It will take a tremendous amount of time and we need you to return to your Home Communities and get the resources there.

Are they in our system and have San Francisco roots and where are they located . This is similar and we know where people are experiencing homelessness and know where its increasing. Its increasing in the bayview, and increasing in the tenderloin and hence our focus on the tenderloin to move people from that community who have been unsheltered in that community historically into hotel rooms and we will be looking at impacted neighbors across the city with the same lense.

Next we will have supervisor safai to share an update from the Emergency Operation center. Supervisor safai, are you here . Supervisor safai yes, i am. President yee all right. Floor is yours. Supervisor safai thank you, president yee, and thank you, colleagues, for allowing me to give this update. Today ill provide updates to the board as the board liaison who worked with supervisor fewer last week at the Emergency Operations center. Tim holt from my staff and i had the honor to be there with supervisor fewer and her team. And as you all know shes been stationed there for the past three weeks. Along with her entire staff. To start off, the citys priorities have not changed. We have been moving vulnerable population into alternative housing sites, scaling up those sites through a bidding process with hotels. And continuing to create and scale up our Food Security programs accessible to the 311, and containing the spread of the virus the best we can. The data dashboard available on d. P. H. s website is updaded to provide new metrics for all ofous a daily basis. As of today, San Francisco has 1,458 confirmed cases, and 23 confirmed deaths. As of this morning, 29 individuals are in i. C. U. And 58 are in acute care. And yesterday mayor breed announced her plans to extend the stayathome order to the end of may, as many of you know. I know this has been a hard time for so many of our families and individuals living in the city and our numbers show how well the city and the bay area are responding to this crisis compared to other major cities in the u. S. And around the world. So we have to continue to stay strong and continue to show resolve. Thank you to everyone out there listening today for your patience, your endurance and all of the hard work that its taking to continue to keep our numbers low in this trying time. Since last tuesday, weve moved 54 First Responders and 132 vulnerable individuals into hotel rooms and we have a total of 2 excuse me, 2,156 rooms available. And 1,130 that are unoccupied. And we continue to scale up our capacity for our vulnerable population to be housed as safely and quickly as possible. They will now provide covid19 testing for all nonsector and nonprofit employees in San Francisco. And any San Francisco resident who cannot access test category go. As of today were also doing mass testing at Skilled Nursing facilities in the city. The city launched a Pilot Partnership with the Salvation Army to make and to deliver meals to people experiencing homelessness and those living in encampments. The goal of this program is to provide food to the unsheltered community and minimize covid19 exposure. Through the program the Salvation Army will make and deliver more than 1,300 meals daily to about 365 People Living in unsheltered or encampments across 40 locations in the city. In addition to the meals the Salvation Army will distribute hygiene materials and dog food for those with animals. The city also launched another partnership with the Salvation Army to make and deliver meals sorry lastly, this past week mayor breed and sfmta director jeff temlin announced the program that many of you are aware of, slow streets, to limit the through traffic on selected areas of the city. Slow streets is to give walking and biking for essential trips while still allowing the local vehicle traffic. People walking or running will be allowed to be in the street as permited by california law. Implementation will occur in phases and will be based on the streets that could supplement the reduced or suspended routes with improved bicycle access to essential services. As of today a portion of j. F. K. Drive in Golden Gate Park and the drive in mcclaren park is closed to vehicles 24 hours a day throughout the duration of the stayathome order. Like all of my colleagues before me, i want to offer sincere gratitude to the thousands of disaster workers and Service Workers staffing the e. O. C. , the Emergency Operation center, the hotels and to deliver groceries and the outreach teams passing out personal protective equipment and safety signs all over the city. And the numerous tasks to mobilize every resource that our city has at its disposal to contain the spread of this virus and to minimize the loss of life. While those of us working from home and at the e. O. C. Are able to maintain relative comfort and safety, many essential employees do not have that privilege. We thank you for stepping up and for helping to make our city safe. Finally, i look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues on the board and the staff in the e. O. C. To ensure that all urgent needs are met for the duration of this crisis. Thank you, supervisor fewer and her team and supervisor mar and alan wong for being present there this week. Thank you, mr.
