They will be under a new stay at home order. These are the regions. You can see northern california. Greater sacramento. Southern california. And here in the bay area. It could go through mid to late december. The rest could be just a day or two. What does it mean . Businesses that have to shut down again. Wineries. Hair salons. Playgrounds and zoos. No more dining. Retail stores can remain open at 20 capacity. Restaurants can do take out and delivery. And religious services can be outside. The shelter at home order will remain in effect for at least three weeks. The urgency of the pandemic prompting hospitals to expand into open lots and areas and out door pavilions. This tent outside of kaiser in walnut creek. If the surge triggers a stay ot home order the fall out will be felt everywhere. From hospitals to Small Businesses. This is not what healthcare workers or Small Businesses want to see. More tents goij up outside hospitals. These being constructed outside of kaiser in walnut creek. Governor newsom warning today that as intensive care units get closer to capacity. California is in danger of another shut down. And the governor made it clear. Were getting close. I see capacity in all the regions by the end of the month drop based on current projections below 15 . Small businesses along main street will be forced to shut down or cut back. Restaurants which spent tens of thousands on out door renovation, would be forced to return to take out only. With it getting colder, the restrictions into take out. We may not have enough to survive. Watching from his barbershop. Absorbing the bad news live. His business must shut down along with other salons. As of right now its closed for six and a half months this year. Were just starting to get busy again. It will be rough. It will be rough for a while. Governor newsom says any region that triggers the stay at home order would have to stay there for at least three weeks. So tough on businesses. Thank you. Lets take a look at where icu bed availability stands around the bay area. Again it hits below 15 the stay at home kicks in. Most of the counties in the bay area are hovering around 30 capacity rite now. Santa clara 17 . 03 . It only has three beds left. We are waiting to hear back on its capacity. It might not wait for the 15 marker to shut down. It might enact the order sooner. They might do it right away. We are okay as of right now. The bay area has enough hospital beds. Really for how long . Its an ever changing numbers game. And could be changing within hours. Yeah. Exactly. Numbers continue to change. Lets talk about San Francisco and the system. They have weathered the initial surge that happened in march. And weathered that summer surge. And now they say they are anticipating a strong winter surge as well. They are in full preparation mode. Right now they say they have a moderate number of covid patients. A the director of the unit says they have been furiously planning for a lot more. A cross the Health System we have had a few weeks ago maybe in the midteens number of covid patients. That number has gone up to the 30s which has been a big increase in the past few weeks. We know that that number might increase in the coming weeks as hospitalization lags after thanksgiving travel. We are okay. How nervous are you about the next couple of months before we get everyone vaccinated . To recognize from the health perspective. These are grim days. We are entering the winter months where we might see increasing illness. We know hospitals are stretched. Theres certainly a level of worry and angst in the hospital. At the same time for many of us that we have been running a marathon without an end in sight. And the vaccine in the month of november is really been a remarkable scientific achievement. A lot of mind set is balancing both angst and concern for the months ahead. Also a really big ray of hope knowing that vaccine will be arriving soon. What they toent want to see is find themselves where they were beginning of the pandemic. And had to stop other elective procedures like surgery. They have been planning for that. On the optimism note, one of the things they have no they didnt have in march is ability to look a patient in the face and say we understand this virus now, we understand it it. Well do our best to help you. They say caring with confidence is a huge difference. They are hanging on as they wait for a vaccine. The first doses of the vaccine weeks away. California is expecting to get 327,000 doses of the Pfizer Vaccine this month. The first injections will come in middecember. Who will be in the line . Today the governor broke down the first group to three tiers. People in assisted living facilities. Emergency response workers and people in dialysis centers. Second tier is in oklahohome healthcare workers. Primary care facilities. Specialty clinics. Lab workers. Dentists and pharmacy staff. The governor says those who need it most will be prioritized. Those that think they can get ahead of the line and those that think because they have resources or they have relationships that allow them to do it. We will be monitoring that very closely. The governor said counties can place orders for the vaccine doses tomorrow. So much to unpack from the governor announcement this afternoon. What about travel . The stay at home order triggers limits on nonessential travel. What exactly does that mean . Is it enforceable. Were really looking for people to do their best a simple message in a complicated stay at home order. Cancel travel plans and stay home. California governor urging everyone to stay home as much as possible. And dont mix with anyone who is not a part of your family. The stay at home order gets triggered if icu cases rise. All nonessential travel we are ordering to be temporarily restricted. That was all the governor said when announcing it. No details or specifics. A requirement some travel be restricted if a region icu capacity drops below 15 . Almost instantly, questions started popping up on social media. Do they mean air travel . Trips by car . Just travel in state . And perhaps one of the big ones. Who will enforce this. Secretary of the California Health and Human Services admits that the state is banking on people to do the right thing. I know people will say how can you enforce that. Ground troops are spread thin. Thats true. We believe that really emphasizing that this is what we hope our citizens will do. Because their communities are particular high risk. Thanks. The state is sounding the alarm because of the dwindling bed situation. A number of hospitals already well over 90 capacity. Some with just five beds available. Five beds left. The biggest out breaks are at care facilities and homeless shelters. One nursing home has had 150 positive cases. In a homeless shelter, reported 60 new cases in over a week. Each hospital has submitted a plan to increase the capacity within the four walls of the hospital. Inclouding bringing beds into service that normally arent in service. Health leaders say it will be difficult this time to set up special facilities. Because the size of the nationwide out break. There are less nurses available now. To help out. Bad blood brewing betweenhe 49er and Santa Clara County. Head coach responded to criticism from a county executive. The niners have moved their operations to arizona. Theyll spend three weeks in the phoenix area. Playing in the inside the dome. After the county banned Contact Sports because of a rise in cases. On sunday the coach voiced his disappointment that the team was caught off guard by the latest restrictions. County exec ti director you saw him there responded by questioning the 49ers values saying nfl teams shouldnt be playing anywhere. During a pandemic. I have no reaction. Im not someone who questions our values doesnt know us. Shows what were dealing with. That doesnt matter. 49ers host the bills on monday night in arizona. The first of two games they are scheduled to play in glen dale. Up next set to reopen to the public for the first time. But not so fast. The people looking to keep their popular park off limits to those who dont live there. Also a piece of art removed from sjc. The reason officers found it offensive. Police officers. And why the artist says it wasnt the intent. Im chief meteorologist ill have details on some wind moving in for this weekend. Ill show you where the focus is of the gusty conditions and how were doing so far for the rainfall season. Shock in the political world tonight. A prominent democratic strategist accused of felony domestic violence. He was arrested and charged in napa county in october. His wife told police he was under the influence of alcohol and marijuana when he pushed her into glass doors causing her to fall. She claimed he grabbed a pillow and tried to suffocate their 4 yearold. Hes a long time adviser of Governor Newsom. In a statement to the chronicle, he says he spent his career in crisis communication. Fighting on behalf of the wrongfully accused and now for the first time i really know what it feels like to be in their shoes. I will be exonerated. I love my children more than anything on earth. And will be reunited. A controversial painting. On display at the airport. Police officers werent happy with it. We have the details. The city says the display was part of a rotating sicycle here it. It has been removed. It was on display showing a demonstrators on top of a police car. The windows are cracked. And some say it looks like two blood splatters. It looked like depicting violence against law enforcement. And that doesnt have any place in the city. That retired Police Officer didnt want to be identified. And the police union declined to comment. Off camera. Several said it has angered and hurt them. Theres been several ambush type attacks on police. That are sitting in vehicles. That was what i got from it. Part of the public art program. Artists submitted work reflecting on the Global Pandemic and this difficult time. You want to create something that hits home. With some people. He was commissioned by the is it i to paint the controversial art work. Holding the moment. He wanted to express the pain many were feeling after the george floyd murder. Its not antipolice. Its antipolice brutality. Exactly. I believe police serve a role in society. I respect Police Officers. They do a tough job. They go out and risk their lives to protect. Today the display case is empty. The art removed by the city. Saying in a statement quote. Its antikilling. Its about not having anymore of the deaths. Needless deaths. The city says it doesnt have any other plans exhibits at the airport. A petition circulating challenges the city counsel decision to open a park to more of the public. No other publicly owned park in the state of california has a sign like this. Outside foothills park. Which limits access to residents only. And their invited guest. That is changing. Two weeks from today after the counsel opened it up following lawsuits. Now opponents want to put the issue on the ballot. For voters to decide who can use the park. Attention to the chief meteorologist. Im getting comments on twitter. Showing off her christmas tree. Youre getting a lot of love for the trees. I know. Everybody is so happy to do any kind of christmas decorating early this year. We started getting photographs two weeks ago. Hope youre enjoying the tree. Well share a photograph from a viewer coming up in 25 minutes. Well roll it into the forecast. Through tomorrow morning we can expect a chilly start. Some upper 30s and low 40s with a isolated patchy fog. And by the afternoon mostly sunny skies. And another one of the days where no matter where you are headed, temperatures will be the same. 66. 67 concord. 68 morgan hill. You have low to mid60s from halfmoon bay into San Francisco. I want to turn the focus into this wind we could be seeing. Right now it looks focussed over the mountains. As we head into sunday and monday morning. What were looking at is area of low pressure. Counter clock wise circulation. Drier wind north and east. You can see the wintd map. Starting to see fire warnings issued. The big threat is north bay mountains. Red orange color sunday night. And surface winds about 34 miles per hour. We see that wind in the mountains also down for some of the low elevations in 6 00 a. M. Monday. And we likely could see into the earl will afternoon on monday. I think the north bay would be the big focus for some of the gusts. And its so dry out there. Were running two to five inches behind for the rainfall season. A longer look at this forecast. And a tree picture again from one of the viewers. See you in about 25 minutes. Picture perfect. Much more to come. They cant catch a break. Salons,est restaurants bracing for the worst again. What happens if the shelter at home order goes enta effect in the bay area. Spending the holiday apart. How will the royal family stay connected . Well share an update from the queen. How do you keep your workers in employed if you cant keep your doors open during a pandemic . We have a local Business Owner getting creative during the holiday. Nine months into the pandemic. How you survive financially when the businesses rely on tourism and foot traffic. Thats what the governor said is a firm no. You have to reinvent yourself over and over again. Thats exactly what she found out. With her wine market in the city and throughout the bay area. They all had wine bars and those are gone. That in itself was a thing you have to make up financially. You dont have the foot traffic. Then the very difficult. Again not only do you not have tourists and locals coming out, this isnt going to work for the new one opened november. So we had a few good months and march hit. Navigating ever changing rules about dining, her staff did a huge hard pivot. They started planning for online holiday sales. To survive what they fully expected to be a hard winter. That planning is paying off. They have turned all three of the wine bars into gift box and wine Basket Assembly lines. With 30 different types of baskets. They pack deliver and do wine tasting zoom calls. To stay in business. Not only have they not had to lay anybody off. They hired a few people. Thankfully every day we have an element of the business that we can make better and find time to improve it. And probably become better operators when its over. We developed something that we dont have a marketing department. Or people who do this stuff for us. Its my Business Partner and me and managers that came together and tried to figure out how to be better at what we have been doing all along. You were very instrumental. In the chase center. With the wine and wine lists. That was a big deal. And screeching halt. I dont look it so much as it affected me. But affected again the community. From the workers all the way up to the team and the owners. Its such a devastating blow. So they are surviving the holiday. What happens next . In january and february they usually rely on convention business. Thats not happening. What it means for them is to reinvent themselves again. They dont know what that will look like. Since they have to see what happens with state and city guidelines. In the meantime, they are just trying to make it day by day. They just like with every other business. One quick note. I know jeff keeps showing off his tree. Mine is just has the lites on. Yesterday it had nothing. I promise in the next few days i will be putting ornaments on the tree. We can sent jeff over. If that could happen. It looks great. The hardest part is done. Still to come. Our continuing coverage on california new stay at home order. Why some San Francisco restaurants are talking about hibernating. What mayor breed is saying about her recent dinner party. At the French Laundry restaurant. Right now at 6 30. Be ready for a few weeks and months ahead. Out lining a new stay at home order. That could trigger in the bay area middecember. The order hinges on hospital capacity. Especially the number of icu beds available. The governor broke the state into five regions today. You can see them here. Northern california, greating sacramento. Southern california. Bay area. If icu beds drops below 15 that region will be put under a new stay at home order right away. The governor says most of the state will be there this week. The bay area later this month. What does that mean . The state at home this time we did it in march. This time. Businesses that will have to shut down include wineries, nail and hair salons. Zoos, no out door or indoor dining. Take out only. And thousands of businesses now are bracing for what comes next. We need them significant amount of money to improve the heater lamp and parking lot. And buying new tables. He says they have prepared for out door dining. If the new order goes into effect, restaurants would have to switch to take out only. He says that woul work for some. But not all. We are considering to be closed for maybe two or three months. The new hibernation. Well be closed during winter. And hopefully open in march. If the new rule takes effect, someone offers more help to already struggling businesses. We do need the restaurant act to be passed. And need the government to help us. To be survive. Governor estimated the bay area would be weeks from triggering the order. We spoke with San Francisco director of health. This is time for us to take the actions that we know slow the spread of the virus. Please, i ask San Francisco, people in the region. Do not travel for the holiday. Please to not gather in groups outside your household. I clesed six months. In the financial district, they struggled to survive the pandemic. And they wonder what one more closure might do. We dont have any income. But that would be worse. For the people safety, for the save some lives. I dont mind. For more reaction on the stay at home order were joined by a Infectious Disease specialist. Hang in there. So glad to have you on board. Big announcement from the governor. Well shelter at home if capacity is below 15 . Are you seeing that . It could happen mid to late december in the bay area. Were seeing that in some regions of the area. Gilroy. They are above 90 capacity. Santa clara is really close by. As people are seeing the bay area is not far after that. Close to christmas will be beyond icu capacity. Thats not taking into consideration the thanksgiving surge. I notice he put everybody in regions instead of counties. Is that because you will have to share icu beds like if its over loaded . Your beds could fill up . People get transferred . Yes. Hes trying to look at an average over wider range of geography. So as not to penalize certain counties. Maybe the average will look better. Individual regions are looking worse. Within that big region. Youre right. We will be sharing not only within that region but from other regions too. Imperial county for example back in the day we were taking care of their patients here. But so much of california is breaking point. Theres not much more give to give. We are so close to getting a vaccine. Its weeks away. The governor says this is the darkest part of the pandemic. When people feel like they should ease up. The governor wants to shut it down. Why is that . Is it the right thing to do . The time is critical because we have no choice frankly. We tried to press lightly on the break. On the emergency brake. Theyre pressing hard now. We cannot keep up. So far with what were preventing which is over flooding the capacity of the hospital to compare for patients. Once that gets over a threshold it doesnt matter what drugs you have. Or how many beds you have. In the hospital. Youre going to reach breaking point in terms of ability to take care of patients. It was so sad. The governor mentioned the death toll is rising. Quite significantly. President elect biden today said he would call for a nationwide mask mandate for the first 100 days in office. What do you think about that . I welcome that. For two reasons. First, just a pragmatic reason. If everyone did it in unison, maybe that will actually put a dent into what was happening as a surge. So far we have been acting like different muscles switching and the heart is not being as one essentially. The second reason is its a huge symbol for the leader to make a stance on prevention of a pandemic that killed hundreds of thousands of americans. Eight, nine months later the worst is yet to come. How are you holding up . My mental state is guarded. The hospital is a really spooky place to be. Its early quiet. People are not only hunkering down in terms of doing the best they can in the community. They are hunkering down emotionally. You put emotions on your sleeve and probably wont be able to get through the next month or two. We appreciate you powering through. And all the colleagues there. Thanks so much. First it was Governor Newsom and yesterday the mayor. And now mayor breed. All apologized and promising to do better. The San Francisco mayor part of the scathing editorial in the chronicle on covid hypocrisy. Tweeting today it is fair. It doesnt matter whether something is technically allowed or not. Her dinner last month was allowed. The county was in less restrictive tier. Governor newsom apologized for dining there. With a large group. Mayor breed adds what i especially regret is that the urgency of the our Public Health message in this moment has never been more dire. And my actions have distracted from that. When will we get vaccine specifically . An interview we spoke to top executives. About how they plan to quickly vaccinate people. If you are given approval, how fast will things snap into motion . When will the distribution begin. Hours after the approval. To be able to distribute. How do you spring into action and begin shipping . Like the others were partnered operate warp speed. They want trucks rolling within hours if not a day. You can watch the special edition of date line race for a vaccine tonight at 10 00. Up next. Just like the rest of us. Not really. But in this situation. The royal family will be spending the holiday during the pandemic. After months of deadlock. Top lawmakers are possibly making some head way. With another covid relief bill. House speaker and Senate Majority leader spoke today for the first time in a month. Pressure is mounting to pass a bill to put money in your pocket. Top Democratic Leaders support using a new 900 billion bipartisan frame work as starting point. President trump is promising that he will sign the bill. Into law. All right. Can you zoom with your crown on . The queen is spending her holiday visiting virtually with family. She has been perfecting her skills for 37 years they have been spending the holidays at the queens country home. Two hours outside of london. Now the spokes people tell us the queen and prince who are 94 and 99. Will celebrate quietly in windsor castle. Setting a good standard. Lets talk i cant believe its still fire season. Theres fires in southern california. We can have fire conditions this weekend. Its notd the news we want to deliver. But theres increasing wind in the forecast. Ill detail that for you. We have some tree pictures to share. And well look at the rain out look. Well get it wrapped up. Plus, fire danger in december. It is real. Well find out how local fire crews are preparing for the gusty weekend. Were talking about fire season and fire danger right now. It is with the weather conditions. A wind driven brush fire exploded in southern california. Firefighters in Orange County say the bonfire has quadrupled in size since last night. About 50 miles southeast of downtown l. A. At this hour more than 7,000 acres have burned with 0 containment. Rare fire season during a holiday season. Red flag warning maybe on tap for us. Why firefighters are so worried. Right now the bay area is covered with record dry fuel. Weeds like this. That combined with an expected wind event coming in. Means we can be looking at a red flag warning in december. She loves it here. They have been out enjoying the clear sunny weather every day. Always in the back of my mind is i wish it would rain. We need rain. Lack of rain, low humidity and possible windy weather in the forecast spell a potential disaster in the making. Although its early december, the conditions are such that the fire danger is just as high standing here today as it was a month ago. In october and november. Which typically is consirede the height of the fire seaso red flag conditions have already ledo two destructive fires in southern california. Firefighters there are battling to try to get those under control. We want to avoid that. The conditions look like they will be ripe for fire danger beginning sunday. Keeping their fire stations fully staffed. And firefighters are ready to tackle whatever might break out in the coming days. While wild fires are usually not on peoples radar this time of the year. They need to be. We ask all residents of the district and the entire region to be cautious in out door activity and report any fires immediately. It could be a difficult few days. Lets talk about the odd time to be talking about fire. It really is. Normally we should have had a couple of inches rainfall. And so far we have seen about a quarter to half inch on average. Some of the mountains have seen one to two inches. Way down from normal. Really the time line of what were seeing for the wind is sunday into monday morning. It looks contained to the mountains. All about the area of low pressure diving down the back of california. It develops over nevada. And that counter clock wise circulation around the area of low pressure. That will be driving dry north and east winds. The north bay mown tas would have the high risk of some of the gusty winds. Sunday night and monday morning. On top of that we heard her talk about the dry conditions. The drought isxpan eng. 19. 3 in extreme drought. The red color. Drought is returning to most of the state. We had a dismal rain season. And a low snow pack. Only 52 of normal. We are dry tomorrow. Well start cold. We have been used to that. A refreshing way to begin the day. It will wake you up. Make sure you have a jacket. 37 for the east bay. San francisco 42. North bay 36. Daytime highs rebound into the 60s. Winds will be light across the bay area tomorrow. And mostly sunny. Dan ville coming in at 68 tomorrow. Through the peninsula, more of the 60s. Not too much changes. 65 here in redwood city. San francisco will continue with this trend. 64 down down. Downtown. The north bay have you up to 68 in napa. My forecast keeps it dry. The chance of wind sunday night and monday. For the hills. Inland valley its not too hot. Well stay in the 60s. Morning lows in the 30s to also low 40s. What about those rainfall chances . Youll see in the long range out look all the way through middecember, look for the bright colors in the orange and red. The best chance of rain. Well to the north. On the european model the american model is showing the same thing. Im really looking toward the end of december and early january for the better bet of rain. Lets end on something fun. I have been sharing tree photographs with you. Look at that fantastic tree. Her hash tags here. Really brilliant tree. Beautiful ribbon and bright colors on the treat. I have one more tonight. From our Community Director here. He is the tree guru. Look at that.
