That is on top of the earlier reported symptoms that include a fever, shortens of breath, coughing and blue or purple lesions on the feet.

Pretty nice wednesday. Then all signs are pointing to a cooldown going into the first weekend of may. There you go. Steve, thank you for that. Still to come on morning on two, protecting patients and Health Care Workers to keep the hospital safe and clean. And with allergy season nearing the peak, the symptoms can make allergy suffers think they have covid19. After the break, the difference go wean the two. Just go to 2020census. Gov, answer some questions and your response could help Impact Community funding for schools and lunch programs. Dont just talk about it be about it thats right. Its not too late. Shape your future. Start here at 2020census. Gov. Thats right. Until i found out what itst it actually was. Ed me. Dust mite droppings eeeeeww dead skin cells gross so now, i grab my swiffer sweeper and heavyduty dusters. Duster extends to three feet to get all that gross stuff gotcha and for that nasty dust on my floors, my sweepers on it. The textured cloths grab and hold dirt and hair no matter where dust bunnies hide. No more heebie jeebies. Phew. Glad i stopped cleaning and started swiffering. It is now 8 15. A hospital in tracy is using robot toss disinfect patient rooms to stop the spread of the coronavirus. They use ultravie lot rays to zap microorg nims. No one can be in the room when it is on. Just another layer level of that disinfecting and it is a not process that we can use to try to insure that we do not have infections in the hospital and that we have people, patient and staff feeling comfortable and safe. The three towers work in tandem. Takes about 25 minutes to sanitize one room and then the staff wheels it to the next room. The centers for Disease Control and prevention has a new report about the signs and symptoms to know if someone has covid19. Those include losing taste, or even smell, sore throat, headaches, muscle pain, and shaking along with the chills. That is on top of earlier reported symptoms. That expanded list of signs of the infection is important because many testing sites will not test anyone who does not have symptoms. As we have been reporting here, allergy season is under way and it is important to know the difference between seasonal allergy symptoms and those of the coronavirus. Many mimic the coronavirus. It is something one Southern California doctor deals with personally. There is a way to tell if it is more than just allergies. If youre a younger healthy person and getting one of the more mild cases of the coronavirus, the symptoms might be identical but an easy way to differentiate, if you take a pill for al lers jigs and there is relief, then it is probably allergies. If not, then discuss it with your doctor. Some symptoms are similar to the flu but doctors say flu season is almost over so it is more likely to be covid19 or allergies. If you dont feel relief from over the counter allergy medication, it is time to call your doctor. A lot people made their way outside over the past weekend. It was a nice weekend weather wise. It was a popular hiking trail despite the social distancing in order. Lime ridge is a popular spot. With so many heading to the trails and there is some concern bout people ignoring these health guidelines. People are prone to want to go to the beaches, parks, playgrounds and go on a hike and i anticipate there will be an increase in volume but i also think if there is and people are not practicing physical distancing, i will be announcing in a weak or so these numbers going back up. While that increase in volume in Outdoor Recreation has been seen, hikers say people are following the rules. Many are keeping a way from each other and, of course Wearing Masks and to follow up with that gasia, on saturday, i did notice more people out, but they were Wearing Masks and following the guidelines that are out there for social distancing.

I see people crossing the street here, too. When it is this nice, it is hard not to get out. Temperatures will bump up today for a little bit, but it will only last a couple days and then a cooler pattern by the end of the week. Maybe the end of april going into early may will be cool.

Dupixent is a biologic, and not a cream or steroid. Many people taking dupixent saw clear or almost clear skin, and, had significantly less itch. Thats a difference you can feel. Dont use if youre allergic to dupixent. Serious allergic reactions can occur, including anaphylaxis, which is severe. Tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems, such as eye pain or vision changes, or a parasitic infection. If you take asthma medicines, dont change or stop them without talking to your doctor. So help heal your skin from within. And talk to your eczema specialist about dupixent. c1 some people call me the space coun boy, off, some call me the gangster of love, some call me maurice, because i speak with the pom pa tus of love.

San franciscos Mission District are eligible for free coronavirus testing. Ktvus aly rasmus to say how this works and who is eligible for it. Reporter well, uc sf researchers worked to make this happen. We heard back a short time ago. They said so far and this program has been going on since saturday in the mission. 650 people have been tested so far in that neighborhood. They are providing two types of free tests to people who show up. One is to see if you have covid 19 now. The other type will test for antibodies to see if you had the virus in the past. The goal is to test as many people as possible in a 16 block area of the Mission District. Anyone who lives or works in the area is eligible so that is about 5700 people. This area was chosen because it is the second most dencely populated census track in the city and also a neighborhood that has a high latino population. Health officials note that covid19 has had a disproportionate impact on that community. I live right around the block and been sheltering forever. I want to know one way or the other. The study will help unfold exactly how pervasive this is and hopefully insure that it guides policy and resources to help mitigate the future spread. The rural area have done a Similar Program there. It is part of the same overall study that includes the Mission District testing and conducted thousands of tree tests that wrapped up there last week. The Community Wide ruts for them wont be available until the end of may according to uc sf. We have reached out to get more information on everything in anal sis and why it will take about a month to get those Community Wide ritz. Here results.

The food and Drug Administration issued an alert last month to americans about the availability of the fraudulent test kits and warned against them.

She will give her citys response at 1 00 this afternoon and well stream that live at ktvu. Com. They have been working together in handing down Similar Health orders. Officials havent given details on the what the extension could look like, but likely wont be any major changes, at least not yet. The bay area waits for shelter at home orders to be lifted and they are telling ktvu that Contact Tracing will be one of the many factors they look at in the big picture when it comes to easing such restrictions. Governor gavin newsom talked about wrapping up and moving forward in our progression. He talked about Contact Tracing and maybe its roll in all of this in helping us reach reopening. Yes, i think the Contract Tracing is a traditional Public Health approach to dealing without breaks and it is really critical in terms of monitoring and controlling covid in the community. The percent is not only to give information to the person who tests positive about how they should be isolating themselves at home and staying a way from people, but also identifying all those people who potentially were exposed to make sure that they also are quarantining and staying a way from the general public during the time where they might be incubating the virus and being contagious and spreading it to others.
