Starting today, Sonoma County is going to be put on the States Coronavirus watch list because the case is increasing conference will tran is live in petaluma with what that means well. That means bad news for over the past several weeks theyve enjoyed having people inside to dine and as diners they loved it too because his was a win when they get to go back to what. Is a new normal and they get some business but unfortunately now with the watch list in effect they will be closed for at least the next 3 weeks because the cases. They just didnt go up they exploded take a look at your screen we are going to give you whole bunch of numbers to digest. Here are the numbers that facts governor of the state that they are relying on to make their decisions so back in early june there was sitting at 20 cases for every 100,000 residents that is super because the benchmark is 100 cases so they were well below that well as of this morning, theyre sitting at 111 cases that is a hot spot, 42 cases just on thursday and since the pandemic started Sonoma County has done a great job is trying to keep that deaths down of course every death is tragic. But overall the numbers are low 14 deaths and then all of a sudden on june 28 9 people died out of that 14 people altogether in Sonoma County and that is why the board of supervisors in Sonoma County they decided to go ahead and roll back some of those things that the restaurants, the museums that places that enjoyed people going inside that theyre not being able to do that keep in mind just like i did yesterday napa county the key word is indoor. You can still go out and grab take out you can still hopefully find a restaurant where you can dine outside the patio were talking indoor facilities where you can not sit down and then just have a good time with your family and friends and a chance to talk to some people in Sonoma County.

Theyre on a watch list, some of the things that are being bounced around possibly issuing tickets are people not wearing their masks when they can not have social distance so lots going on in Sonoma County a lot of people james darya disheartened because they thought they did such a great job keeping the numbers down one of the better counties in california and then all of a sudden over the past 5 weeks the cases just didnt go up they went up 5 100 .

If you choose you kids the option of hearing the. Whoa. Or whatever you want you know i dont need to live in up my living room given to the players.
