And there are now more than 28,000 confirmed cases across california. Now today during his daily briefing, gov.

We will bring together californians from the public and private sectors and from communities across our state. We will develop a plan that works for all californians with a particular focus on those hardest hit by the pandemic. Let me say, we will have brought together some of the best minds as gavin said, in the state, to develop a recovery plan. The Advisory Panel will be composed of more than 70 members, including former fed chair janet yellen. Disney chairman bob eicher, and apple ceo tim cook. As the bay area looks for the day when more businesses reopen, several counties are now asking people to wear Face Coverings while out in public. So far, alameda, contra costa, marin, San Francisco and Sonoma County are issuing this requirement, and the enforcement does not start until next wednesday to get people time to get ready. Dr. Matt willis, who just recovered from covid19, said masks can reduce the spread of the virus. This order will require facial coverings for public settings, we are coming into contact with people within 6 feet who we dont live with, particularly indoors. Children under the age of six are exempt, we dont need to wear it when we are alone indoors, with those that we live with, or out by ourselves on a walk. This is what it looks like at a safeway in petaluma this morning. The city of fremont has already ordered people to wear a Face Covering while visiting an essential business such as the grocery store. Those federal guidelines put out by President Trump just yesterday about leaving states to reopen their economies, well, it is finding both fans and critics today. As Caroline Shively tells us, some governors to say it gives them the autonomy that they want while others say it leaves out the money that they need. Reporter a day after rolling out federal guidelines that give the states responsibility to reopen the nation, President Trump took to twitter to rip into some democratic governors who have criticized his handling of the coronavirus. That includes minnesotas governor, who had protesters at the capital friday, calling for an end to what they call a state lockdown. Mr. Trump also went after michigans governor, even though she says she is considering relaxing some of the states stayathome measures come may 1. It is two weeks away, and the information and the data and our ability to test is changing so rapidly, it is hard to tell you precisely where we will be in a week much less two weeks. In mecca the Democratic Senators are criticizing the president. Is there any funding so i can do these things that you want us to do . No. That is passing the buck without passing the box. Reporter but iowas republican governor says the administration recognizes that each state has different economic and medical needs. The plan that we are already discussing for iowa really does align very well with what the president s plan is so theres a lot of similarities that we all have been looking at as we talk about targeting and responsibly reopening our state. Reporter the federal plan does not list days or for a partial reopen. Others are looking at me first, others at june. Without testing, most governors will not commit to a specific timeline. For more on reopening the country, and particularly the struggle of reopening large venues, we are joined now by lieut. Cowell. It is real good to get you on here and get your perspective, so if we do have states where we are starting to see that downward trajectory of coronavirus cases over the course of a couple of weeks, doesnt make sense to you to start to reopen restaurants, movie theaters, music venues, even larger stadiums . There will be some opening, and it is going to happen. There are states, for example, Southern Nevada with las vegas, pretty much the entire economy is completely shut down. You get states like hawaii, theyre kind of a unique situation, i was a nobody will drive across the border into hawaii. But they also are shut down, so they need to reopen. With that, it is the same thing you keep hearing from the white house, you have to have, you know, universal testing, we have to find out who has antibodies, we have to find out if they have the active virus. Contact tracing needs to be improved tremendously. That is another thing that they will be looking at. Can we quickly identify who they were in contact with and isolate them . All of this is about controlling, containing the spread of the virus and if we can get a handle on that, if we can manage that, with the additional social distancing roles, we can get to a new normal. It wont look the same as it was, and we dont have a vaccine, so that is, that will be the new normal until a vaccine is developed. So once we begin to reopen, some of these businesses, some of these venues, that are larger in terms of their size, what, what are some of the practices, what im asking is what are the rules, how will it feel different when you show up at one of these businesses in the future . If you are looking at a sports venue, for example, you probably going to see some of the things that we saw, before they shut down churches, you saw a lot of times with a marked out certain seats. You are basically looking for that 3 to 6 feet, trying to build some distance between where everybody sits and somebody else. You also going to probably see universal wearing of masks, that will be a little challenging at times because a lot of times when you go to a big venue or sports event, it is not uncommon to get something to eat, to drink, how that will be managed, especially distant areas, that will be a question but you cannot see pakistans like we are used to seeing. You will see, you may see people in the stands but it will be much more spread out. In fact, most big events will be more of an online for suspicion been participation thing. Let me ask you about this notion of false start here. I wondered how concerned you are about this idea that we reopen the economy, but then all of a sudden we see a big surge in cases, and then you kind of have to shut things down once again. Is that a real concern for you . That is a big concern. I have been talking to a number of my clients and we have been talking about, you know, the reopening and planning for the reopening, and one of the things we look at is the false start which is the big fear that we open, and there certainly a huge resurgence, a cluster outbreak, and not only does that force us back into closing, doing exactly what we did before, but now, you truly have shaken public confidence. It is not just come you know, we have a problem or we are managing it, the question they will have is do we really know what we are doing . Because to open it and have another outbreak, that kind of brings and questions in peoples mind, is it really safe . And then the next time you open, people might be reticent to really take advantage of it because they are saying should i or shouldnt i because the last time they did this. It is probably just as big as the actual outbreak itself. Rebuilding that trust is certainly not going to be easy. That is a great point. Thank you for your insight. Coming up, paying tribute to healthcare workers, the growing trend that is keeping of those were bravely on the front lines. Tracking down on public for 20 celebrations, the warning from police and lawmakers in San Francisco, up next.

Officials are reinforcing the message that there will be no public celebration of marijuana coming up on 420. Christien kafton is live for us this afternoon in the city where the pandemic has forced the cancellation and also force the annual pot party to make some changes. Reporter looks like the party will have to be on hold in San Francisco this year, but interesting Industry Leaders are hoping to move the party online. In years past, for 20 has done thousands of cannabis fans to hippie hill in Golden Gate Park. This year the city is warning that in light of the Public Health directives, a public for 20 celebration is officially canceled. Stay home for 420, dont come to San Francisco, we are not welcoming any large gatherings of any nature, not just during 420, but any other time. Reporter police say fencing will surround hippie hill and officers will be on scene, ready to site and arrest, if necessary. You will see officers in the parks, streets closed, you will see us out with the area fenced off and we want to remind people, please, do not engage in for 20 festivities. I have the tappan one time to say reporter e 40 takes to twitter, sing public celebrations, make no sense this year. Lets stay in the house, man. We love for 20 but lets not get out there and all that. City is their top priority, they are urging users to create Real Community in the Virtual World to celebrate this year. We are not giving up on 420 but we are suggesting that people do for 20 in place and have a nice time at home. We are highly encouraging people to stay home, order online for pickup or preorder and delivery. Reporter police say they will be working with rec and parks and the city to make sure that they dont just pick up and try to move that party somewhere else. They say this year the stakes are simply too high, so that people get high with each other. Live in San Francisco, christien kafton, ktvu fox 2 fox 2 news. Lets talk about whether here in the bay area, and rosemary, you know, at my house, the son did not make an appearance today, are we going to get some more sunshine coming up for the weekend . We are going to kind to remain in this pattern, alex.

If we get in a little bit closer you can see if you scattered showers, the possibility over areas of the north bay, the Richmond San Raphael berridge, and stretching over to the east bay, if you light sprinkles in and around richmond and hercules and all of our small communities there. Into the sierra we go, a little bit of a rain and snow mix over areas along highway 50 and i 80, right around twin bridges. No advisory for travel but always a good idea to carry them just in case. Snow levels are expected to remain high enough, not to impact those passes but here is a look at the system that is bringing us the unsettled weather, not only for today but into the weekend, we get another shot, here is a look at the future cast for you tomorrow morning, perhaps a bit of drizzle out there and as we get into the afternoon we break away to partly cloudy conditions but Cool Conditions for this time of year.
