But it looks like the Berkeley Unified School district there giving a strong indicator robin marty that the very least they will not return to school on after the first week of april and that was the plan a couple of weeks ago before the coronavirus pandemic just exploded to epic portions that at this particular time the Berkeley Unified School district they are indicating giving clues that they will not return because theyve already announced that they will feed the needy families starting on friday through spring break. They will give the families meals to take home for talking. Breakfast and lunch and then after that starting on april 6 they will invite families not even in berkeley have nothing to do with the Unified School District for them to stop by certain locations for them to pick up meals as well for their needy family at the Berkeley Unified School district they are aware of the situation. They are trying to follow the governors lead, but theyre also monitoring what other School Districts are doing and many of the School Districts in california theyve already said that they will not return to school by the end of april so its something that theyve already said theres a sign in front of the Unified School District right at the window, this says closed until further notice. Well at this particular point it looks like and many parents are hoping before all of this exploded that the kids would return back to school after the first week of april but it looks like right now as far as the Berkeley Unified School district that is not going to happen.

And next the hour or so but speaking of his ability levels by the way lets go and check that out it actually may get a little worse before it gets better over the next couple of hours. But certainly by noon even though rain and clouds will be stored our future. Were going look at things cleared off the fog standpoint and again when the sun pokes out we have this cold air aloft so thats going to help drive some Thunder Showers.

While you were sleeping, there are more closures now in effect in the bay area to try and stop the spread of the coronavirus that includes parking lot closures at beaches in pacifica want to go now to kron 4 Sarah Stinson who is live in pacifica with the latest good morning sara. Marty is live at Rockaway Beach a beach that has also have their parking lot closed. But im also now live at pacifica beach we can see theres already a roadblock up for the parking lot in this is all because the city pacifica wants people to stop gathering at their beaches take a look at your screen. We have a list of the beaches that will have blocks at them you can says where im at pacifica state beach north and south lot will be closed parking lot in front of and behind the pacific a Community CenterRockaway Beach north and south lots Council Chambers lot on beach boulevard fishermans lot in the 800 block of palmetto avenue now this comes after Gavin Newsome a he put out his our governor he closed all of the parking lots at the state beaches in state trails because over the weekend we saw a lot of people gathering which means they werent keeping their 6 feet of distance you are told to stay at home and only drive for essential needs this doesnt mean that the beach is an essential need and its kind of interesting because i think a lot of people are learning that they need to drive to go do what they like to do for recreation but living in the bay area theres a lot for us to do within walking distance of our home. So the best thing to do is to walk outside your home go for a walk here pacifica a lot of People Living near the beach so they can just walk here and that will mean less people will be at the beach rather than having people from all over the bay area say on a beautiful bright sunny day family go drive to pacifica which really beats the purpose of stay at home. We did talk to some beachgoers who uh you know theyre disappointed but they understand. They were people on the beaches and i did not notice a lot of social distancing. And that was the problem there was no social distancing, but even when i was a golden gate park, an example as i was trying to keep my distance up also getting some Outdoor Recreation but they came to certain points where i was almost coming shoulder to shoulder with other people and that is a concern so you want to stay at a distance from people get some exercise walk the dog walk with your children, but when you come down here to pacifica youre going to notice there are roadblocks in the parking lot will be no parking it will be interesting to hear how people feel about that here pacifica so hopefully we can talk with some people at a distance of course and see how theyre feeling about this im sure some surfers from not pacifica will be a little bombed for now ill send it back to you guys in the studio hampshire, they will be sarah. Thanks a lot for that live report from pacifica probably remember us all the time marty one beach thats that surf in your own bedroom its a its difficult you know maintaining social distancing in public. Can be a real challenge, especially in crowded places like Grocery Stores right, which is why many stores are changing their guidelines for the customers so whole foods theyre limiting the number of people who go inside and then those outside theyre being told to you know keep your distance from each other dont stand too close. Similar lines can be found at the San Francisco trader joes take a look in here, theres a team member his making sure that the customer stay informed about you know what theyre running out of what they dont have. But one of our viewers named just he told us about some stories that are not following the rules are going the extra mile specifically this costco in san jose. This is. That kind of makes you cringe dry. I keep a little stash my purse for that very reason safeway whole foods and trader joes just to name a few. They say that they are also doing enhanced. Cleaning of the stores during this pandemic and many stores are also offering special hours just for seniors, which is very important. Well in the east by a local Delivery Company that once served School Lunches is now taking grocery orders online. Its called choice lunch and the ceo justin gag and he launched a noncontact drivethru Grocery Pickup Service at the companys headquarters and daniel this is a great idea. So customers you know you place your order online and then you just go to the drive up you pick up their groceries. They have employees. Theyre theyre waiting for you. Theyre wearing gloves and homemade mask and they will place orders right in the back of your car within 3 minutes. Its pretty quick. Its great to support a local business and its wonderful that theyre able give us the opportunity to get fresh groceries when its so hard to get them right now.
