In fact, heres a live look at the toll plaza where traffic is nice and smooth 8 minutes to make it to the north bay.

Well check out the bay bridge 80 west coming up next back to you, thanks a lot. Were monitoring the roads and the skies because its typically a huge travel day the day before thanksgiving we have seen empty airports. I personally well my daughter has seen jfk was a ghost town and then she arrived at sfo which was also so quiet last night, but if you look at the entire system we are expecting thousands of people yes to be on these flights heading. To parts farflung to visit family and friends. Hopefully we keep that number at a minimum a lot of people are planning on taking covid tests before they go just try and get that piece of my however it has a fall got to tell you. Theyre all out. Yeah oh yeah, you needed to have planned ahead for that Sarah Stinson joins us live right now with whats going on good morning sara. Good morning. I went into one of the terminals here in the domestic terminals and i saw that theres quite a few people but it was still very ghostlike like daria explained but sure daughter saw last night still the security lines very empty people are respecting social distancing. I saw that those good news, but still number of people heading into the airport. Sfo expects one 0. 2 Million People to fly through here from last week last friday until december 1st so thats quite a lot of people heading out for the holidays on this thanksgiving were 24 hours out so right now. Were seeing a lot of last minute travelers heading out for the thanksgiving and talk to one man going to seattle talk to another guy going to atlanta all to see family and people saying you know its a scary times, but they want to fly anyway for the holidays, people are very prepared the ring mass some people are wearing gloves as their Hand Sanitizer is also Hand Sanitizer scattered across the airport. So thats good. But is that enough when the airport get specter what about when the airplane gets packed because we know a lot of the airlines. All are filling up the seats and some even selling them up before they said they were going to not keeping that middle seat open as a foot sfo doing a lot to try and keep people safe with markers telling people where to stand so that they can keep the proper distance between each other. Theres plexiglas at counters Hand Sanitizer i talked to people about traveling one man and i asked you know is this worth it checked in with him i want to see how people feel lets take a listen. To travel for this thanksgiving. Maybe yeah, reasons you have to see people to. Yeah, i mean. It bring contact and. Mask and social distance, best and. It will put on the spot we left afterwards disease like this is probably not ours it and i feel kind of bad but he said he needed to go visit family for the holidays. The tow lot of people are feeling even though you know cdc Public Health officials all saying do not do it. I have us a lot of people many though saying im going to stay put im not going to travel this year. Now as a foe says so many people are traveling know that they ran out they sold out of covid tests so that is something to note you cannot get a day of tests here a full right now theyre sold out there is an alternative at United Maintenance center. But thats not a rapid test their results could come back within 48 hours so. If youre trying to get home for the holidays. Thats not going to be your best bet.

The number of tests coming back positive in the last 4 weeks has increased by 265 San FranciscoHealth Director doctor grant colfax says the city surge of covid19 cases is continuing unabated hospitalizations are also mounting doubling since the end of october with more than 50 people now hospitalized. The choices we make this week will determine the remainder what the remainder of the Holiday Season but looks like colfax says that means a winter of hospitalizations and death or reverse of the search. He says its up to those that live here stay home to celebrate, thanksgiving. But there people that we already with us. Please do not gather with people from other hospitals, especially indoors. Well, San Francisco has so far avoided being moved from the red reopening tear to the most restrictive purple tier colfax says were so close that will likely happen before the end of the week. Well what we can again question is this are curve but we do expect on their last to be in relatively said on a brighter note. Colfax says the city has purchased 3 ultracold freezers to store hundreds of thousands of doses of the covid19 vaccine once its ready for distribution. If San Francisco does move from the red to the purple tier later this week it will mean that curfew that other counties are experiencing. Will impact San Francisco as well in addition to that indoor museums of Fitness Centers will have to close and Retail Stores will see their capacity cut back to just 25 . In San Francisco.
