The United States has seen a steady increase in Coronavirus Infections and hospitalizations for the entire month of october now and this is a map sort of showing you the increase in cases as were seeing it been flow around different parts of the country now 5 states which are indicated in red here primarily on the east coast and down to the south of those are where weve seen a 50 or more increase compared to the week before 35 states are more on that orange color that includes california and those are where states have seen a 10 to 50 increase in infections will only 9 that are actually in yellow and thats where levels have been Holding Steady not going up not going down and only one state missouri in green work numbers are actually going down which is the direction we want everybodys numbers to go. Nearly 80,000 new cases have been as of yesterday alone and that pushes the u. S. Total now infections to 8. 8 million at least 227,000 people have died since february. Heres where california and the bay area stand in terms of the coronavirus numbers weve got a total of 920,000 plus cases across the state of california with more than 17,000 deaths and for the bay area more than a 114,000 confirmed cases with more than 1700 deaths from covid19 that was a scary. James and weve got a scary outbreak. Hospital in the bay area ucsf med center has seen an outbreak of their hospital in San Francisco is Contact Tracing because staff and patients have tested positive for covid kron 4 Sarah Stinson is live there with the latest on many people we talking about. 5 people daria to patients and 3 employees here at the Ucsf Medical Center and theyre trying to figure out where this local spread originated that is the concern you want to make sure you figure out exactly who patients 0 was it wasnt just cut and dry figuring this out we know that too as i said 2 patients were sharing a room and then 3 employees who cared for them tested positive both patients tested negative for coronavirus before being admitted to the hospital later one unexpectedly tested positive on the routine discharge test this set off an investigation and contract Contact Tracing helped identify the other cases. Take a look at the statement from Ucsf Medical Center saying we have not yet determined. The original source or exact sequence of these infections however we have isolated these patients and employees and are working to identify and test quarantine other individuals who may have been exposed to them who have symptoms or who have symptoms at last check the hospital says neither patient has symptoms of coronavirus but the employees have mild symptoms so far ucsf says theres no evidence of spread to any additional patients or staff or at this union or others the state and City Health Departments have been informed about this they said since the beginning of this pandemic theyve been doing all the right protocols enforcing the mask protocol making sure that employees are routinely checked every single day. Doing those screenings but unfortunately, this spread it validates peoples concern about going to a hospital during a pandemic this is the second spread ive seen in in the bay area at a hospital the other one being in santa rosa. So its definitely of concern and will continue to follow this story. Theyre still investigating this heavily to make sure they can figure out the original source for now reporting live in San Francisco Sarah Stinson back to you know what it makes me wonder if sarah you said that all of the hospital staff are tested every day. But the patient was tested on their way out so i wonder if theyre going to maybe Start Testing the patients every day as well. Well the the people who work here they get screened for sure i dont think they but they get screen and so the people who come to the loss of the patients they for sure get tested, yeah and out, but if this patient went in as a negative is a positive yeah into the test was wrong or they got it inside the hospital from an employee or but dont forget or you know its a given snapshot of that day so they may have just not tested positive yet you know you to write next day you can be positive the nexus repay a tricky thing and as scary thing when it to the hospital. Thanks so much sara james yeah, well, 6 06 here lets go to the east bay Republic Health officials in Alameda County have given. Middle and high schools, the okay to reopen, but dont look for any Public Schools to reopen their doors any time soon we have kron fours dan kerman to explain why public Health Officials have given high schools and middle schools across Alameda County. The okay to open their doors for in Person Learning as early as november 9th, but first they will need to submit and get approval of a safety plan what we do is were looking at it for completeness do you have things in place that Public Health has said that you need to have in place you have enough opportunities for people to wash their hands do have protocol testing do you personal protective all of those things are what were looking for when the school says were ready to open but the safety plan is only part of it. They must also reach an agreement with individual teachers unions. We all want to be back there. We describe our job right now is teaching on like Hollywood Squares teaching to square. We want to teach students into 3 dimensions and i think thats what our goal is we want to do it correctly and dublin, Teachers Association president robby crites says Teachers Want to work with districts on those plans to make sure when they do return it will be safe for both students and teachers are these rules going to be enforced these guidelines going to be held to do we have ppe and surplus in a warehouse somewhere so that we can. Keep replenishing glass and masks and all of that. I do we i think that that its the reality versus whats on paper and i think thats where we have to get down to work. There are also issues with logistics and scheduling. Well Elementary School students stay with the same teacher all day, middle and high School Students typically change classes throughout the day that will have to be addressed were really looking how do we do this in a smart way in an incremental way really for the kids who most in need of that kind of instruction or special ed student starting this English Learners kids who we know are not connecting virtually we really have to see those students again. Now its conceivable many of these middle schools and high schools will not open before the end of the year because they wont have their plan in place consider this Elementary Schools that got the go ahead to open up as early as october 13th. Well now here on the 28th, only 58 schools have either opened or submitted a plan to open and only one of those is a public school. In berkeley Dan Kerman Kron 4 news. All right were wondering about schools forget about halloween because its an optional thing and they do not want your trick or treating or going to the castro. Its a major hot spot and instead, you know for for a party rally instead this year, the closing at yeah and for obvious reasons they i mean they outbreak is set happening the second wave ravaging the country right now kron fours will tran live in the castro with more on the citys warning will. While the second wave is happening across the country were doing well in San Francisco, which is why they dont want to go backwards the Castro District has been historically one of the Biggest Party places for halloween. Every year. Let me show you some video of years pass this is the reason why they dont want people to show up because people are shoulder to shoulder there are thousands of people in such a small location and they shut it down back in 2006 because of violence and destruction this year they dont want people to show up because of those reasons and you add on top of that covid19 they dont want San Francisco which is moving into the yellow here to go backwards when it comes to the fight against covid19 take a look at your screen. This is the supervisor who handles the Castro District. Heres what he had to say about the celebrations he says across the country. And cities like philadelphia, los angeles cases are surging due at least in parts of people gathering in large and small groups if that happens in San Francisco. We may have to choose once again between saving lives and shutting down now halloween is not canceled of course you are allowed to party for halloween, but theyre encouraging people not just in San Francisco, but all over california and the country just do it with your immediate family or your social bubble back to you.

Frustrating and expensive that and now okay and that weeds so efforts to trap the animal so far have been unsuccessful kron fours rob fladeboe takes a look at plan b. You are looking at a sample of the damage done by some 2 dozen feral pigs that are paying nightly visits to the coyote creek golf course here in south san jose. They are coming out of the surrounding wild lands in routing up the rough and fairways in search of grabs in the soil says general manager mike fish use like you took a rotor tiller. The redditor wrote attorney hillar for your front lawn and you. Roeder told your front lawn thats what our golf course looks like when these picks are done its not a new problem, but the wily nocturnal pigs and grown wise to traps and fences. We need to send the herd says San Jose City councilman johnny say they have very little natural predators and meet their prolific breeders and they have big litters you know so they can multiply quite quickly since the shooting firearms is illegal inside city limits cameras and others proposed hiring an archer to kill the pigs but that too has been rejected. The city says its too risky with highway one o one nearby and wounded pig is a dangerous pig meanwhile, the damage is adding up. We probably spend just in labor replacements odd seed turf repair. Id say probably could be 50,000 a month these pigs are not just heart causing harm to that you know the city. Grasses and laws in you know and that golf courses theyre actually destroying Wildlife Habitat for you know the native species as well cameras would like to see the county reinstate a discontinued program that had some success setting they heard several years. Most of trying coyote creek is not trapped a single pigs so far we could get hunt them in the in the traditional form. We would have this big problem settled probably in a week. But theres nothing we can do about so we just got to sit back and let him damage or golf course in their prime repair the next day. Since the pigs are nocturnal animals. They are no threat to the golfers here during the day. The general manager here tells me that at once the oak trees in the area dropped their acorns the traditional food for pigs. He suspects the animals will then leave the golf course alone, at least until next year in san jose rob fladeboe kron 4 news. Lisa have play bad, i feel like i.

Russell wilson and the seahawks cool raw versus wilson who would you bet on well, heres the niners coach talking up the opposition. Last year the niners and the outgoing head coach. He has over time has been going back to washington see state. I mean hes always been such a poise player that the game just seem slow motion for. When youre a player who seems like you can play in slow motion. You see so much stuff you let the game come tia and just how long hes been doing it, i mean whether doing and read them are doing it off schedule. I seen so many different defenses his plate are so many different players and when you have the skill city does have the mindset. He doesnt have the experience he does thats usually what happens. And when you have the record that they do in the seahawks are doing really well the niners, not so much kickoff is one 25 sunday afternoon james all right well the raiders are also going to be on the road as well taking on the Cleveland Browns come sunday, the raiders are coming off a bad loss as we know theyre trying to get back into the groove of things for the season. But this year the browns are no cakewalk so this is going to be pretty tough matchup we actually have some gameplay footage of the browns from last sunday, their quarterback Baker Mayfield yeah, hes led the browns to a 5, 2, record so far this season. So the raiders defense has to be ready to stop him and his offensive weapons and then of course the raiders head coach jon gruden says that the browns defense will not make it easy for them to score rights. Think number one a Cleveland Browns generate generated 14 turnovers off from their defense and you can put the yards per and that you can talk about that stat all you want they have set him up i would good field position at times and they can run the ball and those are 2 great ingredients. You know get the ball, good field position running the football, but this guys excellent quarterback. Hes proven he complained anybody system.
