Most california schools will likely remain closed for the rest of the school year because of coronavirus that is according to. Governor Gavin Newsome he made the comments during an update on californias response to covid 19 he also touched on the rapidly changing rules for california and frustration said a lot of people have with that. This is a very sober thing to say and i can say this with certainty but i can say this quite learned late. Dont anticipate schools are going to open up in a week. Please dont anticipate in a few weeks and i say that because one needs to be honest and i need to be accountable to you i want to mislead you to 6 plus million kids in our system and their families they need to make some plans at a time when a lot of plans are already being curtailed the planning with kids some of the most challenging planning. I would plan in assume, and its unlikely. Many of these schools, a few if any will open up before the summer break and as a consequence of that i also want to make this announcement working with the guidance of our superintendent Public Education and linda darling hammond. We think it is totally inappropriate for kids to worry about coming back and being tested. So its very least. Let our kids know from a social emotional perspective nothing else and an equity lens. They were not going to be requiring testing as long as our waiver that we are formally requesting of the federal government is supporting i have all the confidence in the world it will be. But let folks know that those families like teachers and let our classified employees know that you shouldnt worry about coming back and the s a t a t a c t and p exams and all these other exams when you already have things i d. Up to this moment. So thats it on the education side. As well. And i just want to close by making this point in recognition. The state put out guidelines. It puts out Broad Strokes of where we think we should go and where we anticipate a we are heading. It is by definition adaptable and its adaptive on the basis of whats happening by day. Today and as a consequence these guidelines change and one should expect to continue to change we want to socialize that we want people to come to understand that not be fearful about that as an example i just for uc mind you it seems the year ago was just a week ago we had guidelines in this gatherings, larger than 500 should be canceled some states one of the first to say it should be to 50 some cities and said what should be a 100 other said it should be 50 cdc guidelines couple days later cdc says it should be 10 people i know thats frustrating for people that want to know what is it and i think people should just get a sense and understanding that everybody is understanding whats happening in real time and these things must adapt to the moment. As we mentioned at the top of this newscast in the last half hour, San Francisco mayor london breed gave an update on the shelterinplace order in the city mayor breed said there were a few adjustments and clarifications on that mandate, heres what she said. Thanks to governor Gavin Newsome we have the ability. And we have issued a directive on a commercial even shuns as well and so we wanted to make sure. That businesses as well as residents are not. Who will be impacted most likely sadly due to a loss of income the last thing they need is any vick shun in the midst of this crisis and so the fact that we were able to. Put a moratorium on both residential and commercial evictions in the city will hopefully have an impact on supporting our spa business communities and in talking with a doctor grant cold facts too is currently at our Emergency Operations center is clear that we need more capacity. In our Health Care System to deal with the potential challenges, including hiring more nurses and healthcare workers. And so today i wave the provisions around hiring rules. So that we can hire qualified registered nurses on the spot. We know that this process typically unfortunately through our city bureaucracy can take up to 6 months. So instead of going to that normal process. We will act now and we will not waste time and we will get those qualified. Health care workers up and running as quickly as possible sfmta will stop issuing tickets related to street sweeping and will waive tickets that were given out today. We understand for people who are quarantine it may be impossible for them to move their cars. However for those of you who can move cars doing street cleaning we asked you do it helps us to continue to keep the streets clean. As much as we possibly can your full cooperation would be appreciated at this time, but we wanted to be clear that we wont be issuing tickets for st. Cleaning. In terms of the cannabis dispensaries the department of Public Health today clarified that sense cannabis has medical uses dispensaries will be allowed to operate as essential businesses just as pharmacies are allowed to do.
