San Francisco Mayor london breed today is making 24 7 Mental Health Services Available to City Employees and First Responders. Governor newsom is vowing to spend one billion to purchase up to 200 Million Masks a month. In Santa Clara County, Health Officials have ordered businesses to report if they have stockpiles of more than 5,000 gloves and 500 masks. Today the president said the government is inking deals with Companies Like philips to ramp up ventilator production. This will help ensure our company can produce enough ventilators in our country. That we can do it by ourselves. We expect to be sending quite a few to other countries. Now to the east bay, where Law Enforcement officers are out in force trying to make sure that everybody is following the rule g le wi t story. Eric . And larry, we rode along with sheriffs deputies from the Crime Prevention bureau out of the eden valley substation here in san leandro. Normally theyd be going to places to keep businesses and homes safe from crime. But now theyre trying to keep them from becoming a victim of something else. Following all the guidelines here. Crime prevention is still the top job of this sheriff detail. But during the coronavirus pandemic so, is disease prevention. These detide, keeping six feet distance between customers. Its ten feet, which is great. Sergeant oscar perez showed us how this Castro Valley bank of america is keeping customers even farther apart than recommended. How Hand Sanitizer is offered at the only entrance and exit and how furniture is wiped down after every use. This customer appreciates it. Theyre taking all the precautions. I think theyre really serving us well. Another gold star for this grocery and taqueria that lets in only ten customers at a time and puts distance marks not only at the checkout but in the aisles and customer counties too. We came yesterday and see thanksgiving were doing it, this is a place we want to come to. Its a model business, as is this trader joes. One customer out, one in, a maximum of 50 customers in at any one time. Deputies estimate 90 of businesses are in compliance. Delgado,ho told the pso epliance. Eounter whe ty for example, no Health Department guidelines posted on the window. No markings inside or out showing the recommended safe distance between customers, and no barrier to protect customer and checker from each other. Most stores have a shield in front of you. Yes. So that it protects you and protects also the customers thinking customer agrees. Id rather see it everywhere. Everywhere. You may be asking yourself could deputies cite those business franchise they wanted to . Well, the answer to that is probably so, but theyd rather use persuasion. I asked Sergeant Ray Kelly of the Sheriffs Office a little while ago if theyve issued any citations yet. He said theyve come very close, but most Business Owners in the end decide to go along with the program. Live in san leandro, eric thomas, abc7 news. The bay area had five more coronavirus deaths since yesterday. The total is now at 116. Overall cases grew by 208. Every county here on this map except for marin, santa cruz and sonoma counties reported new cases today. San francisco has 54 more since yesterday. Now at 676 cases. The county says 68 of those were spread by community contact. For our viewers in lake and mendocino counties, holding steady. Lake has two total. Mendocino has four cases and reports two people have recovered. In the south bay, the Santa Clara County public Health Department has issued a new order asking individuals and businesses to report if they have large inventories of personal protective equipment on hand. This announcement coming in anticipation of a forth coming shortage. Abc7 News Reporter chris nguyen with the story from san jose. Santa clara county Officials Say there are signs that our collective actions have helped slow the spread of covid19 and enabled Health Care Facilities to prepare for a potential surge. But that doesnt mean were out of danger. The order is about protecting the people who protect us. Wednesday morning, the county issued a new order individuals and businesses to report large inventories of ppe and any amount of ventilators by april 15th. While all this is going on, those First Responders are out there. They have left their families to be out there to protect those most in need. Ppe, such as gloves, n95 masks, surgical masks, goggles, and face shields only need to be reported if minimum thresholds are met. We put the amounts on our website, abc7news. Com. Getting this awareness will help us know what supply we can source here locally so that were not as reliant on scarce state and federal supplies. Silicon valley has been one of the hardest hit areas in california. The order comes one day after county officials confirmed nearly 1400 cases and 46 deaths related to covid19. Most likely all of us will be impacted by knowing someone affected by covid19, and so th we can all achieve a better state together. The county says information collected will be kept confidential and will only be used for Public Health purposes. We must continue to prepare, and we must continue to do everything in our power to prevent additional to protect our community. In san jose, chris nguyen, abc7 news. The state of california is taking a major state forward in its effort to acquire personal protective equipment, or ppe to help in the fight against coronavirus. Were very pleased that were able to formally submit to the legislature yesterday a request to utilize money from our Disaster Response Emergency Operations account that would allow us to invest over 1. 4 billion into ppe of all strll t purc 200 million mask, distrib statewide. The governor also addressed concerns that minority communities represented disproportionate number of coronavirus cases, but very preliminary numbers dent show that in california. The governor says just 37 of the states nearly 17,000 positive cases have been broken down demographically so far. And at this point, latinos make up 30 of the total cases and 29 of deaths. Asians represent 14 of cases, 16 of deaths, and African Americans represent 6 of cases and 3 of deaths. Those numbers track roughly with population numbers in the state. While californias preliminary data isnt showing disproportionate numbers, that doesnt seem to be the case nationally. According to the washington post, blacks nationwide have three times the rate of infections and almost six times the rate of deaths. Abc7 News Reporter Amy Hollyfield has the details. The federal government confirmed what many feared, black americans are dying of coronavirus at much higher rates compared to other African Americans in other cities. Dr. Anthony fauci says existing Health Disparities have made this Health Outbreak worse for africanamericans. Unfortunately, when you look at the predisposing conditions tat lead to a bad outcome with coronavirus, the things that get people into icus that require intubation and often lead to death, they are just those very comorbidities that are unfortunately disproportionate in the African American population. One east bay activist says you just need to look at conditions like this to see those disparities. He was not surprised by this news. The reaction is we already knew this. Its disproportionate, its been disproportionate for years. Inequity of our community. He serves on the Alameda County Illegal Dumping task force. He says he was already worried about how the virus would hit the African American community and had sent a letter to several county officials. He said this should be a wakeup call on many issues. But now we have to. We have to get ahead of everything, the inequities in our community have been horrendous here. Oakland officials telling me here that 70 of their Homeless Population is made up of African Americans. And leaders in oakland say they have been in intense talks about this issue for several days. In the east bay, Amy Hollyfield, abc7 news. Today on midday live, oakland mayor libby schaaf told our kris citizten sze that her s looking to move Homeless People into hotels. Our hope is to find hotels that would actually be willing to sell us that asset so that once this Health Emergency is finished, we might be able to continue using that building for our homeless or as permanent affordable housing. F says the c has acquired some 60 trailers from fema, many arriving today. Theyre being set up near the coliseum, and officials hope to have them available by mayor 1. One mayor to another. In san Francisco Mayor london breed said although the numbers may make it seem like people are doing a good job of staying at home, now is not the time to get too comfortable. As well as it may seem like were doing, as you can see, those numbers are still going up. And we anticipate that they would be even higher, and the worst is yet to come. Mayor breed also talked about the importance of Mental Health during this challenging time. The city is launching two initiatives to help First Responders and essential workers connect with counselors. Mayor breed said the city is also teaming with the citys Public Works Department to roll out portable bathrooms and hand washing stations in several areas including the tenderloin, the bayview and the mission to help the homeless. Today is the first day this only 17 muni routes are providing bus Service Throughout San Francisco. Public works carpenters spent part of the day constructing and putting up wooden safety barricades at muni statio entrances on Market Street. And check out droneview7 of the closed muni yards. Look at all those buses all lined up and packed in there. Turning to politics now. Senator Bernie Sanders announcing today he is suspending his campaign for the democratic president ial nomination, addressing his supporters in an online video message. I wish i could give you better news, but i think you know the truth. And that is that we are now some 300 delegates behind Vice President biden, and the path toward victory is virtually impossible. Sanders called the decision difficult and painful. He thanked his supporters, and pledged to continue the movement they helped to create. He congratulated presumptive nominee joe biden and vowed to work with him Going Forward. However, sanders said he will stay on the ballot in all remaining states and will continue to gather delegates. Biden issued a statement calling sanders a good man and a great lead. And made a direct pitch to his supporters saying, quote, i know that i need to earn your vote, and i know that might take time, but i want you to know that i see you, i hear you, and i understand the urgency of this movement.

More families in San Francisco received laptops today as the School District hopes to begin Online Learning on monday. But the biggest challenge has been providing Internet Service to those families. Abc7 News Reporter Lyanne Melendez tells whats they propose. With a new chrome book came orders to return them once schools reopen in the fall. In the meantime, these devices will be a students entry into an online classroom. For nicholas, he is excited to get that computer and connect to the teacher and his classmates. He is super excited. San francisco unified has distributed 8,000 devices a is still trying to reach out to families who need them. So were sending phone calls. Were sending emails. Were sending texts to let them know where they can pick up a device, how they can get one for their child. On monday, when phase three of Distance Learning begins, teachers warn there will be a few bugs. Its not going to be perfect. Were going to be problem solving as we go. Getting a laptop in the hands of families has been a huge undertaking, but the biggest challenge remains providing Internet Service for all. So here is what they are doing to bring that gap. The district has Internet Companies providing either free or low cost service to the neediest families. The second plan is to place superspots in some neighborhoods. That allow for multiple connections at the same time. Finally, 1500 of these hot spots have been given out. These are routers connected to a cell service. 5,000 more have been ordered. The district says private companies have spped up to donate or pay for most of this equipment. In San Francisco, Lyanne Melendez, abc7 news. Students at berkeley Public Schools wont get lessons for now over zoom and google meet. The School District today temporarily suspended use of the videoconferencing sites due to a zoom bombing incident. That d pls teachers will use other online conferencing platforms and recorded lectures. Because of the statewide shelter in place, were seeing one industry starting to suffer major blows. And were talking about the milk business. Maybe youve seen these unusual scenes popping up all around the country. Dairies are flushing tons and tons of usable milk right down the drain, and its happening here too. One dairy union in the state estimates about 10 of milk is getting dumped right now, largely because all School Cafeterias and many restaurants are closed. That means dire losses for californias agriculture industry. Lets think about it. California, the largest state in the country. The fifth largest economy. Ag is the number one, bigger than tech, bigger than anybody. State supply member jim cooper spoke at the new hope dairy earlier today in sacramento county. He says he is currently working with lawmakers to sign off on emergency relief for the dairy industry. Panera bread is offering something new. Theyre selling essential groceries in addition to regular menu. You order milk, produce through the regular app. Stores are open for a pickup or do a contactfree delivery through grubhub. Es bile orderingp o y drink at the front door. Philz says it has taken steps to limit interactions between customers and workers. Stores will have limited hours opening at 7 00 each day and closing at 2 00. Today so far has been a mix of sun and clouds. Yes, Spencer Christian joining us now. Were in for a stretch of some sunny weather here in the next few days. We are indeed, larry. We have to get through this little patch of mixed clouds, the sun is coming. Weve got bright skies around the bay area right now. Its been bright and breezy. Thats one way of describing it. Despite the presence of a few clouds. Current temperature reads are 57 in San Francisco. Low to mid60s at oakland, redwood city and san jose. 58 gilroy. 54 at half moon bay. Other temperature readings right now down to 57 degrees at santa rosa and napa. A little cool up in some of the north bay valleys. Mid60s at concord and livermore. And our forecast features are these. Well see isolated or the possibility of isolated showers during the evening and overnight hours even into tomorrow. Brighter and milder weather will begin on friday, and a warming trend beginsweekend. The satellite radar shows the lowpressure system that was our storm a couple of days ago centered in Southern California now. Look at the wide circulation. Its still sweeping some areas of showers up into our region. So lets go to the forecast animation. Take you into the late night and overnight hours, right around midnight or so, well see another little wave of moisture working its way through the bay area and during the overnight hours and into the morning. We could see scattered showers mainly in the south bay, although they could reach a little farther north. And later in the day, even into nighttime hours, there is still a slight chance of isolated showers. But by friday, things should be cearing out. Overnight lows generally in the upper 40s to 50s. It will be relatively mild overnight. And High Temperatures tomorrow up in the north bay, low to mid60s inland. Thats about as mild as it will get. Even though its going to be sunnier there than other regions. It will be a bit cloudier in other parts of the bay area where highs will also reach only into the low to mid60s. Along the coast, relatively cool and breezy, with highs in the upper 50s. As we look ahead at the High Temperature trend on friday, it gets a little bit milder, up to 68 to 70 degrees. And the warmest inland locations. But there will be much warmer weather on saturday, with under sunny skies with highs up to about 71, 72 degrees in the warmest inland areas. And easter sunday, we may see mid70s inland. Here is the accuweather sevenday forecast. Once it begins to warm up a little bit on friday, it warms up a lot more over the weekend. And that pattern continues into midweek next week wednesday. Tuesday and wednesday, look for High Temperatures inland int the upper 70s. Mid to upper 70s around the bay. Mid soys on the coast. Spring warmth is on the way. We just have to be patient, larry and ama. All right, thanks, spencer. Thats our strength, spencer, as you know. Turning to food for comfort during these strange times.

Being prepared and overcoming challenges. Usaa has been standing with them for nearly a hundred years. And well be here to serve you for a hundred more. 2020 has been a rough year for many of us, especially for basketball star sabrina ionescu. In january, her friend and mentor kobe bryant died in a helicopter crash. Just a few weeks ago, the coronavirus shut down her dreams of winning an ncaa championship with the oregon ducks. Now sabrina is back home in walnut creek, ahead to a career in the wnba, and she joined us on our with authority pod. Chris alvarez joined me for that chat and is live from home. I think everybody that hears or meets sabrina will instantly fall in love with her. She is terrific. Yeah, youre exactly right, larry. Biggest fans myself, larry, the whole bay area. She hails from right here in the bay area, miramonte high school, went to oregon. Best player in Womens College basketball. She is a great person as well. You mention herd connection with kobe. Today we confirmed she even got a workout in with steph curry, at a safe distance. Sabrina, i was on instagram today, and saw one of your latest posts. Youre six feet away. Was that from today . Yeah, i was literally just with him now. What is your relationship like with steph . I mean, hes been my favorite player for ten years now since hes been the league, and its been cool to just see kind of that relationship grow from him not knowing who i was and me watching him as a rookie until now were both kind of on the scene, basketball players from the bay area. So how are you justea ormal in . Yeah, i mean, its definitely unfortunate, especially looking back at memories from a year ago and seeing that we were at the final four last year, and then realizing that last sunday would have been the National Championship game. It is unfortunate not being able to celebrate and hopefully have been there with my team. But still working out. Still getting in the gym. No matter where you go, youre always from here. So the bay area, what does it mean to you and how do you plan on promoting the bay area . Yeah, i was born, you know, alt cre, raised in walnut creek, still live in walnut creek. I love it here. I love being able to come back and play here. Im happy the wnba isnt like a fulltime job. It is three to four months, but then there is a lot of time to be able to come back home and be able to impact the community here, get back to my schools and give back to them. So i am excited to have that opportunity to do that to a city that gave so much to me. You got to like everything she said. We spoke to her for more than 30 minutes. Well get that with authority up as soon as possible. We all know she so to the first pick to new york in a week in the wnba draft. She has so many great people in her phone. She was great. I dont know what to say. Great stuff from sabrina today. I just love how she said she and her brother used to find easy marks at lunchtime and when they were kids growing up at pickup games and make these bets, and then get money for slurpees. And she said if she saw us out there, she definitely would have taken our money. She is just great. Taking our lunch money for sure. For sure. The podcast will be up as soon as we can post it. And everybody can enjoy. Thank you, chris. Evenced b ea. But it appears one popular San Francisco event is still a go, at least for now. Whats happening with sf pride, coming up. Plus, more closures as now your health, your safety. This is abc7 news. Conflicting messages are circulating about whether sf pride and its parade is happening in june. As it stands right now, the parades board of directors is still making plans to go on with the event. Stephanie sierra is live along Market Street with the latest. Stephanie . Ama, its certainly a fluid decisionmaking process at this point. But the view behind me really says it all. Were at the corner of fremont and market, and with the exception of a few cars and people walking around, it is a ghost town here at this hour. And it may very well be that way in june for the parade. But the bottom line is the board of directors are in talks right now, trying tocheers, massive c waving sign, even champagne its a sight we likely wont be seeing at the sf pride parade come june as concerns over covid19 continue, there is legitimate fear whether hosting a large scale event drawing in more than a Million People is realistic and safe. Were in a different reality. And i think its important first of all as dr. Coal flfax said, cant predict the future. We dont know whats going to happen as this progresses. Mayor london breed pointing out it will take time to get the city back to some sense of normalcy. It may not be possible to expect that we could launch a large scale event with millions of people descending on San Francisco. I just am not sure if thats going to be realistic. But if you ask carolyn weisinger, the board president of sf pride, there is still hope. Right now all the options are on the table. We see so many things with this situation changing every day. Sf prides executive director fred lopez released this statement tuesday, saying the 50year anniversary celebration will look very different, different as in downsizing. sun significant the changes will be. But as weisinger pointed out, safety will be the priority. Remember how many of our community is vulnerable to this particular virus. When they say people who have existing conditions, that means so many things, not just hiv and aids. I mean people who dont have Proper Health care. Now we are expected to hear a final decision by late next week. And of course well keep a close eye on it. Live in San Francisco, stephanie sierra, abc7 news. Thank you. Chronicle insider and abc7 news news contributor phil matier joins us right now. A lot to talk about starting with the pride plans stephanie was just discussing. Is this just Wishful Thinking o before june comes up, but whats your take on this . Well, what we have is a situation. We didnt have opening day for baseball, the Cherry Blossom festival. There is a number of events all across the nation that are either being canceld or being looked at with the idea of maybe scaling them back or just not having them. And gay pride is one of those. The question is, is it going to be smaller . Is it going to be symbolic, but were not back in the way we were before . The Mayors Office get assay in this as well, because the city issues the permits for the Market Street parade, to close down the street, and for the civic center celebration. If theyre going to need city permits, theyre going to have to talk health. Theyre going have to talk health and public safety. Ed will, larry, there is a question even if there is was a celebration, how many people would want to fly in and be part of it given the conditions of todays health. Thats a great point. Im not sure that people want to be in large groups right now. But again, we got until june. Lets move on to bart. Your story in the chronicle today mentioning fare evasion is still a problem, even though ridership is down more than 93 . Yeah. It is pretty amazing. What we have is ridership has dropped. You can imagine its like a tide pool, and the water has all gone out of it. But the fare evaders, some of them bad actors, are still going through at the same rate. As a matter of fact, just a couple of days ago they pulled 238 of them out for not paying their fares. Its one thing not to pay your fares, but were also talking sometimes about the homeless and the mentally ill and others who get on the trains and spend the day there. And thats what i saw when i was on bart. Its not so much that anybody is acting out or violent, although there have been cases of that. What we have is people with no place else to go. And theyre going on to the bart trains. And theyre riding them. They did that before we had the pandemic, but it wasnt noticed as much because there are other passengers in there. But now we have essential workers traveling with this we have them in ty, l i say, a lot more of the homeless are on there. So there are questions of health being raised. Is this okay to be doing . Somebody getting on in San Francisco and riding around throughout the bay area . Police and bart officials are doing their best. Theyve had to, however, suspend their fare check proposals because, one, theyre concerned about their workers getting the virus. So theyve taken them off the trains and out of the underground platforms on the San Francisco stations and put them up around the gates to sort of say visually dont try to get. In but even then, larry, its tough. Because what were starting to see is some city workers, county workers and people, they are starting to take time off, either because they have child care issues or for health reasons. So the force keeping an eye on things is getting tougher to provide as well. Let me get to one last story outside of covid19. Bernie sanders suspending his race for the presidency. So will we see joe biden . We will see biden versus trump in november. The key question being can biden win the support of bernies followers Going Forward into november . Well, thats a tough one. First of all, bernie said he is going to stay on the ballot. So sanders supporters can continue to vote for him, can continue to collect delegates and continue to become a force if there is a convention. This is our platform, universal health care, free college, debt forgiveness, things like that. Now joe bidens trick is going to have to be to sort of match their aspirations, say come on board, join us without going so far as to alienate some of the people that think thats going too far. T. Ats what politics is all you dont often have solutions. What you have is sort of a balancing act. And thats going to be up to biden to try to provide Going Forward. Hes got the nomination, but winning that seat in november is a completely different game, and its going to take every vote he can get, including sanders supporter. Thank you, phil. Phil matier also the chronicles insider. You can read his columns on wednesdays and sundays. Ama . We have much more to come. Just ahead, the ban at some nearby beaches, and what could happen if you go anyway. In partnership with feeding america, abc is staging a day of hope.

As of midnight tonight, surf willing be banned in santa cruz county. Health officials are also closing parks and beaches. Dustin dorsey has the details. What we want is our own Community Members to stay at home, and we dont want people from other counties coming into santa cruz county. Strong words from sheriff jim hart following a strong ord osed to prevent the threat of coronavirus. What were asking is for people to stop the activities that theyre doing. Stop surfing, stop grouping up. Theyre going to have to stop going to the parks. Were all making sacrifices right now. This just a temporary thing. But in order to keep our Community Members safe, some people who want to be surfing right now are just going to have to stop. The Sheriffs Department has already issued more than 80 citations for not following californias shelter in place orders and fines will total up to 1,000. People can still go for walks in neighborhoods, but bans include skate parks, dog parks and other recreational areas. The response from residents mixed. Some upset their privileges are taken away. Others understanding of the attempt to flatten the curve. All with hopes that the ban doesnt last too long. Theyve got to do whatever they have got to do. The people that arent taking it seriously are the reason they have the new restrictions. Hopefully everybody behaves so that we can still enjoy the privilege of being this the fresh air and the ocean. The order is set to end april 15th in an attempt to keep people away during spring break. But chief hart says life will go back to normal when officials believe its safe to do so. I dont like giving people false hope. I think were in for the long haul on this thing personally. In santa cruz county, dustin dorsey, abc7 news. This is interesting, because as a guy who loves surfing, i would probably make the argument to officials that im out in the middle of the ocean. Its the safest place i could possibly be. But spencer, i mean, you dont know about the community spread. You dont know if its in the air. So even though it appears that you might be safer out there, maybe not. Yeah. You know, larry, given the gravity of this situation, i dont understand why anybody would not just go along with the plan and, you know, just were only asking people for about a month to not put yourself and other people in jeopardy.
