Reporter well, as you guys can imagine, neither of them are any good. But if you have to choose, you want a furlough. And theres a lot of reasons for that. Macys is just one of Many Companies that have furloughed workers. Marriott is furloughing tens of thousands of emmoyees. Many airlines have done the same. The good news, furloughed workers will have a job when they shut down. Thats not the case if youre laid off. Those furloughed are also free to seek a new permanent job or a temporary job unless the employer prohibits outside work. Furloughed workers are also eligible for unemployment insurance. If you have lost your job or your hours are reduced through no fault of your own, and thats happening with a lot of people in this situation, you could be eligible for benefits. Reporter furloughed workers retain any benefits they have. And cant be asked to work, like answering emails or taking phone calls while furloughed. These workers must be paid for time worked. Salary employee s are a full days pay. A lot of people dont know this, but just because you yo are furloughed doesnt mean you will stay on furlough.

Now your health, your safety. This is abc7 news. Weve now entered week three of the bay area shelter in place order. It seems by now were getting the hang of it. New data released shows the bay area is overall doing a very good job abiding by the social distancing orders. Our anchor joins us to break it down for us. Liz . Reporter ama, the data tracks data from our cell phones to track our movements, and you can see how movements have shifted. Here in the bay area, we have changed our movements drastically. So that means we are following the social distancing orders. The question is, is it working . County by county in the bay area, new data shows were overall doing a good job social distancing. The data, released to abc news, measures how many miles the typical individuals cell phone ventured from its starting point three weeks ago and shows how its changed in the weeks since. Lets stake San Francisco. March 9, the typical resident moved 1. 9 miles from their home. The next week, the typical resident moved 1 mile from their home. And march 23rd, residents moved just a few feet from their home. Thats a 99 reduction in movement over two weeks. Alameda, contra costa and santa clara counties all have similar numbers. In Sonoma County have lower numbers, with 72 and 78 reductions in movement. But even if were doing a good job keeping our distance, is it working . We asked our special correspondent. Dr. Pa tell, is there any indication that were flattening the curve . Its really hard to say right now if were flattening the curve. The really good news is, we havent seen quite the surge in the bay area we have seen in other parts of the country. Reporter the bay area was the first region to order a shelter in place, and that could make a difference. I dont see how anyone cant say it makes a difference. And that has to have some type of correlation in the amount of cases we have seen or are going to see. Reporter and here at the marina in San Francisco is a good example of how things have shifted over the past week. I remember driving by here a week ago, this park was open, people were here playing. Now its blocked off. This parking lot is also now blocked off. People are out here walking, running, but trying to keep their social distance. Give yourself a pat on the back, were doing a good job, but we have to keep doing it. Thank you. Social distancing and the shelter in place will continue as we mentioned at the top of the news cast for another month. Our inside is here with a look ahead here. What does this mean for the city and businesses that were extending this through may 1st . And ive seen in other communities, some people are getting citation it is they violate the orders. Do you anticipate that in the bay area . The idea is to educate not cite. And thats what were seeing. In the past weekend, we did a fretty good job. Now, the price and sheriff departments i talked to say they want it to stay that way, because even if they did start arresting people, do they have rooms in the jail . No. They are already releasing prisoners because of concerns about health in the jail. So its up to us. Its also interesting when this order came out, you could hear almost a collective grown throughout the bay area, because its tough. Its tough economically. Its tough mentally. And i called the Mayors Office in San Francisco and said look, you Just Announced four more weeks of a lot of peoples lives going into limbo or being under the stress of having to home school their children while trying to get their work done if they have work to do. They said i know. The problem is i said what are you going to do . They said we dont know yet. Its one of the domino effects were experiencing. Right now, officials are so keyed on the physical aspects and trying to get the bay area hospitals, with enough room, supplies and staff to handle that, as well as popup hospitals and medical facilities and testing around, that they havent concentrated on the effect this is having on peoples everyday lives and how were going to handle it for a couple of weeks. No question youve got to deal with the virus first. People are starting to go stir crazy and look at another month of this. Its only going to be more stressful as we go forward. One thing we havent talked about a lot or havent focused on much is the homeless situation, because just in San Francisco, you have about 10,000. If the virus starts to get into that population, this really goes off the rails quickly. Again, that is another theyre trying to deal with that, but im going to be honest with you, this is tougher than weve seen before. Its trying to move mountains instantly and change the course of a battleship. In San Francisco, they said look, we have to start changing the way we handle homelessness. Were going to allow tents back on the streets. This is after years of trying to get them off. Why . Because theres not enough room in the shelters for the safe distancing to prevent the transmission of the disease. So what were seeing in San Francisco is tents pop up like mshrooms in the downtown. Just look at the camera shot right there. People are getting together. Its human nature. In times like this, we affect like humans and want to get together. Its tough in disasters when we have had fires and floods, weve congregated. The cities and counties are having a tough time with that. Theyre looking at shelters for people like this tent you see here. Looking at the mosconi center. What are they going to be using it for . While theyre dealing with these ancillary things, talking with the professionals, theyre dealing with mundane things that they never thought would come up. Good example. Today in San Francisco, one of the concerns is, while they might be out there wondering about homelessness, how do we get enough tests to find out where we stand . When we get the tests, how are we going to do it. Were getting the tests, but we are having a shortage of swabs, we cant get enough of them to do the hundreds of thousands of tests theyll be needing statewide. Its a crisis. So when youre concentrating on how to get something as simple as this, getting them to the hospital and test sites and trying to deal with everything else, its a lot at one time and theyre only going to take one problem at a time at this time. Yeah, a lot of fires to put out here and not enough water. We have about a pin nut left. I was going to ask you, how are the police dealing with this . They have a lot more to worry about. If youre an officer called to the scene of whatever, normally you would jump in and do whatever you have to do. Now youre thinking, well, can i keep a distance and still get this done . Its not just police, its firefighters, paramedics and a whole host of people. And what they are talking about at city hall, and theyre going to be startingmental Health Programs for them, as well as the bulls drivers. Part of this is getting people safe and feeling safe enough to keep going in and do the jobs that need to be done for the next four weeks. Thats a priority. Im afraid that you and i, were not necessarily on the top of that list at this moment. Nor should we be, because theres a lot more important things to worry about. The first thing after your report, finding more cotton swabs and quftips. Thank you, phil. The San Francisco chronicle insider. Read his column in the newspaper wednesday and sundays. Crowded Grocery Stores. Theres one possible solution to keep social distancing in practice while shopping. And the east bay restaurant doing more than just deliver we find a way through it.

Its hard when we started getting bogged down with all the information. A Grocery Store chain in new jersey is adding new Safety Measures to keep customers and employee s safe. Stores have added plexiglas dividers between macashiers and customers and implementing oneway aisles to improve traffic flow. The aisles of the shop right stores are marked with tape to keep customers six feet apart. Does it seem to be working for them in people cant even drive. Now theyre going to have to do this in the supermarkets . And its going to be one long line snaking through the aisles. I was at a safeway when they were installing those plexiglas barricades. Its a great idea, because we were passing each other in probably closer proximity than we should. But probably not a bad idea to do that. Very good idea. Some people have a difficult enough time driving. Lets hope this works out. Our wonderful producer made me aware of somebody coming up with the idea of recycling toilet paper.
