I started noticing yesterday that we have a lot of folks out. On vacation out of town they were not on the roads we had a little bit of a backup. But it was not the norm right now were looking pretty good on 80 into San Francisco, heres a live look at the toll plaza traffic is zipping right on through the pay gates, an easy trip across the upper deck, so 7 minutes quick right right on time to fremont street, heres 92 westbound traffic, the tail lights are heading to the peninsula.

I think for cross needing a lot 100 i cant they are long very long. Thank all right, lets get to our top story this morning, it comes out of the north bay we have Solano County now seeing the highest number of reported covid19 cases since the beginning of the outbreak local doctors are afraid the numbers are going to get worse as we head to thanksgiving and the holidays cover Sarah Stinson is in Solano County now with the details good morning sara. Now the problem was how we Health Officials here in Solano County say they. Expect that theres parties of 20 to 30 people in halloween and thats what spread the coronavirus like crazy as you said theyve seen more cases recently than they did back when the pandemic first started so now is the time not loosen up in his time to crack down and i know that giving something up but its not worth it to get together with your family, the big concern right now is spreading it to your older relatives the county Health Officer says that the previous peak in Solano County was in mid july was 100 cases reported in the day and this past week theres more than 100 cases per day though the number of hospitalizations has also tripled from 20 to over 60 now the concern again is that people will gather on thanksgiving like they did on halloween but this time. With people of all generations which puts the older family members at a higher risk. With with the winter holidays, were talking about getting together elderly people in our in our families as well and they are far greater risk of that outcome differences that thanksgiving is a multi generational event and so its not going to just be younger people are going to see people of all ages which means that are the risks for deaths will be much higher. Thats not something you want to see with your family you have to protect your family as much as you can in the Health Officer also said theres a lot of things you can do to keep your family safe if you are gathering with say you know to your close relatives or maybe even all live together you still do things to keep everybody safe wear a mask keep 6 feet of distance dont do the usual hugs and kisses in try this by the pie share this sip of the street that is are all things you can avoid to keep everybody safe but the main thing is dont gather on thanksgiving if you can avoid it. Tri pointe all costs for now reporting live in Solano County Sarah Stinson kron 4 news thats the advisory. Thank you very much sara. I mean you dated to about infections statewide young adult account for more than half. Of new coronavirus cases in california governor, newsome announcing people ages 18 to 49. All responsible now for 60 they account for 60 of new cases in the state in an effort to curb the spread the governor mandated or curfew as you know from 10 00pm to 05 00am and thats for any county that is in the purple tier, San Francisco marin and san mateo were the only counties in the bay area right now that are not in that tier state Health Officials say more counties, however, might end up in the purple in the next few weeks or destoryed days. People that we spoke to theyre hoping that others just follow the guidelines. I actually it seems like. This might be the people that are going out a little bit more and acting a little bit riskier. Really scary out there right now so its hard. Its hard to tell anyone what to do right now, but you can only you know take care of yourself, lets put our heads on right. And think about it and let us get out of this were almost there were right at the summit hopefully you know, lets just lets just make it happen now. Governor newsome as you heard everybody say every expert on the planet is saying dont travel if you dont have to on thanksgiving for the holiday. Dont gather in large groups and remember if you are going to do something and see somebody and youre leaving the state they recommend and urge you to quarantine for 14 days when you get back home. Lets take a look at the numbers now of our cases you can see that california has well over 1 million 100 thousand 33 cases now. And the deaths are nearing 19,000 in the bay area. We are nearing 2000 deaths for covid. Well daryn mentioned the governor moment ago so lets give you an update on him and the first family as we the governor is still and the family still in quarantine this morning after his children, were exposed to a chp officer with covid19 now the chp provide security for the governors family thats why they were in such close contact. At point no one in the family has tested positive literally in terms of my own experience just over the course last couple days that said i did respect for people they dont have the support of people that are in my position that dont have the resources of people in my position and those that are struggling. And the quarantine also comes after one of his children was exposed to a classmate who tested positive. The governor is expected to be tested regularly in the days ahead. A cheaper and faster test for covid could soon be used in the bay area kron fours dan kerman has the details. Those getting tested the top the 24th and mission bart station this week are getting 2 types of covid tests the more complex unreliable pcr test and the quicker cheaper by next rapid test it 2 ways to detect infection. One is to look the genetic material. Of the virus. And the others to look for proteins over the virus. The coach of the virus. The infrastructure of the virus while the protein rapid test was previously believed to be less reliable. A small, ucsf study conducted during similar testing back in september found they were accurate in 14 out of 15 people who are infected what theyre saying is on a one time. Basis they were able to detect. 14 out of 15 specimens that were that were positive by the more standard. Method thats a substantial advance which i dont think anybody. Well it was was predicting. Ucsf Infectious Disease for allah just doctor George Rutherford says because the protein tests are so much cheaper and the results can be determined so much quicker. It could really make a difference in slowing the spread of covid19 we want to find people who are the most infectious we want to get them isolated. As quickly as possible. The fact that this is far less expensive than the standard genetic tests. And that its didnt get results back. Too much more quickly typically. I think brings it as a sort of an added added tool. Now doctor rutherford was not part of the ucsf study but he says hes encouraged by it. Though he agrees additional testing will have to be done to determine just how robust this testing method is a ucsf dan kerman kron 4 news. Well still ahead on the kron 00 00am morning news, new details on the deadly stabbing at a San Jose Church were getting a clearer picture of the attacker. But theyre still trying to find out why it happened. Plus for the first time in San Francisco police history, a former officer has now been charged in a deadly shooting more on that to come and after the break.

Not really looking at much of it in the forecast yeah tomorrow morning see a couple of flurries, but its not going to add to too terribly much i think overall thats good you know people are going to want to be thanksgiving outside if possible if youre with relatives and and as we saw just a second ago, its still cold enough that snowmaking is possible on all the slopes right so if Mother Nature cant do it at least have snow makers so you get the good travel weather you still get the fresh powder because its cold enough for artificial snow to be made. And yeah its a winwin situation for travelers up to lake tahoe on 80 this morning. Theres definite snow right there on the side of the road. But as you can see roadways are dry and thats something thats going to remain true as we work our way through the holiday we are looking at nice dry conditions through your thanksgiving thats going make for easy travel if you do happen to be doing that i know a lot less of us are going to be doing so this year. So maybe well just be enjoying some sunshine back here in the bay area which is something were going to be keeping around a quiet picture on radar all across not just the bay area, but the state you do see showers up in the Pacific Northwest now as we work our way through this forecast that low youre seeing behind me there is going to drop on into the bay area. This is going to result in a modest cool down temperatures fall just a few degrees starting tomorrow. But its not going to result in is in the showers for the bay. This is the line of showers along that cold front to 08 00pm tonight, its its west of the state of california as it drops into the state into early tomorrow morning. We do see some showers along the mendocino coast line possibly even the northern portions of sonoma county. Rain snow mix right along the oregon border thats going to cause you some issues as you head up by 5 early tomorrow morning. Look at what happens for the bay, though it all fizzles out by the time it reaches us, theres your chance of a few flurries as i mentioned for lake tahoe. Also really fizzling out right by the time it reaches tahoe when you head north tahoe, youll definitely see some more snowfall just not going to get much of a dose of it for to neighbors as least as compared to the snowfall that we had last week, wednesday afternoon a few showers remain up in Northern California bay area continues to remain dry as we will endure thanksgiving on thursday, your black friday after that and your post Holiday Weekend also looking nice and dry with sunshine staying with us 50s and 60s for your highs right along the coastline today, familiar territory.

Thank you very much robert 5. 18 is the time for the first time in San Francisco police history, an officer with ties to the department has been charged in connection to a deadly shooting, San Francisco District Attorney jason voting, filed manslaughter charges against former rookie officer christopher some iowa.
