For coronavirus. Theyve been sharing their uncertainty and struggle with us since maria gomez was first tested. Now we go along on their powerful journey to beat the virus. Multimedia producer juan carlos tells the story. I want the results. I want to get out. A weekend with a rollercoaster of emotions. On friday my wife got a text message from her doctor suggesting the test results could be delayed. That caused her to break down. Ive been in my room since last friday. And if im negative, ive been in my room in vain. Reporter i asked my brother to go. My brother got to san diego sunday morning. My daughters loaded up their things and they drove back. While they were on the road, we got a call about the test results. You have now tested positive. What do you want me to say . Is that good or bad news . Weve been debating this all weekend. Weve been home for so long. We might as well just be positive and move on and be out of here in another week. Yeah, be its good because we already have the illness or the virus. Were not bad. You are asymptomatic. My symptoms were pretty much mild. After the reality sank in, we started notifying people. My wife called her mom. [ speaking Foreign Language ] they suggest that mom not come here for a total of three weeks so two more weeks. Oh, no. I called my daughters who were barely past los angeles. Leticia got a call from the doctor this morning, test results. She has covid19. No. Does that mean you have it too . They cant tell and theyre not going to test me. We spent the rest of the day notifying friends, family, and coworkers. The doctor just called me back about half an hour ago and i tested positive, which means that you and the boys were exposed to me. You should selfisolate for two weeks. At least now we know my wifes symptoms were mild and that her quarantine will end this friday. We wish them so much luck as they continue sharing their very personal story. Well, a little over an hour ago we heard from governor gavin newsom and he was clearly upset and frustrated with the crowds that he saw over the weekend. Thats why he has ordered all state parking lots to shut down. He says this is one way to stop people from flocking to our beaches and parks. We saw a lot of visitors in marin county this weekend. Belinas residents tried to block the roadway and told people to stay home. They are working to get hundreds of millions of items. We have formally scoped the capacity to go across the country and even the world to scope out. And im going to be literal in these numbers, 1 billion gloves to procure. 500 million n95 masks. Some 200 million shields. You get the picture. 100 million is also being distributed to cities and counties so they can set up emergency shelters at hotels and motels. The governor added an emergency medical station promised by President Trump has arrived in Santa Clara County. In the east bay people waited in line to get tested as the bay areas first free dropin coronavirus testing site opened. Its in hayward at fire station number 7. It sounds like things were changing the last time we spoke with you. Reporter yes. Things did evolve throughout the day. Lets show you whats happening right now. Behind me they are actually closing this Testing Center for the evening. You can see the Health Care Workers, Fire Department folks who have been out here all day doing this tough work. They are wrapping things up for today. This is an evolving situation. And officials here acknowledged a short time ago that maybe the guidelines put in place earlier in the day needed to be broadened. Because as of 4 00 p. M. They had done less than half of the 370 tests they had allotted for each day. So now rather than requiring a fever of 100 or greater, they are looking at certain lists of criteria. Lets hear from captain don nicholson. I think the frustration lies in a lot of people getting turned away. They show up without symptoms, and they dont meet the criteria, they get turned away. Well, i want to announce now what the criteria is. And im going to read this. So pardon me for it. But if you have shortness of breath or respiratory problems, if youve traveled to europe or asia recently, youve been exposed to the virus, either confirmed or suspected, youre over the age of 65, you have chronic disease like blood disorders, kidney disease, compromised immune system, current, recent pregnancy, neurological disease, Heart Disease or are currently homeless. Should everybody turn around and come back . No. Thats not the case. I think a lot of people, even if they were frustrated, they did get some reassurance knowing that i was checked out, i was screened. I didnt really meet all the criteria. Maybe i can go home, selfisolate. And heres a live look again. Theyre just wrapping up the operations here. They will be back at it starting the plan is to run this testing site from 9 00 a. M. To 6 00 p. M. Seven days a week for the next 21 days. And as you heard the captain say, they are broadening the criteria. You dont have to have a fever of 100 or greater to get tested. That was the criteria earlier in the day, and they were turning most of the folks away. Im told just within the past few minutes they did 192 tests today out of 705 people that were screened. The capacity each day is 370. So im not a math major, but i am told that they will fold those extra tests into the coming days so they will not get wasted. Live in hayward, laura anthony, abc7 news.
