So thank you very much for being here today. Good morning. Im the director of health. I would like to thank mayor breed for her leadership in aggressively preparing for this epidemic, San Francisco is the vanguard of taking action early and continuously to respond to this rapidly resolving situation. I also want to thank director marion carol for her partnership in leading the Emergency Response and all of the city departments who are coming together to Work Together to do everything we can to support san San Francisco residents. I want to thank the members of the community who are my public heros in doing everything they can. Thank you all for coming here today and supporting San Franciscos efforts to slow down the spread of the coronavirus and save lives. In concert with other barrier counties, we are continuing to move aggressively to slow the spread. It is true that every hour counts. We need everyone to take action to protect our community and particularly our most vulnerable populations. The regional order to shelter in place is brand new for our community and the bay area is the first place in the country to take such an aggressive approach. I know that San Francisco wants to do the right thing and were already seeing big differences in peoples behavior adagioing to the new rules and the adjusting to the new rules and new times. Were thankful for the care of one another. To review, all San Francisco residents must stay home as must as possible and only leave for essential activities like getting food and medicine. Even then, they and you, should stay at least six feet away from others. It is okay to go outside to walk your dog, go for a walk, run or hike, alone or with someone else from your household. You can also go outside with someone else as long as you stay six feet apart. We know that people need exercise and fresh air, and theres a way to do that within the confines of this order. But, for people who are over the age of 60 and those with Chronic Health conditions or especially those who are currently sick, please stay home all together. We know that staying at home is disruptive. It has to be, the virus thrives under normal conditions. We encourage people to learn more about the order by referring to the frequently asked questions as director carol mentioned at sf. Gov. Were preparing our Health System and city functions for potential system and coronavirus patients and we hope itll diminish by our aggressive efforts of the virus. Put it simply, we need as much time as possible to be as prepared as possible. I would especially like to thank the front line workers who continue to care for our Community Members even during this health emergency, including and especially in Healthcare Settings and our First Responders who are engaging with people at risk for the virus. When the surge of coronavirus occurs, a Health Officer issued an order effective yesterday prohibiting routine procedures and elective surgeries. These things can wait and they must wait. Now we are decompressing the Healthcare System as much possible. I remind everyone, please do not go to the emergency room or an Urgent Care Center unless you have a true life threatening emergency. Contact your Healthcare Provider by phone, use tele medicine, get the information anywhere else you can. Please do not go to the healthcare emergency room or urgent care. Those places desperately need to be saved for the people who are truly ill and need it the most. The mayor has also used the power of the local Emergency Declaration she made on february 25 to order a streamlining of the hiring process for nurses in our public Health System. We are bringing on scores of new nurses in as soon as ten days, and i was just talking with our hr people and they told me this morning that we already have 70 new nurses hired and we expect scores more this weekend and in the near future. We areto hire nurses on the spot. Today, we have 70 confirmed cases of covid19 cases in San Francisco. That number is rising and will continue to rise. We know that the virus is here in our community and yet we still must fight aggressively to interrupt it by drastically reducing the chances it has to jump from a person. This remains a rapidly evolving situation and we have learned more and have followed data science and facts and interventions. I greatly appreciate the way that San Francisco is pulling together to follow the new rules and to help prepare and protect our Healthcare Workers in this system. Everyone can and must do their part. Im impressed by the Emergency Operation center and it is a hive with the pursuit of one shared goal to protect our community and to slow the every law enforcement, and infrastructures and Transportation Services for homelessness. I am inspired to see this incredible city, it is essential workers, and the Services Step up and take on this challenge we are facing together. Thank you. Thank you, dr. Colfax. I wanted to take this opportunity to strews the director of the department of Human Resources who is working on the plan to support many of our vulnerable population live in congregate settings so were prepared to not only provide shelter in place access for those particular populations but an overall plan many people have asked about the challenges with our Homeless Population weve not forgotten that and we are inuin issue and i want trent to provide us with an update. Thank you, mayor. Im trent roar and the citys director of the citys human agency and were the agency tasked with providing care for the vulnerable population. Thanks to the leadership and leadership and guidance from dr. Colfax, we activated the command center last monday so 11 days ago, to prepare for this. Using the best data that the department of Public Health had at the time, we were charged with identifying 3500 hotel rooms to be able to use for isolation for individuals whos housing facility doesnt allow for quarantine on their own. This is the 19,000 or so individuals that live in a Single Room Occupancy Hotel room with Community Bathrooms and Community Kitchens and impossible for those persons to isolate alone. Then of course its our Homeless Population both who are residing in the hopeless shelters as well as homeless on the street. We quickly responded to that and have been working to secure those rooms. We did secure our first lease yesterday and moved the first people in this morning. Those first people were hopeless individuals who were tested in the hospital but are not showing signs that need them to be hospitalized and we moved them from the hospitals to that particular hotel. We dont want people who do not need to be hospitalized to be there simply because they cant isolate. This is why were bringing the hotel online and weve identified probably about 500, in the lower 500 that we hope to have secured through lease online and staffed with the appropriate personnel by the end of the week or weekend and we think that is enough to manage the current projected surge. Also thank you to the mayor for speaking with the Hotel Council membership yesterday morning. And because of her leadership as well as dr. Colfax and ucsf, myself, and the council, the Largest Hotels have been very responsive, we have among those hotels well over 2,000 rooms of hotels that have expressed interest, the next phase will be our health and Human Services teams assessing the ability of those hotels for the population that needs to be quarantined. The second group of individuals that we want to provide housing for hotel rooms are of course First Responders and we dont want our Healthcare Workers who are on the front lines to go home and potentially infect others and be infected in their communities and not able to work and setting up hotels for them as well and hotels from the council will be suitable for them as well. Those rooms would actually be in addition to the 3500 we have for those who need to be quarantined. Then the last housing shelter effort is of course the vulnerable population who are on our streets as well as populations in our existing shelter system. Per the cdc and state department of Health Guidance as well as our local department of Public Health, we need to create social distancing within our homeless shelters. We have about 2,000 single adults in our Shelter Systems and Navigation Center right now. Well be reducing capacity on existing systems and well be moving them to shelters that we pop up in locations throughout San Francisco. In addition well be dispatching or deploying our outreach teams on the street to identify vulnerable populations, whether its age or underlying Health Conditions or both to move into those congregate as well. Those shelters that pop up will be staffed by the appropriate personnel and able to quickly identify people showing symptoms, being able to remove them and move towards isolation. We are currently, i guess fortunately that were in the shelter place, stay at home mode, there are a lot of at large facilities available to us and we are assessing those sites now and figuring out how to lay them out standards and securing staffing as well as of course food provision and we envision standing up probably about 2500 rooms. This would be about excuse me, 2500 spaces and shelters and 1500 of them would be to people who are currently in shelter and will be moved and another thousand for the vulnerable populations we identify on the street. Our system that we developed will be able to expand should that need arise. My direction to them has been find as many large spaces as possible and do not limit yourself to capacity to 2500 cause we may need more. Ill be happy to address questions at the end of this. Thanks. Thank you, trent. The board of supervisors has been really an incredible partner in this effort and in particular there are members of the board of supervisors that are here with us today and including supervisors and at this time i wanted to ask supervisor pescan to say a few words. Thank you, mayor. As the mayor just said, we are here on a fulltime presence with the board of supervisors and were all united and we are very disciplined and extremely focused and working very well together and the employees of the city and county of San Francisco and together were going to flatten this curve. Just wanted to also ask police chief bill scott to provide an update for what happened yesterday and we put this order in place and the folks on the front line in eromosele its of helping to implement the shelter in place order has been the San FranciscoPolice Department. I wanted chief scott to provide an update. Thank you, mayor. As of yesterday, the San FranciscoPolice Department continued our efforts to help prevent the spread of covid19 virus. As weve stated before, our primary mission is to have compassion, common sense, and voluntary complains and if all else fails an order we can enforce. We have not had to enforce and i know that sporadic sitings that i wanted to get clear that were doing everything we can to message to people, to educate people we come in contact with to practice social distancing as laid out in the health order. This is a tremendous disruption to everybodys lives and we understand that and so the education is key. We started doing bar checks the minute the order went into effect and that was midnight on the 17th of march and Tuesday Morning our officers were assigned to patrol and deputies tasked with going to the bars and restaurants in their respective directs to ensure that we had compliance with this order. We were very pleased that even prior to midnight, most of the restaurants and bars had already began to shut down so we did not have to enforce. Weve seen an overall diminished respond from the people in San Francisco, and we appreciate that. As far as our work force as was stated, our first respon office started early on because of the leadership of our mayor and our Public Health director. We tried to get out in front of this starting in january. We started aggressive messaging on the basics of washing hands and making sure our officers did everything not to spread the virus and we believe that was key. Key and not impacting our work force and no major impacts on the work force and tele commuting if at all possible and canceled all training and our officers assigned to Administrative Functions and university and most of those officers are working to supplement patrol and Academy Staff and in the downtown area walking foot beat. We want the public to not have to worry about public safety. Theres nothing to worry about crime and were not saying that crime will not exist, but were going to do everything we can to not make that be the worry. Our officers will be out there in numbers and many have seen the police cars with the lights on and officers working foot beats and that will continue. We dont know how long this will last and we want to do our part and make sure were doing everything we can to prevent the spread of the virus. I cant emphasize enough how important the leadership standing behind me starting with the mayor was on allowing us to get in front of this and thats been key and getting the compliance weve gotten this far. Thank you, mayor, thank you supervisors and the city leadership and all the department heads. Thank you. Thank you, chief. Before i open it up to questions, i just want to take this opportunity because i really thought we were already passed the cynophobia that existed since learning of the coronavirus and its origin and its very unfortunate that this counties to be an issue and it is offensive not only to our Chinese Community here in San Francisco and offensive to our city as a whole where we pride ourselves on our diversity. We know that this disease is not discriminating on someone based on race. People being diagnosissed are of all races and backgrounds and the longer we perpetuate this deviciveness and racism and the words that allow for the focus to be on the particular that particular issue, the less we are able to deal with this together. This is a time not to divisiveness and a time for us to come together and to support the residents of our city and not make people feel excluded. So sadly this continues to be a problem where the president continues to standby his messaging around his labeling of the coronavirus and we want to make it clear that that is not something thats acceptable or tolerated here in San Francisco. I want to thank you you all again for being here today and we know that as the situation continues to evolve, we will do everything we can to update you and provide you with the most Accurate Information and again, making a decision to shelter in place is not one that was taken lightly. It was taken at the direction of some of the most incredible Public Health experts anywhere in the world. We will get through this if we come ply, if we in some cases sacrifice clearly to get, you know, to a better place. None of us wants to be in this situation right now, but we will get over it if we continue to Work Together and come ply with the order and do our part. So thank you so all the folks in our city who are done a tremendous job in helping us to keep the streets clear and do what you can to support your households and your neighbors, thank you to the leadership of this city and the dedicated City Employees that show up not only here at the Emergency Operation center but the people who are showing up to our police stations, fire stations, our hospitals, the dedicated folks who will help get us through this crisis so with that, im happy to open it up to any questions. Christian. Well be getting more diagnosis and thats one of the key Lessons Learned in this next phase of the epidemic. The other thing we need to care or look at is the seriousness of the cases and the acuity of the illness, thats why as i talked about preparing for the surge that we think is coming relatively soon, but the number of cases is also about bending the curve and itll increase and we want to increase that rate as low as possible to give us as much time as possible to better prepare for the most sick who are the most inneed of medical treatment. Id go back to reinforcing that 80 from the data we have now, 80 of people who get coronavirus have mild to moderate symptoms and do not need hospitalizations and do not need intensive care and all this work and focused necessarily on preparing especially for those vulnerable populations and Healthcare Work force to stay as healthy as possible to protect them and our First Responders so we can optimize our response when if and when the surge does happen. Thank you. To your question, that actually has started. We have put in a request and the San FranciscoPolice Department to have our Disaster Service workers assist with that messaging and that education piece so as of today, my understanding is that has happened to assist the San FranciscoPolice Officers with that. A couple things, if you see that and we have reserved it, our officers observed that type of behavior and one of the struggles initially was in the area. There were Service Providers that were doing good things and giving out food but it caused minds and social distancing problems and our officers called immediately to thin people out. We have to balance common sense, Civil Liberties with the necessity to stop the spread of the virus and therell be a lot of education if in the event that we keep having to go back to the same group of people or same people, we work with the same attorney on a tight protocol on when to enforce and it can be a citation, arrest, and a continuing offense and if theyre arrested over and over again, which i dont anticipate. By in large, people have been very, very supportive and compliant. If that happens, that person can be taken to jail. This has impacted the entire criminal Justice System and its important that everybody understands that and its unprecedented to slow down. Our county sheriff has estimated and make adjustments and the Police Department and part of the larger criminal Justice System that weve had all to adjust and i want to ensure everybody that we are still enforcing the law. This is not a free for all for people to come in their city and do whatever they please. The law will be enforced and well have discretion on who we actually put handcuffs on and take to jail because we dont want to spread the virus in that manner so well be smart about it and instructed our supervisors on what to do and what to look for and well be smart about it. Thank you. Listening in to San Francisco leaders say it loud and clear, San Francisco residents should be observing the shelter in place order for the third day. The major and city county Public Health director saying we need to be prepared for when the surge of coronavirus occurs in the city, hes asking people to delay whatever medical treatment may not be absolutely necessary and the city is hiring more nurses all in an effort to be prepared for when the surge hits. Theyve hired 270 nurses on the spot. Also, do not go to the emergency room unless you are deathly ill. If you have a slight fever, if you think you have the chills, stay at home, be quarantined because they need the space there at the urgent care as well as the hospitals and so far 70 cases in the city of San Francisco, the entire state of california, 870 cases to put in perspective and expect the number of cases to grow. It is a challenge we all face together but a challenge well all get together. With i have to move to breaking news in the south bay right now out of the city of san jose, ktvu learn that had a San Jose Police officer has tested positive for the coronavirus. This officer has worked shifts in the same vehicle with a partner and may have attended a buffet where other officers were present. A News Conference about this is scheduled for 2 00 this afternoon and well continue to follow this story of course and bring the latest as we get more information into our news room. The latest numbers from california show nearly 900 b confirmed cases of the coronavirus with more than 400 of them right here in the bay area. Santa clara county continues to be the hardest hit with 175 casings and 6 deaths. The next hardest hit county is san mateo with 89 cases and one death. We brought you live in San Francisco with now 70 cases confirmed. All bay area counties will soon be under a shelter in place. Napa and solano are the latest to join the list. Ktvu is live for us this afternoon in napa to explain how the decision did not come as a surprise for many in the county, good afternoon. Reporter good afternoon. A lot of people were definitely expecting this. Were outside of a Grocery Store in American Canyon and weve seen people coming in and out all morning even though this shelter in place or stay at home order doesnt go into effect at maryland night tonight, theres people here, about 20 people behind each checkout trying to get the essentials they need to not go to the store later. Napa county is the last bay area county to enact an order like this. Handwritten signs on the doors of shops and businesses in downtown napa told customers theyre already closed before this shelter at home order goes into effect at midnight tonight and its the last bay area county to enact an order like this. We dont have cases because no tests are available. As soon as any people exist and no cases of covid19 yet. One in the hospital and the other in the city and the fear is that the castocks of covid 19 grow rapidly here, they could run out of hospital beds. Were here to protect our Healthcare Systems and thats what this order is really about. Essential businesses like Grocery Stores and pharmacies, gas stations and banks can stay open. People that work in essential Services Like police and fire, healthcare and food service can leave their homes to go to work. Restaurants can stay open for takeout and Delivery Service. Im in the process of writing a condensed to go menu that people find comforting. Recognizable comfort food. The chefs at jacks diner says he knows this order is needed but hes not sure how long restaurants can survive on a takeout only model. Thats the tough question. We can maintain our costs and maintain everything to keep the doors open and thats really the scary part of all this. Shoppers plan to stock up on food and hunker down. Her husband had a new liver transplant and hopes it protects people like him. I think its a wonderfully and great idea and im blessed to have a company i worked for to actually let us stay home so i can take care of my husband and of myself. Reporter this shelter many place order goes into effect at midnight tonight. Like the other bay area counties, it is technically scheduled to last for the next three weeks and can always be extended given the circumstances and can go out and about for the walk or jog to walk your dog as long as you maintain about 6 feet of distance around other people and this is legally enforceable just like in the other bay area like the counties and violate an at home order. Ali, thank you. President trump had possible treatment for the coronavirus during the white houses Daily Briefing this morning. Theyre going to approve medication. He said hydroxiy chloroquine could be made available by prescription and used to treat malaria and in some cases arthritis. For the fda to act the way they acted with this kind of speed is an incredible thin thing. We believe these therapeutics and others will provide relief to Many Americans and we hope this will be a us breakthrough, tremendous breakthrough. We will work toward a much needed vaccine in the future. Meanwhile the coordinator for the white houses Coronavirus Task force is reminding people to follow safety guidelines when preventing the spread. Even 10 or 15 of the population decides that what theyre doing today is more important than the health and welfare of the rest of the americans, they can spread the virus in a very strong way because you know the level of contagion. Right now, the president is taking part in a Video Conference with us governors to discuss more ways to mitigate and really respond to the pandemic. To fremont where city officials are set to meet with executives today over the Company Operating and the shelter in place order. Some employees still working shifts at the companys freedmont factory say theres been some covid19 screenings in place but they say those changes dont go far enough. Ktvu south bay reporter jesse gary has the story. Reporter tesla wackerrers tell us theres a new protocol in place. Theyre scanned for fever and given a mask. Sanitation stations are not up and these changes represent a small change in the overall regular routine. In the predawn darkness, a sea of tesla employees arriving for work thursday at the fremont plant. The ebb and flow following the same routine as days past despite some workers saying theyre getting conflicting guidance in that theres no changes in their normal assignment. This entire time, weve been in limbo. We dont know what to do. We thought they would shut down if the isnt shut down and they didnt. Others are now being given masks and that washing stations are supposed to be install sometime thursday and social distancing and a production slow down is talk and not a reality adding theyre left standing side by side with very few places to wash hands. Those conditions worry some workers that fear the threat of covid19 transmission is heightened. Coworkers that are pregnant, coworkers over 65 and theyre fearful. They dont know what to do anymore. Why are they still open exposing the people potentially to the coronavirus . It doesnt make sense to me at all. Tesla ceo elon musk sent an email to workers saying do not feel obligated to come to work and the harm from the coronavirus panic far ebbing cedes that of the panic itself. The tesla plant is not considered a essential business and under the same shelter in place restrictions as many bay area counties and santa cruz county. They can operate at minimal levels to give process Employee Benefits and have a tremendous amount of equipment and needs to be maintained and monitored and would be allowed to do that and would have to do that while maintaining social distancing guidelines. Theyll reduce the work force from 10,000 employees down to 2500 employees. One worker tells me those workers with Delivery Service and those groups are considered essential and as such would not be covered by the shelter in place mandates affecting most of the bay area. In fremont, ktvu fox news. Tesla cofounder elon musk said theyll make ventilators if it leads to a shortage. Musk made the statement responding to a tweet asking how many he planned to produce. He said, tesla makes cars with sophisticated hvac systems and spacex makes spacecraft with live support system. Ventilators are no more difficult but cannot be made instantly. The current supply may not be enough if cases continue climb. Health officials in the city dealing with similar issues that hospitals really across the nation are facing. Ktvu amber lee went to zuckerberg San Francisco general to get a closer look at pandemic in the hospital. The low and moderate need of sick patients and not seeing an alarring surge at this point but thats what were preparing for. Dr. Chris caldwell is the San Francisco general chief of emergency medicine and he tells me theres currently and admitted at the hospital and the coronavirus and the rest under investigation. We have to avoid the huge spike of hundreds of potentially critically ill people coming in in a very short period of type. Sheltering in place and social distancing to reduce the spread is essential. Also critical is the need for personal protective equipment for front line Healthcare Workers. Today we do have the equipment that we need. It is in short supply and were certainly very concerned. That includes eye protection, gowns, and most importantly the m95 face masks. The doctor said the afternoon person does not need them. Its so important to preserve and not horde that equipment. Caldwell says sf general has about 70 of the 700 ventilators at hospitals throughout the city. Fortunately few covid19 patients need ventilators at this time. Dr. George w Davis Senior Center and diane warren among the ma residents with Critical Issues and suffers from irregular heart beats. Im going to get out and walk and exercise and stand up. Medical experts say theres no need to be scared but that sheltering in place could save lives. Please do abide by those rules, allow the medical system to ramp up for what it may face.

The number of cases jumped to more than 4,000 with more than half of the cases in new york city.

In a world where everyone is being told to social distance themselves, we found examples of people at the basketball court, lights, Grocery Stores, we found this man stretching his arms trying to measure out six feet. Thats how far the cdc says the virus can spread through respiratory droplets from an infected person. I dont know how realistic it is with all the people around and cant tell and can spread inadvertently. Practicing social distancing and the pandemic and the Healthcare System wont collapse and more. If youre part of the same household, youre able to go out for a walk and not have to have that six feet between you. Unless a person in the household is sick, she advises they stay in a room. Stay six feet from one another. The owner posted signs and configured his front patio to sen sure customers and employees maintain distance.
