also require companies to provide free testing to all employees who may have been exposed and require them to keep records on all cases so they can easily do Contact Tracing if the regulations are passed they could go into effect in early december. 5. 10 is the time still ahead on the kron 4 morning news, how Grocery Stores around the bay area are working to prevent yet another round of panic buying we dont want to see that plus new data shows thousands of people are moving out of one bay area city well tell you why they say have little reason to stay.

Thank you very much sara. Health officials are cautioning against visiting with your family for thanksgiving. Theyre afraid that a big celebration will be trouble and maybe a super spreading events according to an employment attorney if your employer told you not to travel. That means you should not gather for thanksgiving. The lawyer says california is in at will employment state which means that your employer could fire you for any reason or no reason at all and without warning as long as the reason is not illegal. But there are some exceptions. In contrast to the situation where you take time off to mom and dad who have contracted covid19. This is going care for them. I all orange employees its a kind of form writes. But odds are thats not what wer
