Im dion lim. A huge swell of covid19 cases has prompted several counties to implement a new stayathome order. It goes into effect at 10 00 tomorrow night for San Francisco, santa clara, and contra costa county. Monday at midnight in Alameda County, and noon on tuesday in marin. The new rules will stay in effect until at least january 4th. We turn to abc7 News Reporter luz pena now who spoke to people who are out for what may their very last meal out until next year. Luz, as we can imagine, some businesses really concerned here. Dion, i spoke to several Business Owners who tell me these are going to be very challenging weeks. Theyre planning to lay off some of their staff after tomorrow night as they gear up to survive the stayathome order. Unless something changes, this is what the last saturday of Outdoor Dining of 2020 looked like in San Francisco. Packed. Yeah, the last hurrah. Reporter this family heard the news and are going on a food tour. We started at the ferry building, and then walked up into north beach. And i think well end up in the mission. Reporter in the north bay, almost every outdoor seat was taken. The general manager of tonys pizzeria says the generosity of people leaving bigger tips than usual tonight is exactly whats giving them hope as they plan to survive past january 4th. It is going to be another big hit for us, especially after we invest so much money and time. It was a big effort to do all this and all the sparkler. Reporter early in the day, another group of san franciscans are also struggling with the thought of a second stayathome order, which means no playgrounds. First of all, school. Very frustrated. And now i hear that i cant even come and bring my kid to a park. Very frustrated. Reporter david pennys son is 6yearold erly. Today we broke the news to him. Playgrounds are going to have to close after sunday. What do you think about that . I think im going to be sad. Reporter i spoke to several parents who are concerned about the longterm effects this pandemic will have on their children. So tonight at 11 00, you will get to hear from phil ginsburg, the general manager of the San Francisco recreation and park department. In the newsroom, luz pena, abc news. That little boys response broke my heart. Thank you. Abc7 news was in walnut creek where stylists at salon hanover were working around the clock to book lastminute customers. All nonessential businesses are closing. Business owners say they are devastated, having been through this already. We spent all of the money on plexiglas and all the upgrades on the salon, you know. And its just tough. Clients were also worried about how their stylist would pay their bills. Salon hanover will stay open all day tomorrow in order to get as many customers in as they can. And here is an explainer why many of us will be under the order and exactly what it means. In addition to slowing the spread, the emergency order is intended to prevent icus from being overwhelmed with covid patients. The order divides the state into five regions, the bay area being one of them, and connects business shutdowns to hospital icu capacity. When a region has fewer than 15 of its icu beds available, new restrictions are imposed by the state. State numbers out today show the bay area has nearly 22 icu capacity. The governor says the region will meet the closure threshold within a day or two. And in addition to restaurants, salon, and playgrounds, those counties agreed to close movie theaters and wineries. Now not all bay area counties are implementing the order. That includes napa, sonoma, solano and san mateo counties. Counties that are adopting the new restrictions are doing so before the state orders them to do. So our commitment to help build a better bay area includes focusing on education and how schools are trying to best serve their students during the pandemic. As abc7 News ReporterCornell Bernard has the story of the families who rallied in the bay area today, all with the same plea, reopen public schools. Open schools now open schools now reporter parents an kids marched to San Franciscos city hall, a small group with a big message. We moat learning doesnt work at all. Reporter Daniel Katzen says his 5yearold is falling behind. Im a stay at home parent, and we have reliable wifi. It still doesnt work. My son doesnt know how to read since hes in kindergarten. Reporter these parents say they want to see the district open schools for inperson learning. Here in berkeley, these parents echoing the same complaint, that Distance Learning has been a big failure. Were all very frustrated with our school districts. Reporter this rally at mlk park brought families together. Eighth grader ella haynesworth talked about her struggles. Its hard for a lot of people, and my Mental Health hasnt been so great during zoom school. Its all been pretty chaotic. We really believe that guided by science, our schools could be reopened. In a statement, the district said berkeley unified is currently working diligently to be ready to reopen our schools in a hybrid model that will balance families differing needs at the point that state and county Health Officials indicate that it is safe. The Berkeley School board has approved midjanuary for prek through fifth grade to resume classroom learning in a hybrid model. No plan yet for middle or high schools. San francisco unified said its target of january 25th for the first wave of schools to open for inperson learning. Mayor london breed remains focused on education. We absolutely must continue our work to reopen our public schools. Reporter but these parents want to see their kids back in the classroom sooner than later. The kids are suffering every day theyre not on campus. Reporter Cornell Bernard, abc7 news. Santa clara county will allow schools that have already reopened to stay open for inperson instruction.

You got to keep that nice beard in check. Were going to keep in check as well are the temperatures overnight tonight. Not too chilly out there, but winds are the next factor were watching late tomorrow night into early monday morning. Here is live doppler 7, along with satellite right now showing you partly to mostly cloudy skies. You probably noticed throughout the day today clouds were on the increase from west to east. All associated with the cold front that is unfortunately not going to bring us any beneficial rainfall. Maybe just some coastal drizzle early in the morning tomorrow. Thats about it. Numbers right now, were down to 43 in novato. But 50 in the city. 49 in concord. 48 the current temperature in half moon bay. So overnight tonight, well call it a mix of stars and clouds out there. A little chilly in the north bay. Upper 30s. It has been colder in nights past. So not nearly as chilly as, say, last week. Mid to upper 40s around the bay shoreline.

As that front moves through tonight, its going to help to clear a little bit of the pollutants in our atmosphere. So tomorrows air quality, its a little bit better. Good to moderate. But youll still notice some haze in our sky. Winds will then pick up again. This is what were watching very closely. Monday morning, 6 00 a. M. You see those offshore winds developing in the north bay, gusting anywhere from say 20 to perhaps 35 miles per hour. Again, we have not had beneficial rain to end our fire season quite yet.
