The state Health Orders. That means whichever is stricter, controls. Thom . Reporter good morning, yes, were at the bottom of the exit. In some cases thats the local it was shut down at the top of order. But in other cases that is the the exit. As you know, it winds around up state order. And the state order does there, winds down where fremont continue to impose limitations and fulsome split off here. On certain activities that the the chp telling us in a press new order might otherwise allow. Release this morning, marcus, and so it is important that we that one person is dead.

Along with fellow health way, checked himself into san officers across the bay area, francisco generals emergency today im here to describe this center with a gunshot wound shortly after the bay bridge new Health Office order that shooting was first reported. Chp closed all westbound traffic were issuing across the region by midnight to accommodate that will take effect on monday, investigators on the scene here and it didnt reopen until after may 4. 6 00 this morning.

Sacrifice that has averted it must have been quite a shock catastrophe in our region. For those essential workers coming into work this morning, so in preparation for my remarks who have grown so used to seeing this morning, i was reflecting and reviewing all thats happened since january. No traffic. A backup for the better part of so, recall that on february 4, the morning, marcus, from here at the top of the exit to the Santa Clara County had two of toll plaza on the other side of the bay bridge. The 11 confirmed cases of were live in San Francisco, covid19 in the entire united thom jensen, nbc bay area news. States. Thats 18 . Thats our share of cases, on all right, thom, thank you. We want to put out a february 4. And by the end of february, we reminder for people who watch us had documented what we then over an antenna. Today were moving to a new thought to be the second case of frequency. Youll have to rescan your tvs, Community Transmission in the beginning at 1 00 p. M. , or entire country. But we now know that community youll lose our signal. Transmission was already go to your tv remote, press occurring in january and that menu, go to the channel or the first death in the country antenna menu, and select auto was in fact on february 7 and in tune or rescan. If you watch us through cable, a residence of our county. Satellite, or our free bay area so my point here is just to app, we dont have to do a thing remind us all that here in santa because nothings going to clara county, we got something chaung f of a head start in this change for you. We have more information for you pandemic. On nbc bay area rescan. But through gradual and collective action, starting with coming up for you, city voluntary working from home and workers in the south bay are being furloughed. The services that will be affected. Culminating in sheltering in place for the spread, good morning. Im meteorologist kari hall. Flattened the curve, preserved were looking at some much our hospital capacity, and cooler temperatures today as we get a live look out there at our prevented many, many deaths. Temperature trends in martinez. Our county now accounts for less well continue to stay a lot lower for the next few days. Than 5 of the cases in ill talk more about that coming up next. California, and just a tiny fraction of the over1 million cases across the united states. The new order that will take effect next week is designed to preserve the progress that weve made to continue to prevent a surge in cases and to gradually ease restrictions, allowing for a few additional businesses and activities to take place. But to be successful, we must ensure that we have a robust infrastructure in place to transition to containment and our case numbers must remain low to make it feasible. We must proceed slowly as we are continuing to learn more about the epidemiology and clinical severity of covid, and as we monitor the indicators which ill describe shortly. So weve learned a lot about covid19, since weve put the order into place. And most notably, we now know there is a very significant degree of asymptomatic infection. This means that we need to do even more testing to figure out who is infectious contact traci ensure that people who are infectious are safely away from others. Weve also learned that its not just older people and those with chronic medical conditions that may suffer from covid19. Recently, and again, thanks to our partners in the media in large part, weve learned many things including that young and previously healthy individuals have suffered from strokes and other poor health outcomes. So we have much, much more to learn. We also continue to learn from experiences across the world, many areas have suffered a sharp resurgence in cases when they have lifted shelterinplace too soon. If we move to ease restrictions to soon, the potential of spread could have grave impact to the health and welfare of our residents as well as to our economy. And of course a vaccine is still a long way off. And virtually our entire population is still at risk. So our region has developed five indicators which well be monitoring in our counties and across the region. Well be monitoring disease activity, Health Care Infrastructure to respond to a some San Jose City workers surge, as well as Public Health may soon join the ranks of infrastructure needed to successfully transition to unemployed, as the city deals containment. But ultimately, our goal is to with a growing budget shortfall move from more broadbased from its covid19 response and mitigation to a more focused falling sales tax revenue. Approach. So here is what well be looking nbc bay areas kris sanchez joins us live from San Jose City at. One, whether the total number of hall with whose jobs could be on the line. Kris . Cases in the community is flat or decreasing. Two, whether the number of reporter hi there, marcus. Im not wearing a mask right now hospitalized patients with covid because were pretty free and is flat or decreasing. Three, whether there is an clear out here adequate supply of personal socialdistancewise. Were talking about a thousand protective equipment to protect employees, parttime employees all health care workers. For the city of san jose, for 14 four, whether were meeting the need for testing, especially for different departments. We just got the word in the last people in vulnerable populations two minutes. Or those in high risk trace all the city of san jose is facing a budget hole for this fiscal year and more revenue shortfalls are expected for next year. The city is expecting a 27 million loss in sales tax revenue, add to a dip in Hotel Tax Revenue because of the shelterinplace order. There will be some open jobs left unfilled and they could cut some of those jobs. The city of san jose is considering furloughing unbenefited and temporary employees who are currently on paid administrative leave. Im told by the City Managers Office were talking about lifeguards, folks who do programs through the city library and whatnot. The departments include the parks and recreation department, i. T. , transportation department, and even the San Jose Police department, although no sworn officers. The furloughs will begin may 4. And certainly theres always the opportunity to assign those or reassign those employees work should we need their support in terms of how our response continues. Reporter so these employees will remain on the payroll. They wont have to go through all the rigmarole to reapply for those jobs when those jobs become available again. But if you are a benefitted, parttime, or temporary employee with the city of san jose, this does not affect you. I just got a note from the City Managers Office, were talking 1,183 employees. Again, lifeguards, recreational leaders, School Crossing guards which we dont really need at this point, library aides, and student interns as well. So those folks will be able to reapply for those jobs, but this is a very difficult time, the city is trying to make up that shortfall from all the sales tax, from the sales that they have not been making. In san jose, kris sanchez, nbc bay area news. A lot of changes coming may 4. Thank you, kris. Kari, i know weve been experiencing hot temperatures in the past but today is going to be a little cooler. Yeah, i was just looking at that camera behind you, and it shows the golden gate bridge, but you can barely see it because it is shrouded in fog right now. We already have a lot of big changes here as the fog cools us off from the coast to the inland areas. In the tri valley and doublin, filtered shine with temperatures in the low 70s in san martin. Low to mid60s across much of the bay area. Check out the change here. We are now 16 degrees lower now compared to yesterday at this time in santa rosa. Livermore is about 12 degrees lower. And in san jose, it is 8 degrees cooler. So were feeling that cooler air coming in right now. Our high temperatures today will be significantly lower for the inland areas. There were some spots yet hitting 90 degrees like antioch and fairfield. But today were looking at highs in the upper 70s. So the changes will continue as we go through this forecast as a result of this storm system thats been mauoving in. Weve seen a lot more clouds as a result but were still missing out on that rain. That will be the trend over the next several days. There will be storms over california bringing rain over the pacific northwest. For us, were just going to get at least every now and then some pushes of cooler air. Were looking at temperatures in the upper 70s from now into the first part of next week. But still saying mostly dry. And only a slight warmup in our temperatures early next week. Now back to you. Thanks, kari. That does it for our midday newscast. We want to remind you that Governor Newsom will speak at noon today. Well carry that right here on nbc bay area. That way we can learn more about that fourphase plan to reopen the state.
