Tonight Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced an executive order closing many nonessential establishments. He says to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, bars, nightclubs, movie theaters and gyms all must close to the public. Dinein restaurants have also been ordered to close and can only sell food for takeout. The order is effective at midnight. Tonight a lot of parents in the bay area are trying to figure out who will watch their kids tomorrow. More than 100 districts across the state are temporarily closing because of the coronavirus crisis. Ktvus greg liggens is in alameda tonight. Reporter the list of closures is very long and some parents are trying to figure out what to do about child care, but theyre also trying to insure that their children continue to learn while theyre out of school. This weekend the nonprofit Bay Area Tutoring Association has been getting a flood of calls for help. The last few days have been unprecedented and the number of phone calls and emails that we received on our website in terms of how can i support my student or how can i make sure that the academic needs of my student will be met over the next several weeks have been incredible. Reporter chris norwood, founding director of the association, says many parents are trying to figure out how to keep their kids learning while they are out of the classroom. He said the current supply of tutors cant meet demand, but people are also contacting the association to help. Weve already started receiving phone calls from people that said i want to volunteer to work with students. It hasnt hit me. It just didnt hit me. Reporter rita lu describes her reaction when she learned her kids school was shutting down at least three weeks, twins that are freshmen in milpitas high. The Online Learning program is not expected to be live till friday. It will be through google classrooms, google hangouts, google docs. Reporter but not all School Systems have easy access to such technology. In fact, some students dont even have adequate nutrition, which is why the Oakland School district will be providing thousands of meals students can pick up at 12 schools beginning tomorrow. Other schools have similar programs. Technology is going to have to be leveraged during this unprecedented time to keep the learning going, but what will be most challenging is figuring out how to continue educating the kids that lack access to modern tools to learn outside of the traditional setting. Those are the folks that we have the opportunity to be the most mindful of right now. Reporter now many School Systems are scheduled to be out for three weeks and we know in that time more and more coronavirus testing will roll out and Health Officials say they expect the number of those positive cases to rise. So some parents are telling me they are looking beyond just three weeks. Thank you, greg.

Most of the passengers and crew disembarked last week and were sent to federal quarantine sites, but about 340 crew members as well as six passengers from other countries remain on board tonight. The governor says once the grand princess leaves the port of oakland the cruise ship will then anchor in San Francisco bay for a twoweek quarantine. Longshore men who work at the port say they are against moving trash to an undisclosed dump site. Union leaders say they were promised the waste would be loaded onto a barge and removed from the bay area by sea. They say the contaminated waste puts port workers and the community at risk. This is presenting a problem. Its presenting a health risk, not only for the workers out here today, but for the community. Theres too much unknown about the coronavirus for us to take these kind of chances. The longshoremen say they want to know where the garbage will be taken to and how it will get there, but they say they have not been able to get any answers and the port of oakland did not return our calls today for comment.

Do not worry about the costs right now because were in the middle of a national emergency. I would make sure every state in the union had at least 10 places where they had drive thru testing arrangements.

So good to finally see those pictures up there and get some rain in the bay area, been waiting a long time for it. Its been a slow winter and the winter really delivered the last 36, 48 hours with 5 feet of snow in some places up around lake tahoe. The winter storm warning stays in effect for the lake tahoe area through tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon more precisely and the snow keeps falling. Its a very productive storm for the mountains, just because of the way its laying out. In terms of rain, not too bad for us either. You can see the showers in the last 48 hours, you can see mt. Tamm coming in about an inch, not a lot more, maybe a half to threequarters inch, but we have more rain coming this week which i think youll appreciate. There are the current rain areas on radar, up in the mountains the winter storm warning. 80 was closed a time today. Theyll be on and off all night up there. Around here san jose, scattered showers, fairfield, hayward. These are showers occurring now and theyll basically hang out for a little bit longer and then as we go into the evening hours, theyll ramp up a little bit towards the morning again. So in the morning i think well see a little wet morning commute. As you go into monday morning, your morning commute looks to be pretty damp. Afternoon commute tomorrow doesnt look half bad. Live camera shot doesnt show the wet, but its wet out there, a very productive storm, best storm this entire season in the bay area and in the mountains. So theres some good news there. When we come back, well look at the latest computer model. An oakland firefighter was injured fighting an Early Morning fire in an abandoned building in the mosswood neighborhood. The fire started about 8 30 this morning on 38th street a few blocks from kaiser hospital. Smoke and flames engulfed the empty twostory brick commercial building which was boarded up. Officials say one firefighter fell partially through the second floor and was taken to the hospital with minor to moderate burns. Crews were then removed from that floor and worked on the first floor to contain the fire. The crews here worked very hard as you were watching and saw to keep it inside the building of origin. We think were ahead of it now. So were able to maintain the integrity of all the surrounding buildings and vehicles in the parking lot. Theres still no word what started the fire or how much damage it caused. In campbell a fire broke out at a shuttered former restaurant. It started before 4 a. M. This morning on East Hamilton avenue at the old elephant bar and grill. Santa clara county firefighters say crews had a tough time getting inside because metal plates were covering the doors and windows. They managed to bring the fire under control in about 30 minutes.

Introducing the allnew lincoln corsair. Now to the democratic debate tonight, former Vice President joe biden and senator Bernie Sanders both tried to say that theyre best positioned to lead the United States through the coronavirus pandemic. Clearly we are not prepared and trump only exacerbates the crisis. The fast moving coronavirus dominated the first one on one faceoff of the 2020 campaign. The debate reflected the way the crisis has changed American Life and how its raising questions by some about President Trumps ability to lead the nation through these turbulent times. The single most significant thing we can do to deal with the larger problem down the road of income inequality is get rid of donald trump. Donald trump, hes exacerbated every single one of these problems, both the immediate urgent need and how were going to hold people harmless for the damage done as a consequence of this virus. Also joe biden announced hell pick a woman as running mate if he wins the democratic nomination. Bernie sanders wouldnt commit to that but said hes leaning in that direction. Before tonights debate a new poll showed biden leading sanders by a 21 margin. The nbc news wall street journal poll found 61 of democratic voters support biden. 32 support sanders. 4 back congresswoman tulsi gabbard. Shes still in the race despite failing to finish in the top three in any primary or caucus. The Washington State primary is still too close to call. Voters went to the polls last tuesday and its been a tight race ever since. Right now joe biden is leading with 37. 7 of the vote. Bernie sanders has 35. 7 . Heres a quick look right now at the delegate count. So far joe biden has 890, Bernie Sanders 736, Elizabeth Warren 72, but she has dropped out of the race and Mike Bloomberg has 61. The magic number to clinch the nomination is 1,991. President trump announced today that he is strongly considering a pardon of former National Security adviser michael flynn. The president tweeted that it is reported that the fbi and Justice Department lost records related to flynn. In 2017 flynn pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators conducting the russia investigation, but in january flynn sought to withdraw his guilty plea alleging fbi misconduct. The Justice Department then abruptly offered a more lenient sentencing recommendation. Flynns sentencing hearing is currently on hold for the time being. Still ahead tonight more coronavirus coverage, coming up how local businesses are taking a creative approach in order to stay afloat. And protecting the most vulnerable during the coronavirus pandemic, the extra precautions Nursing Homes are trying to take to keep the elderly safe. We know what it takes to weather the outbreak. What we dont know is how long this is going to last. Closed captioning for the 10 00 news brought to you by mancini sleep world. Get to the ross spring dress event, where the prices make all the dresses yeses. Yeah save 20 to 60 percent off Department Store prices on our best selection of spring dresses. The ross spring dress event, on now dramatic choir music dramatic choir music dramatic choir music its the rush of relaxation. Introducing the allnew lincoln corsair. What . Oooh. Ahhh. No. Yeah . Yes oh yeah si. Yes. Thats the sound of saving 20 to 60 percent off Department Store prices. At ross. Yes for less. Across the country Nursing Homes are especially vulnerable to the coronavirus. Thats because those most at risk of serious illness or death are the elderly. Our Investigative Reporter with a look at the systemic shortcomings and the efforts to try to stop the spread. Right now there are at least 10 Nursing Homes in Washington State with confirmed cases of the coronavirus. The cdc issued updated guidelines for Long Term Care facilities, but some argue they lack detail and urgency and may be too little too late. Preventing a pandemic from roaming the halls starts with some basic hygiene. We have Hand Sanitizers in the hall. People are washing. Reporter at this berkeley nursing home preparations are similar to previous Virus Outbreaks. Weve shut down activities. Weve had shelter in your rooms. Weve had meals in your rooms. So we know the drill. We have the supplies. We know what it takes to weather the outbreak. What we dont know is how long this is going to last. Reporter its that uncertainty that worries Health Officials. The centers for Disease Control and prevention recommends Nursing Homes have aggressive Visitor Restrictions and enforce sick leave policies for ill health workers. Still with nearly 2. 5 million americans in Long Term Care facilities including 400,000 in california, preventing exposure is tricky. People are left in these facilities with very few other eyes there to catch these Infection Control problems, neglect problems which are really endemic in california. Reporter attorney michael dark is with the california advocates for nursing home reform. He worries understaffing and poor regulation could worsen the spread. I think that communities are going to have to work hand in hand with the government to make sure people arent falling through the cracks. We cant turn our backs on the people in these facilities. Reporter are you worried at all about the coronavirus . No. Reporter why not . I trust this place. Im in a great place. Reporter Margo Bearden has been in this nursing home for a decade and is part of the highest risk group of people in their 80s. Most who live here have heart disease, diabetes or lung disease. Im washing my hands and im washing my face. Reporter despite the best efforts like washing sheets and keeping things clean, Nursing Homes in california are 90 full. It makes social distancing difficult and dangers can exist from outside visitors or patients who transition to and from hospitals bringing germs with them. We have raised the bar regarding infectious Disease Control in our Nursing Homes. Reporter Vice President mike pence announced new guidelines requiring an isolation area for someone who becomes infected and specialized masks, gowns, gloves and eye protection for healthcare workers. Pence says thousands of federal inspectors will check up on Nursing Homes. We are going to focus all of our inspection resources for the foreseeable future on compliance with Infection Control standards. Reporter theres similar protocols used to limit the spread of the flu. The difference is theres a vaccine or other antiviral treatments for that, but for covid19. Theres nothing here. So its just wasp watch and wait and pray. Reporter Early Warning signs are fever, cough or shortness of breath. I live in fear because Nursing Homes have such a vulnerable population and they have such a Bad Reputation all things considered. Reporter Government Data shows 380,000 people die every year from infections in Long Term Care facilities. Critics argue its because some places dont follow proper procedures. For decades now regulators have taken a very lax approach to enforcement of things like Infection Control in these facilities. These are usually treated as paper violations which can be corrected just by the submission of a plan to regulators. Theres often little or no followup and very low fines, if any. Reporter perhaps this is the wakeup call. I have my Hand Sanitizer on my keyring, so i always have it with me. Reporter spreading the message of what to do to prevent spreading the virus. I think were prepared for the worst and hoping for the best. Reporter theres worry theres not enough space in some places to properly quarantine infected people. The cdc says if a designated unit or area is not available, home care is preferred to stop the spread. If my mom or dad was in a nursing home, would i be able to visit them tomorrow . Some Nursing Homes have taken the approach they wont allow any visitors. Others are making you wash your hands, do other things before you visit them, but the governor just said today he doesnt want anyone going in and visiting their loved ones unless theyre in their last days of life. What about inspections, brooks . How often are these Nursing Homes inspected and have they stepped up infections sense the Virus Outbreak . In california they are inspected once a year, but now the president and Vice President want these inspectors to go in and look specifically for any sort of violations as they relate to Infection Control. So they arent looking for abuse or neglect. They are looking to try to contain this virus and prevent it from getting inside more Nursing Homes. Brooks, thank you. Businesses in the bay area are getting creative to try and stay afloat as the coronavirus continues to spread. Starting tomorrow a Mexican Restaurant in alameda will begin no contact deliveries free of charge. La pensa azul says people should call in orders directly to the restaurant. The restaurant says it will ask customers if they would like the Delivery Driver to leave their order by their front door. The service will help people stay healthy and also help its 90 employees who rely on tips to make ends meet. The restaurant is also open for dinein service. This isnt the only Small Business trying to do what they can during the coronavirus crisis. Indoor play studio twirl in alameda will begin delivering at home art and crafts kids for children starting tomorrow. Twirl will be closed through march 27th and the Delivery Service will only be to people in alameda. People who live outside alameda can buy the kits, but you get them through the mail. Alameda schools are closed through april 3rd, but the kits have a one week supply of materials to hopefully help keep the kids busy. Weve lost all our littles. So we kind of came together with our team and tried to figure out a way to bring twirl to the families and how we can help our families at home with our creative kits. Twirl has been open in alameda nearly a decade and offers parties, craft classes and camps. It also offers art classes in alameda schools.

In addition to articles and videos from around the country, youll find a daily live broadcast and weekday beginning at 10 a. M. Still to come how President Trump is handling the coronaVirus Outbreak, plus measures countries in the middle east are taking to keep citizens safe. Weve still got that winter storm warning in the mountains, plus rain falling in the bay area as we go into the rest of this week. Coming up with the different ways to worship, how churches around the bay area are dealing with the ban on large gatherings. Sfo is reminding the public the airport is open despite the fact that people are flying less because of the coronaVirus Outbreak. The airport tweeted video today of crews cleaning the seating area at one of the terminals. Sfo says the staff is working hard to keep all guests, passengers and employees safe. Coronavirus concerns are also driving countries in the middle east to take extreme measures. Israel announced today it is shutting down restaurants and theaters. Iran is worried the pandemic could overwhelm their health facilities. Heres more tonight on the concerns and the closures. Reporter overnight israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a mandate closing all restaurants, cafes and movie theaters in an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus. The Prime Minister also announced that israel will use Antiterror Technology to track coronavirus patients and release their whereabouts to the public. Israels Health Ministry is now reporting more than 200 cases with a mandatory 14 day self quarantine is in place for anybody entering the country. Translator Going Forward what is production to commerce for services, it will continue but with restrictive conditions meaning we are not strangling. We are tightening in order to preserve as much as possible the distance of two meters between people. Further east in iran more than 12,000 cases are being reported. Over the weekend the World Health Organization said more needs to be done to stem the outbreak in the islamic republic. The regime is calling for all american sanctions to be lifted since iran has the Third Largest number of cases behind china and italy. Satellite imageries first reported by the Washington Post show burial pits for the hundreds of coronavirus victims in iran. Countries like france and spain are joining israel in tight restriction closing down public spaces. Similar measures are not being taken in the United States. The bottom line is many virologist and doctors agree the United States needs to be taking more restrictive measures in places weve seen like france and israel. The more the United States allows people to congregate in places like cafes and restaurants and st. Patricks day celebrations, the more people will be infected and a percentage of those people are going to die. Voters are split on how President Trump is handling the coronavirus pandemic in the United States. A new poll from nbc news and the wall street journal shows 45 of voters approve of the job President Trump is doing. 51 disapprove of the president s leadership amid the covid19 crisis. The poll also shows 81 of self identified Republican Voters approve of how the president is handling the situation while 84 of democrats disapprove. Federal officials, urging healthcare workers across the country to change a critical part of their protective gear during this pandemic. The cdc is now telling those workers to switch from respiratory facemasks to looser surgical masks. The goal is to head off the threat of a mask shortage during the pandemic. Many doctors and nurses are worried that theyll be less protected when treating highly infectious coronavirus patients.

We typically have about 3,000 people on campus each weekend with kids and adults and so now theyre going to be watching online hopefully. Many places of worship moved online to avoid large crowds. Attendees can still hear scripture, listen to music and interact with their religious community through live streams.

Nike employees in the United States have been given the option to work from home or work staggered schedules. Looking back at the rainfall totals from the last 48 hours weve got some good rain, Santa Cruz Mountains coming up on 2 1 2 inches of rain, oakland over an inch of rain, santa rosa almost a half inch of rain. Probably the best winter storm weve seen this season in terms of productivity for rainfall rate and also for snow in the mountains. Were talking about 5 feet of snow up there easy the next couple days. Its going to continue to snow. This type of system really does favor the lake tahoe area because as the pulses come through, they stack up on the west slope. You can see it here all stacked up where down here its more broken up. So thats the plan. More snow, that winter storm warning stays in effect until 5 00 tomorrow. Travel plans up there, a little bit dicey certainly. Scattered showers off San Francisco right now, more scattered showers in marin, see some stuff out by rio vista, just wet out there. Tomorrow mornings commute will be wet as well. Overnight lows reflect the cloud cover and rain and we have kind of a wet week coming up, a lot of clouds, a little sunshine at times, kind of like today. Its going to be a little bit of everything this week and its going to be umbrella weather certainly the next 48 hours. Youll have to have an umbrella. It will come and go. Towards the end of the week youll see it breaks off and less likely to see showers. Overnight lows where they have been, daytime highs tomorrow generally in the 60s, 50s and the sky looks like that with clearing in the afternoon, lunchtime and then later in the day some more clearing but still a chance of a shower, some sun showing up late day as well. The afternoon commute looks dry. That low Pressure Center is i dont want to say culprit because its what we needed. A couple more of these would be great going through march, but the way it works out, today we had isolated showers, morning showers. Now were getting this sector, that main blob going through, now were getting into this. This is the forecast model, but see how the impulses fly through. They stack up on the west slope. Its going to keep snowing.

Those are the two things theyre considering at this point. Lets hope everything can move along quickly and we get past all this stuff and back to life as we know it. For all aspects of life.
