California is offering help to workers supporting the states food chain. A new executive order calls for two weeks of supplemental pay for leave for food and farm workers. The number of patients hospitalized declined by. 9 . Icu cases are up 17. 4 . While the state discusses easing shelter in place restrictions, there is now a big question about what happens when people start taking Public Transportation again. Kpix 5s katie kneel ton is outside the bart station to tell us how some agencies are already making changes. Katie . Reporter yeah, ken, bart told us their ridership is down 96 from this same time last year. So social distancing on the trains is not an issue. But the big question is whats going to happen when people need to go back to work . . Reporter trains across the bay area where early empty, only a handful of riders in each car. We have so many fewer passengers and longer trains that is creating the opportunity to socially distance. Bart has not implemented a set limit to the number of passengers allowed on each train, saying its not an issue right now due to the drop in ridership. This morning only the most crowded train cars only had about 20 people on board. But they released new limits on how many rider on each bus to keep social distance. On a 30 feet of bus, only 6 passengers allowed on board. But the 40foot coach, the limit is 10. The 60foot articulated bus will carry 16 people and the double decker bus will only hold 24. Ensuring the safety of all of our riders and employees are our paramount focus. Most are empty as well, but what happens when people need to get back to work and still maintain social distance . Transit agencies say they dont know how to handle that. We dont know precisely what that will look like down the line. How do we build our service to accommodate those changes in employees returning to work . And its really difficult to speculate as to what life will be like when some of these shelter in place restrictions are rolled back. We will take it as it comes. We like are i sa.

A critical step toward reopening california is dramatically increase testing. There are some giant hurdles to accomplish that, but kpix 5s anchor alan martin shows also there is a potential game changer right here in the bay area. To beat the pandemic, you have to know where its incubating. The only way to know if you are infected is to test it. In california less than 1 of residents have been tested and thousands of results are pending. Testing is a huge bottleneck right now. Dr. Janice chen is the chief officer for science offices in San Francisco. Along with usc, they have come up with a new diagnostic test. The test we have come up with leveraging in powerful technology. The test is among the first to use a gene targeting technology known as crisper. It seeks out two specific genetic targets always found on this virus. We can simply type in the letters of where we want that crisper missile to hit. Hit the target and you are positive for the virus. This one known as detector doesnt need special equipment or hard to find chemicals in short supply. Not only that, dr. Chen explains its fast. So we have been able to show less than 40 minute turn around time. Dr. Charles chu is currently validating the test.
