Reporting live in sacramento, Ashley Zavala kron 4 news. Thank you so much ashley now the United States has reached a very grim milestone tonight there are now more than 1 million cases of coronavirus in our country. According to Johns Hopkins university on april 10th. There were 500,000 cases we have double that number in just 18 days. This virus is also killed over 58,000 people across the country here in california there are now more than 46,000 cases and over 1800 people have died. Some states have already begun the process of reopening their economies and that may lead 2 more people dying from covid19 a new model is now projecting that 74,000 americans will lose their lives to the virus. This summer. This projection was by the university of washington and that shows about 74,000 americans will lose their lives to this virus by august. Last week that number was around 67,000 s. President donald trump is expected to sign an executive order to compel Meat Processing plants to remain open amid the coronavirus pandemic Meat Processing plants in several states have either shut down or limited production after some factories turned into coronavirus hot spots. Those closures leaf farmers with no where to send their pigs. Chickens are cattle which could force them to euthanize millions of animals. An executive order however would mean that Meat Processing plants become Critical Infrastructure and the jobs with their full become essential.

Now lets get a break down by county you can see it on your screen. Santa clara county continues to be the hardest hit with more than 2000 cases and over 100 people have died there. You can get a complete list of cases broken down by county and city all of that information is on our website kron 4 dot com. Now majority of the bay area will remain under a stay at home order until june and joining us live now is oakland mayor libby shaft to give us an update on how the city is sir arriving the coronavirus pandemic thank you so much for joining us here on kron 4 news at 5. Well thanks for having me so were supposed to find out later on this week, what these lowrisk activities were going to be able to start to do again thats what those coalition of perry county said yesterday but since i have you here now can you shed some light on what that means what are these lowrisk activities that were going to be able to start to do again. Well that is absolutely up to the Health Office or not the politicians and thats the way it should be. This is about science and not what we all wish were the case and so that is why its our job even though this is so difficult for us to follow the advice of the scientist and the health professionals, even though its hard i know this weekend we saw too many crowds at lake merritt i keep on asking people to please get the lake a break. We have to continue to practice social distancing. But it is im hopeful that some low risk. Economic activities, im hoping construction will be one of them can start up again because a lot of people are out of work. Youre talking about that hashtag you started a give the lake a break. The asking people to wear masks and stay 6 feet away from each other when theyre at lake merritt was packed its beautiful outside we get it people are having cabin fever they want to get outside. But when is in forsman going to start if youre not seeing people following these basic rules. You know if we say flagrant violations and repeat violations we will have to resort to enforcement but right now i dont think giving somebody a ticket when they are an employee is very productive. Heather were arming our Police Officers with masks so that we can actually help people cover up and then we are rolling out some more slow streets this weekend in a very Popular Program so go to the citys website. So you can chime in on which treats you like to see shut off to through traffic again local traffic still ok, but gives us space to spread out to lock by ron with our families in a socially distanced way in every neighborhood so not everybody has to go to the lake. Theyve also created a Racial Disparity task force because as you pointed out here on kron 4 that people of color. Are dying at a much higher rate from coronavirus because so many of them are central workers that puts them on the front lines that on top of that they dont have Health Insurance or the privilege of staying home. So you want to this task force to look at data outreach and then services so how is that outreach portion going we know you are trying to open up a new coronavirus testing site in east oakland next week is that part of this. Absolutely. And the data shows us its not just higher risk because of occupation or exclusion from Health Care Coverage it also has to do with environmental factors that plague, certain neighborhoods as well as what we have well documented that underlying risk conditions like diabetes and heart and lung disease. Show a 2 to 3 times more in for example, the africanamerican and native communities than in other groups and so we know that these groups are going into this pandemic already at higher risk and what were doing we are really trying to get testing to where our most vulnerable are asked us we launched a mobile testing unit with our partners at Roots CommunityHealth Clinics and were starting on a really wonderful way to out means directly to people that might not have as good access to information with the great oakland check and we actually are going to have person to person phone calls starting in some of our most vulnerable communities. So we also want to take this information from your task force and apply it now during the pandemic but how can you use it to make permanent changes in the community. Well that is what is special about this task force its not just a Rapid Response to what is on the ground that this pandemic now it its about taking this moment of awareness that the whole country is experiencing. Seen these shameful disparity in impacts of this disease and pushing legislation to require these kinds of outcomes be just aggregated by race so that we get measured these disparities looking at issues like access to healthy food which drives Different Health outcomes as well as environmental factors peoples access to safe places to exercise healthy parks in their neighborhood this is not just about Health Insurance or health access. Its about the kinds of environments that we create in different parts of our city and though should be much more equitable and those are the kind of policies were going to be pushing at the state and even federal level lets learn from this experience were happening and make some permanent changes. And so many businesses are closed in oakland right now the city is now looking at a major tax shortfall so how is the city preparing for a possible. Drastic service cuts and even layoffs and the Police Department or in city hall. Well i will say it is very painful for mayor to preparing our next budget right now. Youre probably going to see my draft budget not until about may 22nd. But i am really looking at some difficult choices. I will say that oakland is in a stronger financial position than it was when we went into the great recession. We do have a Rainy Day Fund that was established not too long ago. We have certain policies that weve been addressing some of our longterm unfunded liabilities that have put us in a much stronger position this time around i am definitely going to be trying to preserve all the services because people need their government now more than ever. And so that is definitely the value that we will go into this budget process it. And they need their jobs. The city is doing well overall and you can see all things considered. Well, you know oakland is an incredible resilient place we lead with our values and i that our city workers have really just shown up in this moment. I keep challenging us to be the Silver Lining city. The silver with in this otherwise tragic moment for us, does have potential gifts. So for example take the awareness around Racial Disparities in health and use that to make permanent corrections the digital divide, lets not just lend kids laptops chromebooks let us close that gap for ever. So these are the things like the slow streets where some neighborhoods are saying you know what when this house prices goes away. I like my street like this lets keep this right. Yeah, there could be some really positive changes that come out of all of this. And i appreciate you joining us here on kron 4 news at 00 05am tonight thats oakland mayor libby shaft stay well wash your hands. I think it i will.
