Other universities we have been following. Amy hollyfield live at uc berkeley this morning. Good morning, amy. Good morning. The words are will be open and offering instruction and janet napalatano did leave online instruction and she is envisioning a mix. The question will be how much will be in person versus how much will be done remotely. According to the mercury news, uc system has lost 1. 2 billion because of this pandemic. A lot of money and you can see thats why they are looking to fall in their plans. The California State University system already announced all classes will be remote. This is a big departure from what that system is planning. It soundslike not only uc system but across the country are considering a mix at this point. Now, ucs president janet napatano says they will have to meet standards to help prevent the spread of coronavirus and they will have to get in place and get approved before they are allowed to reopen and she is saying that those decisions would be made mid june. But a big announcement coming out of the uc system. I know a lot of parents and Young Students are definitely looking for this kind of information right now. Reporting live from berkeley, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. That is true, amy, thank you. The state superintendent of Public Schools will lead a Virtual Meeting with all 1,000 Public School districts. We dont know when california Public Schools will reopen but we could get answers of what they will look like when they do. Teachers, students and staff will wear masks and class sizes will be smaller to ensure social distancing and constant cleaning will also be a new reality. State superintendent tony therman says districts are the eyilmost wilo in late august or early september. So, weve hrd from w mean a blend of styles of education. With some inclass instruction. And in some cases, still some distan ancance learning. And in todays Virtual Meeting representatives from each School District will also break into smaller groups to discuss how they plan to teach in the fall. On the peninsula as part of phase two in san mateo county, all child care facilities including camps can now reopen as long as they follow safety requirements. Among other rules each camprogram has to run for four weeks enough time for a case of coronavirus to be identified. Also children have to be kept in the same group of 12 or less with the same staff member. And kids cannot attend more than one program at the same time. The battle between church and state is heating up during the pandemic. More than 1,200 california pastors say theyll defy governor newsoms orders and hold services on may 31st. Ts ntl for times like these. So, this is Bishop Bob Jackson in oakland and he says the state doesnt care for peoples spiritual needs. He met with Alameda County officials yesterday to discuss holding a Church Service at the end of may. People would stay in their cars in the parking lot so they would maintain social distancing. Health Officials Say letting church goers indoors could spread coronavirus. Bring a lot of people together. You put them in a small, in closed quarters and you have a lot of proximity. I think all of those may bring significant risk of infection. The Justice Department sent a letter to the governor telling them not to discrimiin places of worship. In the north bay, Sonoma County beaches and parks are going to stay closed to outsiders this memorial day weekend but the county Health Office told the press democrat that broader access is expected in the near future. The county first has to determine if increased access for local residents have impacted covid19 cases. We all know the pandemic is changing peoples Summer Travel plans.

Just by saying it out loud and letting her husband knows and sometimes if its appropriate letting her kids know what is going on with her allows her to label it and then deal with it. And, so, thats some of the coping mechanisms that were going to be talking about today at 4 00. I think just the fact that were having this conversation might encourage more people to talk about it whether theyre just bringing it up now because youre leading this conversation. Thats good. Yes. I think a lot of people right now, this is another thing we will address are experiencing some symptoms that they may have never felt in their lives before.

And i felt my head and i was like, probably went too short. That was my fault, not her fault and then she made everything work. I was just impressed, excited. I mean, proud of her. Just amazing. I hope shes upstairs listening. Lets talk about whats going on weather wise. Hi, everybody. Its 53. Heres a look at sutro tower. Do you realize if we didnt have daylightsaving time the sun would have been up at 4 54 this morning. Instead its coming up at 5 54. Instead it will be a comfortable day today and tomorrow thanks to the breezing. The longest and hottest heat wave coming this weekend and still comfy at night and that will be our saving grace. This cold front keep us mild today and tomorrow. Inducing a strong onshore breeze today and thats why well have mid to upper 70s for most of the south bay and low to mid 70s along the peninsula and 69 in millbrae with the breezes shooting through the san bruno gap. Low to mid 60s there and upper 60s in downtown and then mid 70s. 75 to 80 up in the north bay and along the east bay shore the breezes will keep us 71 to 74 degrees and even though our inland neighborhoods the trivalley will feel those breezes and highway 4 a little warmer low to mid 80s. Tonight about the same as this morning. Clouds along the peninsula coast. Those will try to spill into parts of the bay like were seeing and short lived again tomorrow. Well wake up in the 40s and 50s. Now, with that cold front coming through, it will keep the cool air mass in place or relatively cool compared to what will happen saturday and sunday and monday and tuesday our most dangerous days. Reggie . I have a great story here. Ucsf longest staying coronavirus patient is now finally out of the hospital. Its a miracle im alive. Thank you so much. Oh, this is so good to see. The hospital gave ron a big send off yesterday. Got sick after returning from a trip from europe and south africa in march. He spent 34 days on a ventilator. He said his nurse, jason bloomer, reassured him that there is life after covid. I am just thinking, is this the way i will be for the rest of my life and my first nurse, jason, said youre going to get better and it is going to take four to eight months. Once i had that in my head that there will be an end to this no matter how long it took, everything turned around. They celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary two days ago. He says hes excited to hug her and spend time with their grandchildren. Am i just emotional today or is every story hitting me hard . That was something else. That is so good and i just love how you have someone who can speak life over you and give you just that little bit of encouragement that you need to keep going. That was the best part. Just to let him know it is going to be okay. The focus. I like that. Were happy. All right. New at 6 00, antibody tests for coronavirus are becoming more and more popular. Well share what a new abc news investigation has found about how accurate they are. And keeping park visitors at least six feet apart. Wher welcome back, everyone. Bluray players are part of the study to see if the laser on them could help kill coronavirus. Physicists at uc irvine says the laser itself doesnt kill the virus but if you add a small crystal it creates a type of uv light that can kill coronavirus with little risk to us. If this whole package is really this big, you could imagine making a mask that has a Battery Powered lamp in it that is cleaning the air that you breathe. Bluray sterilizers would be cheap compared to the medical versions. They will know by this fall if it could protect us. More social distancing circles going up in san jose today. Heres what it looks like at dolores park right now. Brandnew painted circles on a section of the parks lawn intended to keep people six feet apart. Earlier this month, the mayor threatened to close the park because of crowds. You can also expect to see these circles at little marina green starting today. Im going to be very curious to see how this situation goes because where theyve painted those circles is usually where people play games and stuff. Thats actually not really the laying out part of dolores park. So, i dont totally get this, but maybe it will work. I dont know. You bring an interesting point. I didnt realize that because i was excited about that because that would take some of the a anxiety away knowing i should be in this circle, you should be in that circle. You are going to want to go to dolores park. When temperatures hit the low 80s in San Francisco this weekend, youre going to dolores park. Lets be real about it. You can see saturday only 70 in San Francisco and only then youre going to dolores park. Mid to upper 70s around the bay and low to mid 80s inland and you can see by sunday some 90s starting to show up inland and even more 90s as we head into monday. That 74 in San Francisco and i think that is a little too warm and even 90s around the bay. All right, thanks, mike.
