And were watching the return of some low clouds near San Francisco. That could lead to some drizzle for tomorrow morning. That plus a warmup in your fourth of july forecast. A look at that coming up. Plus no fireworks, no problem. How east bay neighbors are not letting the pandemic rain on their parade. Check it out. It is becoming a familiar sight. Long lines to get tested for covid19. Sky ranger above the cal state east bay drivethrough clinic today. In san jose, the line stretched around silver creek high. County health Officials Say they tested more than 800 people yesterday alone. So whats behind the sudden push to get tested . Well, the desire for lots of people to get back to work. But is it safe to get back to work . From retail to manufacturing, cal osha says its seeing a 30 increase in complaints this year from workers who say their employers really arent doing enough to protect them from covid19. Investigative reporter Candice Nguyen has gone through the data. What she found industries that are sparking the most concern for workers and the public. Reporter businesses across california are sending their complaints to cal osha headquarters here in the east bay. Most of these safety concerns are coming from our health care industry, but workers from retail, transportation, and Food Services are also sounding the alarm on covid illnesses and deaths where they work. From servers to stylists, from teachers to technicians, californians are heading back to work even as Health Experts question at what cost to safety. Were coming to work and were being exposed to covid positive patient. Reporter brianna is a nurse at a half where staff reported an outbreak in june. 37 Staff Members tested positive, most of them nurses. A lot of people were suddenly starting to call in sick. We worked with the county Health Department to address this issue and place new measures in place to prevent another cluster of cases like this first one. Reporter since the start of the pandemic, medical workers have been at the forefront of covid safety concerns. To date, cal osha has received nearly 3,000 covidrelated safety complaints with more than a third coming from the health care industry. But as more businesses reopen, the agency is seeing a second wave of complaints from other sectors. Those include 353 complaints from retail workers. 351 from manufacturing employees. 216 complaints from transportation and warehousing. And 159 covid complaints from Food Service Workers who believe their companies arent doing enough to protect them from coronavirus. Weve been so fixated on the when, not as responsibly focused on the how to safely reopen. Reporter on monday, governor gavin newsom announced plans to increase enforce many of the states reopening guidelines for businesses. This comes after a series of outbreaks like the one at this morgan hill fish Packing Company where 38 workers tested positive in a single day. In a statement, the company told us, our entire site was retested, and everyone was negative. All our sanitation and preventative measures are followed diligently. We are pleased to report we have had no new cases. I dont want to do this in a punitive mindset, but we have to keep people safe. Reporter right now, half of all cal osha covid complaints are resolved over the phone. On sitespecti we want to play by the rules. We want to be good partners. We just need to know what the rules are. Reporter Rachel Michelin is president of the california retailers association, which represents businesses from Big Box Stores to mom and pop shops. She says part of the issue is that businesses arent always clear which guidelines to follow between the cdc, cal osha, and local county Health Departments. Are retailers doing enough to keep workers and customers safe from the virus . So on the retailers that im working with, our members of our association, i would say a lot of them are. Reporter she says one of the biggest problems for employees is trying to convince customers to wear masks to help keep the workplace safe. Yeah. I mean weve had knives drawn on sales associates, a lot of yelling, a lot of, you know, colorful language. Reporter despite the rise in safety complaints and a record spike in cases, michelin believes another shutdown would be a bad idea. That would just do a lot in terms of frustrating all californians if we saw us going backwards instead of thoughtfully thinking about working together to how we can contain the spread but keep our businesses open. Reporter another big issue weve been hearing about involves transparency. When a worker is found to have covid19, the colleagues arent necessarily informed that they may have been exposed. Industry leaders tell us theyre still talking to state and local officials about this as involves privacy issues. To take a deeper dive into these numbers with us, head to nbcbayarea.
