Hi sarah. And there. Yeah, the reason San Mateo County heading into the orange shares because the case rate is 3 cases per 100,000 people and that means that restrictions are loosening i mean take a look at this were used to this Outdoor Dining right.

Reporting live in San Mateo CountySarah Stinson kron 4 news, thanks. A lot sarah. Time now 7 04 and in the east bay, many Business Owners in Contra Costa County are also enjoying the fact that they can begin to reopen slowly as well. The county has that the county has been moved into the orange here as we mentioned that allows more businesses and restaurants to open their doors to and more indoor operations in fact up to 50 capacity for restaurants, while easing restrictions does help the economy local county leaders say the covid19 obviously is still here and they still need to be vigilant. I just want to remind people we got here by being vigilant we got here by doing things like wearing our masks washing your hands, staying home and we werent feeling. Well avoiding large groups. And thats how he got her number so low, so my only had only message is we got here by doing these very simple things we need to keep our guard up we need to be vigilant. Well marin county in the north bay also moved into the orange here or the moderate covid19 tear yesterday time now 7 05 and another big story is danville theyre not going to be opening up their streets on the weekends anymore no a lot of people have the repeatedly been violating the mask rule the social distancing rule there and so theyre clamping back down again kron fours will tran live in danville to explain well. Star you see that car going by just now thats whats going to happen over the weekend the party is over the city of danville they allow the restaurants in this location to close it down to give the whole street to allow people to social distance unfortunately, so many people showed up and such a small space the restaurants did not crack down on it even though they were told. Repeatedly you have to be better and thats why the city of danville says enough is enough they are pulling the plug on this particular location. Let me quickly pull up a map you so you know my location is just to write off a 6. 80. This is parts avenue and they have shut it down in june between prospect and diablo its only one city block that is a very prosperous block in terms of restaurants and a lot of people showing up. So long as they practice social distance, but they have seen over the past few months theyve seen fights in this location. They have told the restaurants about for them to practice social distance, according to the city the restaurants told them we will be better. But were not better then they saw fights then they saw 35 covid cases in the span of 2 weeks and thats why they have the blessing of the Police Department to shut it down as far as the party to open up the street the barriers will be removed. So moving forward over the weekend, no longer shut down. No more mardi gras feel and i can tell you i can attest i was here around june or july. I was here i had my mask on practice social distance and yes, it was a party like feel that no more james you talked about it right before you came out to me the Contra Costa County is trying to be careful. According to the city of danville they dont want this location and all of those covid cases to bring down the entire county. Back to you. Thank you very much for that well news to loosen up as far as the risks of covid and being allowed to do more things Solano County could be moving backwards because theyve seen an increase in cases concours taylors sacking has more. Over the last 2 weeks county saw spike in coronavirus cases. Averaging about 40 cases per day for them to stay in the red here which is where they are now they need to get under 31 cases per day this is something that businesses indonesia say is crucial for their survival. After seeing a rise in coronavirus cases Solano County is moving in the wrong direction, heading backwards from the state spread here to its most restrictive purple tier it is definitely disappointing because i working in to see people is misses in benicia say. The jump in cases is disheartening not only for the community, but also for the lifeblood of the local economy purple tier prohibits most not essential indoor Business Operations and would cause some businesses to close or change their current plans, everybody does need to do their and be diligent and especially right now we are in normals flu season. And so taking just extra is going to help our little businesses in town stand business Solano CountyHealth Officer doctor balan muchas warns that the county has to get its act together unfortunate reality is that we are seeing case numbers that are higher than they should be for us to remain in red and unfortunately that puts us at risk of going back in the purple. You know the cause of it is obviously people getting together with family and friends and letting their guard down so that disease spreads and we had several weeks ago several large as ants that we believe accounted for that spike that theyre not just says the spike could be temporary at least hes hoping thats the case he points to several recent events as examples of behavior that is detrimental to the countys progression in reopening a wedding at a home with 40 people no social distancing no and then there was some type of the news sent invitation only event was a large number of people again no social distancing and we had dozens of cases from these events doctor much as says the county was averaging 27 positive coronavirus cases per day about a month ago, but in the last 2 weeks that number jumped to 41 positive cases per day number that would put the county back on the states purple terror list. If they get the same results next week now to stay in that red here hopefully Solano County can get its case numbers back to under 31 cases. Per day its also another important reminder ahead of halloween and the holidays, keep your guard up continue practicing social distancing and of course wear mask.
