Neighboring Mendocino County reports at least four confirmed cases. Lake county still unchanged. No one testing positive there so far. And we are plotting the case numbers on to a graph so we really can see the trend here. This trend includes data for 14 counties, the bay area and surrounding areas. As you can see, we are still on an upward curve. And this is our first day with a new extended shelter in place order. It took effect for much of the bay area at midnight and includes new restrictions like the closure of Tennis Courts. There was no one to be seen at these courts in berkeley. Droneview7 gives awes glimpse there. Many courts around town have been closed by the city following the new restrictions. But its more than just Tennis Courts that are now off limits. New at 6 00, abc7 News ReporterLauren Martinez is live in berkeley to explain. Lauren . Liz, the playground behind me is completely taped up to stop o t equi a lot of these new rules now in place are to prevent you from touching several surfaces and successfully social distance yourself from others. Its a beautiful spring day, but with rules. At the dog park in berkeley, instead of dogs barking, you can hear other sounds. The playgrounds at grove park are taped up, prohibiting children from playing. Dog park, playgrounds, picnic areas, Tennis Courts and basketball courts are just some of the places now closed to the public under the new and stricter bay area shelter in place orders. It was very important for me to work out. It helps my mind,spiritually, physically. You know, this is going to be tough on me as a basketball player. When it comes to a sport tha you can only play with members of your household. Not be in contact with people you know and people that you play with and all that type of thing is really tough on your mindset. Instead of dog parks, pet owners brought their Furry Friends out for a walk or to play. Daniel said he took 1yearold salty to the dog park every day. Weve been going, but also kind of knowing that we are way too close to people at the dog park. So i think its good to just be forced to not go. Heather williamson feels that parks help clear the mind. You know, little piece, little releases and go back in the container. She is not letting these new rules burst her bubble. Well, its the smartest thing to do is to close down, shut down. Distancing is the only thing thats going to stop covid. Now these rules also apply to pools, spas, and climbing walls. I do want the note that there is a baseball field behind me where a group just did a zumba class, but they appeared six feet apart. Reporting live in berkeley, Lauren Martinez, abc7 news. Thank you. With the updated shelterinplace order, essential businesses like Grocery Stores and takeout restaurants are being told to implement social distancing protocols while staying open. Abc7 News Reporter chris nguyen is live in the south bay with that story tonight. Chris . Hi, dan. The new shelterinplace order clearly defines what businesses have to do in order to remain open, with social distancing now mandatory. As the bay area shelters in place, essential businesses have basically become Community Gather points, a place for people to connect and converse. How theyre doing at home, how were doing here. And thats sometimes the only contact that some people have in an entire week. Much of the conversation is now about the new social distancing practices that businesses must display to stay open, including signs at each Public Entrance reminding people to stay away if theyre sick, and to maintain at least a other once inside. Hand sanitizer must also be provided to customers. At this market the protocol also includes the installation of safety guards to protect employees. We saw an immediate need. David payne designed the prototype only a week ago. As entrepreneurs and innovators, we just want to jump in and do what we can as quickly as we can and make things happen. Social distancing measures are already in effect at one of mountain views most popular restaurants. Businesses like la fiesta must limit the number of customers that can be inside at any given time. Theyre patient with us. I remember the first week we had to do only takeout. Things got a little backed up. But now theyve got it down to a science. Managers here quickly adapting to the changes. As far as sales, were not doing as we usually do. But ill take whatever i can get. And im very grateful for all my customers that are supporting us. Reporter back at zanottos, customers expressed their appreciation for those working on the front lines. Something may change for us, just our views of working at home and how we greet each other. I think we may see some social norms change when we get on the other side of all this. Employees now taking it all day by day, hoping to stay safe. Its very reassuring to me that were doing what we need to do to make sure that everyone stays safe that comes into our store. Businesses now have until the end of the week to come up with that social distancing protocol, if they havent done so already. Were live in the south bay tonight, im chris nguyen, abc7 news. Okay, chris, thank you. On midday live today, we asked you how much youve changed how you grocery shop. The most common response was everything. Combined, more than 40 voted for somewhat or a lot. 4 say they havent changed a thing. And a lot of people want to know about masks. Should you wear one . Can it help . Its something the states Public Health director addressed today. Take a listen. So there is some evidence that using face covers may reduce the asymptomatic infections, and also, it might signal to others that you need to keep a little bit of distance. It does also work through, quite simply, decreasing the amount of infectious particles that go into the air when we cough or we sneeze or we talk. Particularly when we speak closely to other people. But again, it doesnt replace the need for physical distancing. She didnt answer all of our questions, though. Abc7 News Reporter kate larsen is on the story. While the cdc considers shifting official guidelines on wearing masks, ordinary citizens are already taking matters into their own hands. By making their own face covers, with n 95 and surgical masks sold out and back ordered until at least may, social media feeds are becoming virtual sewing circles. The homemade masks are making their way to the front line fight against coronavirus. We are making a first distribution to Highland Hospital this week. They requested 600 masks from us. Were also partnering with kaiser. The executive director of my new red shoes, a nonprofit based in redwood city. Normally they distribute shoes to homeless and low income children. But in the midst of a pandemic, their volunteers are now sewing thousands of masks. Within a couple of days of when we launched our effort, we had hundreds of volunteers signed up across the bay area unfortunately, San Francisco, as with the rest of the region, as with the rest of the country has a severe, severe shortage of masks. Today dr. Colfax, San Franciscos director of Public Health said he issued recommendations for all Department Employees and First Responders to wear masks. Beginning this week they started a universal surgical mask policy. All visitors and faculty and staff must complete a training and then obtain a surgical mask. Were asking everyone to keep that mask that you receive as long as possible. As for the general public, local officials are still waiting on recommendations from the cdc. But people want protection while they wait, and not everyone knows how to sew. I found these do it yourself instructions for a mask online. It takes just a few minutes to fold a bandanna with two hair elastics to create a mask. Make sure when you do wear it you maintain your six feet of social distancing. Kate larsen, abc7 news. That is a good idea. And on abc7 news at 4 00, i interviewed dr. Alok patel. He is a member of our team of experts. Here is his response when asked whether homemade masks like that are better than nothing. Those are better than nothing, because remember, one of the mechanisms that this virus is going to travel is by respiratory droplets. Meaning youre going to cough up small respiratory blops. Little particle the virus can travel in. And its thought that a cloth mask could actually trap this. Here is the big thing. A mask at home is going to have two major factors. Filtration, meaning the material that you use, can it actually block things . And the fit. You have to be able to wear this mask all day long. And i stress that because what we want people to not do is theyre wearing a mask and constantly finlting with it or touching it and moving it around. You have telecommunication sure youre absolutely still, wash your hands, and those masks have to be cleaned. Because a dirty mask could be more dangerous than not wearing a mask at all. We know you a lot of questions about face masks. Youve been asking us for answers, so we have those online on our website, abc7news. Com. Youll find information about masks as well as the latest headlines about the pandemic. Meantime, the sound of 3d printers is growing across Silicon Valley as volunteers step up to produce badly needed face shields for hospital workers. Abc7 News Reporter david louie shows you how thousands of them are being produced after a call for help. Hospitals say theyre using up 15 sets of protective devices as each patient arrives with a suspected case of covid19. Valley Medical Center says it has received 1. 2 million donated items, but the one thing they need most are face shields to protect doctors, nurses and other staff as the sick cough or sneeze. That need has mobilized a small army of volunteers who own or have access to 3d printers. Maker nexus in sunnyvale has become face shield central. Currently we have about 300 people signed up that are volunteering to print for us. At first they use a design created in the czech republic, but that was designed and improved in collaboration with valley Medical Center. They were able to make some adjustments to it based on the feedback from our medical and our nursing and Infection Control staff. And on monday, they delivered the first 500 units. 3d printers here and across Silicon Valley are running around the clock to make the components. Everyone is donating time and absorbing the cost of steefrls, estimated to run 3 to 5 per shield. As they get up to speed, production is between 5,000 and one thousand a day. Area hospitals have asked for 13,000. Engineer bill huang says it it takes six hours to print two. Now it takes only four hours. Design improvements include a closed top to prevent droplets from getting into the eyes, and parts that come apart easily to allow frequent cleaning and sterilization. Ive looked at their product. Its excellent. Its an example of a Community Stepping up, giving of their time and resources and helping to protect front line workers risking their lives to p treat the sick. The plastic used for the face shields is in short supply, and that is causing prices to go up. David louie, abc7 news.

A santa rosa Police Officer became the first California Law enforcement officer to die of coronavirus. Detective marilou armer spent 20 years with the department. Wayne freedman has the story. Weve now reached the point in the pandemic where the solemn and dignified tradition of honoring a Fallen Police detective has become a cautious and restrained affair. This was santa rosa yesterday after the announcement that marilou armer had passed away from the coronavirus. And she was dedicated friend to everybody she met. And shell be sorely missed. Even the Police Press Conference today was held at longer than social distancing standards. They did it via videoconference. Quickly questions turned to how many other officers detective armer may have infected. Weve had nine positive tests. One of those is marilou. One of those has recovered. And we have seven additional ones in home isolation right now. As the stack of flowers grew outside police headquarters, we still do not kw orhenct artment death in the line of duty, with all the benefits that accompany it. She is californias first officer to died from covid19, but there have been other deaths elsewhere. To the best of my knowledge were running around 25 to 30 statewide. Brian marvel of the state research association. He wants officers to receive increased testing and appropriate safety gear for their work in the field. Well, i think if somebody was asymptomatic who had the virus and didnt know it, and they were continually coming in contact with their coworkers, with their family, with people in the community, how many people does that get to . The worst Case Scenario right now is new york city. There more than a thousand Police Officers have tested positive. Five have died. Now in santa rosa add Police Detective marilou armer, a wife and a mother to that saddest of role calls. In santa rosa, Wayne Freedman, abc7 news. And our hearts go out to her family and her Law Enforcement family. You can help support detective armers family. We have a link to a fundraiser as part of her story about her passing on our website. Just go to abc7news. Com. Anticipating a surge in covid19 cases in san mateo county, a 250 bed federal medical station has been set up, really almost overnight at the san mateo event center. It will be available to help caring for those sick with the virus and those who just need a bed. Our camera and abc7 News Reporter kris reyes were allowed inside. We set this up yesterday. We have about 30 personnel. Thinking type of setup becoming too familiar. Public and event spaces once reserved for gatherings and celebrations now makeshift hospitals. This is the fourth setup by the National Guard in california just this week. All of our airmen have made all of these beds to be prepared for when theyre needed. You are looking at 250 beds for possible covid19 cases that need care but not necessarily hospitalization. Empty now, but not if the surge that Public Health workers are so afraid of becomes reality. We hope that we never need this facility, but we want to be absolutely prepared. Because when that time comes and you need space you want to have it. This place has changed almost overnight for this neighborhood. Once home to the county fair, it is now a site for coronavirus testing. Covid19 case, and now hospital beds, changes that some residents at least on social media say theyre not always aware of or comfortable with. We have to make sure that we continue to be transparent, make sure that people know that what the event center is for is saving lives. San mateo county is only second to santa clara in the number of covid19 cases in the bay area. But unlike its Public Health officer dr. Sarah cody, dr. Scott murrow has not been as available to the media, sticking mostly to sending out letters to the community on their website. I cant tell the Health Officer what to do, but what i do is i make sure that were using social media, that were reaching out to the press, because people desire this information. Those who are managing this site agree. This media tour a way of being open with the public and also asking for their support. This is a different type of war for us, and that is our generations challenge. In san mateo, kris reyes for abc7 news. At the santa clara fairgrounds, dozens of cots and other supplies arrived today. The grounds are being turned into a makeshift shelter for the homeless. This will provide them with a space where they can practice social distancing. Were serving all Homeless Individuals who might not fall into the risk categories or vulnerable adults or those who are not able to get into some of the shelter because of the capacity, they had to lower the capacity. So those are individuals that were looking to serve here. This is designed as a temporary shelter. It will probably be open until the end of may. The shelter opens this friday. And its official. Public schools in california will be closed for the rest of the academic year. The state superintendent of public instruction says the decision was made out of an abundance of caution. We know that this is difficult. We know that is a challenge. But as it relates to the education of our kids, we have to rise to that challenge. To help Distance Learning efforts, google today announced it is providing 4,000 laptops to students. It is also supplying free wifi to 100,000 rural homes. The university of california says it will suspend admission testing requirements for students. So that is new. The pandemic has led to the cancellation of standardized testing nationwide. Well, just a spectacular day outside. We have a few more days of sunny weather, seasonal weather before light storm arrives. Spencer shows you what to expect. And you might want to be careful outside. A 5yearold girl was bitten by a coyote at dublin hills Regional Park this afternoon. Sky 7 was over that area. The park is just off interstate 580. The girl was taken to the hospital with nonlifethreatening injuri staying hwill without athe doubt, save lives. And, critical things like food, pharmacies, laundromats and more remain available.

The snow season will end today with a snowpack just 53 of normal. On average, the snowpack provides 30 of californias water needs. So it is absolutely critical.

Here is the accuweather sevenday forecast. After two mild, dry springlike day, tomorrow and friday, we get the rain over the weekend. As i said, it could be heavy at times, but brief downpours. Storm ranks only 1. We may get partial clearing on monday, but there could be a lingering shower early monday. And an unsettled pattern with bright skies on tuesday and wednesday. Just want to clean up a little goof i made yesterday as i was talking and posting about snow in the sierra. I made some offhand reference to spring skiing. Im certainly not encouraging people to go to the sierra or even to leave home at all. Sorry than reference. But the snow is much needed for the snowpack measures. Thank you nothing of it.

This as the nation struggles to gain control of a coronavirus case count that grows by the minute. Here are the headlines. There are 213,372 confirmed cases in our country. Thats according to Johns Hopkins data. Coronavirus deaths in the u. S. Grew by one thousand in just 24 hours and have more than quadrupled in one week. Another heartbreaking development. A 7weekold baby from harford has become the first infant coronavirus related death. Mike pence directed the cdc to review the science around protective masks and will have a recommendation on whether americans should start wearing tem. And a member of the White House CoronavirusTask Force Says a coronavirus Antibody Test could be available within the month. The test could help identify medical workers who were infected but never developed symptoms. In a day or two after development, they could screen their entire hospital. I think that would be very reassuring to the Health Care Workers who have been on the front line. We worry about them every day.

Well, it has been nearly a week since the giant federal stimulus package was signed into law, and questions are still pouring in about whos getting money and when. 7 on your sides Michael Finney is live with some of the answers tonight. Its an enormously complex package, michael. Im hearing from so many people that are worried that their government check will go to the wrong address. And when i look into what they have to say, they should be concerned. Jason asks, i had my tax refund deposited on to a debit card that is no longer open. What happens if they try to deposit my check into a closed account . Jason, youre right to be curbed.

Medic melanie asks ive moved. Will the ires mail my check to the wrong address . So far the irs has not set up a specific way to update your address.

Carol asks my adult daughter takes care of me and does odd jobs, but doesnt earn enough to file a tax return. Will she get any stimulus money . She is indeed entitled to a stimulus check, as long as no one else claims her as a comment. However, the irs has no special way to find these folks to send them their money.

Michael, thanks very much. We are getting a glimpse of the scope of the Financial Impact the coronavirus pandemic is having on San Francisco businesses. In a survey from the citys chamber of commerce, almost half of the businesses that responded say they have made staffing cuts. Another quarter plan to cut staff in the next few weeks. More than 40 of businesses say they have had to close and have lost all of their sales. Overall, the city of San Francisco faces a potential 1. 1 to 1. 7 billion budget deficit over the next two fiscal years. Today the mayor addressed what an impact that makes. That is going to mean really a hard blow to San Francisco, a hard blow to our services. So as we are also spending money and dealing with this pandemic here locally in order to keep people safe, we also have to be mindful about what will happen if we are not financially responsible now. The mayor says she hopes the city can get financial help from the state and the federal ri tonirus pandemic, companies are pivoting to make whats needed now, mainly medical supplies. Virgin orbit, which is part of Sir Richard Bransons Virgin Group is now making ventilators. John gregory from our sister station in los angeles shows you what theyre doing. They can blast a person to the edge of space, and now those same engineers at virgin orbit are putting their skills to work to save people here on earth. We just knew we had to do something to help. So we reached out first to governor newsoms office and were connected to a bunch of academic reachers at uc irvin and ut austin who identified for us the need for someone to go out and build in really large numbers a set of very simple ventilator units. Ventilators have turned out to be critical in this pandemic, pumping air into infected lungs, and giving patients a chance to recover. Just about every hospital in the country could use more than they have. Within a couple of days we had a working prototype that was in testing. A few days later we had a Second Generation prototype that we were testing as well. Weve now started the process of our fda approval, and were really beginning to ramp up our production. Hospitals arent just having a hard time finding ventilators, theyre also having trouble paying for them, Something Else virgin orbit is hoping to address by making their devices as simple and inexpensive as possible. Were doing this because its what our neighbors need. Its what our families need. Its what our hospitals need. And we want to make them as quickly and cheaply as we possibly can. Even though theyre working hard under difficult conditions, the company says morale is high. But ive never experienced quite like this. You know, its theres nothing more motive thang knowing if i spend another hour at work today, i could literally save lives. But like everybody else, the team at virgin orbit is looking forward to the day when this crisis is over and they can get back to the business of blasting people into space. John gregory, abc7 news. Amazing. Well, april 1 is not just april fools day, its census day. Despite coronavirus, the counting of every person in america continues. Some day, some day farewell to hamilton from hamilt coronavirus is a pandemic, meaning it is having a global impact. Today the number of cases worldwide passed 900,000. Spains diagnosed cases topped 100,000 today. Its death toll is now the second highest in the world after italys. France is the fourth country to record more than 4,000 covid19 deaths. And loy aye long with the u. S. , italy and spain, have now passed chinas total reported death toll. Germany has extended its lockdown that was set to expire on friday until after easter. In england, wimbledon is now canceled for the First Time Since world war ii. Here in the United States today, april 1 is census day. Its the official start of the census. But 38 of californians, maybe you, have already submitted their census data either online or by phone. I did it the other day. Well, now Community Leaders are urging the rest of us to do it as soon as possible. So census workers dont have to come to our houses to count us. This is the first time the census has been available online. Most california residents have already received a letter with instructions and a census id code to get started. All that information you enter is based on where you live on april 1st, even if you fill out the form earlier or later than that day. You can also phone in your answers in 12 different languages. And if you dent take any of those options, later this month you will get a paper census form in the mail. Its nine questions per person. So it shouldnt take that long at all. State and local Officials Say its critical that everyone be counted to determine how many representatives we get in congress, and how much federal tax money comes to california, including resources to deal with the impact of covid19. When we are counted, we count. So when you think about the 2 trillion stimulus package that is being provided to the entire country, our state and possibly our city could have a tremendous percentage of that pact based on the number of people that are counted in previous censuses. If you dont respond in the next few weeks, the census will follow up in person at your home. Someone will ring your doorbell. But its not certain when that might half. Because of our health crisis, right now they are delaying that for the safety, and we agree. So we can do our part by answering online or over the phone to make sure that nobody comes to our door. Nonprofits around the state are scrambling to figure out how to reach historically undercounted communities, and want to be sure that everyone knows by law, all your census information is confidential, and you will not be asked about your citizenship or immigration status. Now even if you cant find the Instruction Letter you got from the census, you can still go online to my2020census. Gov and the system will prompt you to enter your information. While youre online go, to abc7news. Com. The most popular story is about gavin newsom announcing california schools will be closed through the end of the academic year.

A key part of slowing the coronavirus pandemic is social distancing, keeping ourselves physically farther way from one another, and staying home as much as we possibly can. But this is obviously isolating and can make you feel lonely. Abc7 News Reporter stephanie sierra discovered some san mateo neighbors finding connection through song and dance. Put your left hand in.

And lake county a frost advisory from 2 00 a. M. To 9 00 a. M. Temperatures in the coldest spots will drop into the upper 20s.

Highs will be in the mid60s around the bay shoreline and upper 60s inland. The storm coming in this weekend, in two waves. It ranks 1 on the storm impact scale. Light to moderate rainfall with occasional downpours. Sunday is likely to be a wetter, ranier day than saturday. But both days will be pretty wet. And rainfall totals by the time the system winds down sunday night will range from 0. 3 to nearly 0. 33. Mild days coming our way tomorrow and friday. Which will not only produce rain in the bay area, but will produce a couple feet of snow. And early next week, we get partial clearing on monday after possibly a lingering shower or two in the morning hours. Looking pretty good. Dan and liz . A little sunshine. But i guess the rain will make it easier to stay inside. It is looking pretty good. Lets turn our attention now to sports. Larry beil is here. Shocker from the nfl that just broke.
