Day. He said he expects the testing will increase to 25,000 per day very shortly. We have more on the covenants announcement today. Reporter today in an hour plus News Conference very much lacking in specifics, the governor laid out scenarios to reopen in california and vowed he will not be pressure into premature anything. Politics will not drive our decisionmaking, political pressure will not drive our decisionmaking. The science, the data, Public Health will drive our decision making. Reporter the governor says theres been a lot of progress on testing and tracking therapeutic medicines, vulnerable populations, homeless, healthcare surge capacity, appropriate personnel and personal protective gear. The state held officers showed a very encouraging sign. Smacked the total number of hospitalizations from covid19 and the total of number of admissions and icus from covid 19 have remained stable. Reporter a specific as newsom would get on anything was suggesting, not approving, reopening schools early for the next school year. We are considering the prospect of an even school later school your end of the fall. Reporter but there opening up places like retail stores, benefaction, offices and public spaces all requiring an continuing social distancing, few specifics. We believe we are weeks, not months away from making meaningful modifications. Reporter that could be interpreted as anywhere from two or more seven weeks of hunkering down, regarding close contact activities such as personalcare businesses, ha months, not weeks. Reporter even more sketchy, mass gatherings. Where we are back at concerts and Convention Halls and with tens of thousands of fans in large stadiums, we will take some time. Reporter newsom says california is not going back to threeminute covid19 days until we have widespread immunity or a vaccine or both. It can undo all of the progress you have made. Bay Area School Districts are responding to Governor Newsoms announcement that the Academic Year could begin early to address the lost. The superintendent of the San Francisco School District said in a statement, we will continue to work closely with regional officials in determining when and how to reopen schools. The School Buildings are closed right now. The 201920 school year is not over. Students are learning from home digitally and through paper based instruction to the greatest extent possible. We want to talk more now about the potential early start for the school year with doctor runge and ms. Recommend internal medicine specialist. Thank you so much for being here this afternoon. What do you think about this idea . Good or bad . Its not as white and black as that. I think this is just a consideration, like Governor Newsom said, and the school year is going to open back up again in 2020, we just dont know when. So what he said today come about whether the School Year Opens as planned, at the end of august versus if it opens up a month early at the end of july, that something hes going to take into consideration, because a lot of our children have had learning impacted because of covid19. And we want to make sure we can get them back up and running as soon as possible. So this is not a decision they are going to take lightly, theyre going to take into a lot of consideration to make sure our schools physically are safe for our children tomajor disruptions with learning at the school year. What changes do you think need to be made so that schools can start accepting students once again . Will i think thats going to depend on the state, obviously, but california has done pretty well during this particular wave of coronavirus. Like we mentioned earlier, things are stabilizing. So i think we will have to see different models, which ones best fit our state and we are going to have to figure out staggered schooldays. Maybe one day on, one day off see you can have a smaller amount of students in the school, physically. We can also probably see a decrease in class sizes. Maybe there are 10 or 15 students in each class so we can maintain the six feet of distancing and , eating lunch clotting and li for children and younger ages and at recess. Washing hands and disinfecting services multiple times a day but we probably wont see too many assemblies or sports starting back up immediately. I think we need to gain the confidence of our parents and all of this, because families have to feel confident and secure in getting their kids physically backtoschool. We will need to have a lot of emotional support from educational support for our children. I think attendance policies will have to be a little bit more lax. If families think that it will be better by staying at Home Learning virtually and remotely, that is still an option for them. I think that will be very important as we try to open the schools backup. That is a long list of changes you just mentioned. Talk a little bit about what that can do for a child who is used to going to school a certain way, encountering certain people in a certain atmosphere and as you mefrom al affect change. Of course. I think the best thing we can hold onto in this case is children adopt wonderfully. They are used to change and adapt very fast. This will become the new normal, at least for a period of time, before we can get a vaccine and immunity and we are safe to allow all of our children to go back to school at the same time. I think if we bring it about in a positive way our children would take it in a positive way. I dont think we should worry about what could go wrong because we are doing this for their safety. As long as it remains a primary concern Everything Else will come. A lot of precautions to be made before the classrooms open up again, but thank you again for taking the time to talk with us, appreciated. Sure, thank you. President trump says the Small Business loan program in this country is working exactly as it should, but many struggling Business Owners sits quite the opposite. Today the white house announced that provided 450,000 loans in 24 hours. Lauren blanchard has more now from washington. All 120 of our employees are back on the payroll today. Reporter President Trump meeting with Small Business owners helped by the Paycheck Protection Program as he and his treasury secretary are praising the administrations rollout of additional funding. In 14 days we did more work in more loans for both in terms of applications and dollar amount, then they did in 14 years. Reporter even though billions of dollars in loans have been processed the Small Business administration, there have been issues getting help to the Small Businesses that actually need it, with large chains taking millions, small banks are having problems processing claims, theres computer glitches in slow and confusing paperwork. No Senate Democrats are calling for oversight hearings once they return to dc next week. About that though all the banks, no more big boys, no more chance, go after this, groh approved the Small Business loans and get more personnel there. Reporter minority leader Chuck Schumer says they need public hearings on testing, the Small Business loan programs, unemployment, insurance and the need to confirm appointees to sit on a bipartisan d. A. Commission. Up on top of drafting additional economic relief, which many republicans are not ready to do just yet.

To the east bay this afternoon where investigators are looking into a large caulk wedding operation, deputies rated the rule property in pleasanton and recovered hundreds of animals. Or Crime Reporter now with the call that tipped off investigators. Reporter that call helped investigators shutdown what they call a barbaric sport that kills and maims chickens. A cockfighting ring busted in the east bay with roosters fighting to the death. The coliseum style gladiator fights. Reporter it happened with a tip called into the Alameda County Sheriffs Office about dozens of people at an illegal cockfight. A severe form of animal cruelty. Those birds are going to those fights and usually only one bird comes out alive. Reporter sky flocks flew over the sprawling property south of 580. The cockfight without inside and view from the ground, a gated property all that shielding the operation. Sheriff sergeant said they set up the Oakland Police helicopter before reading the property saturday. When Law Enforcement arrived from all of those individuals began to run for the hills. Reporter 10 people were detained, but no arrest have been made as investigators tried to identify the ringleader of the operation. Deputies found more than 120 roosters, 59 hens, 400 checks and unborn foul. There were bird cages, up to about 600 birds, if you include the checks, and several hundred eggs being incubated. Reporter some birds didnt make it. Among the dead, these two chicks. We also found birds with serious injuries to their extremities where they had been sliced by these razor knives that are put onto their clause. Cockfighting is one of the most cruel sports. Reporter Kristin Rickman of peta says the roosters were most likely shut up with performanceenhancing drugs. The birds are doped up with amphetamines and other drugs to make them more aggressive so they will fight in the ring to the death. Reporter know as of today none of the recovered chickens have had to be euthanized. The Sheriffs Office and others are taking care of those birds and the eggs while at the same time trying to find out those who were with possible for the fight. The investigation continues, thank you. Up next, people who are selfemployed can now apply for unemployment and if its. What you should know in order to file and how much money did receive.

Or just letting the sun light your home. Stay well and keep it golden. People who are self employed and no longer working because of the coronavirus pandemic can start applying for Unemployment Benefits today. We explained who gets these benefits and who qualifies and how much they could potentially get. Reporter there are an estimated 2 Million People in california who work as independent contractors. This Unemployment Insurance program would help them and other workers who dont normally qualify for state jobless benefits. Is called pandemic unemployment assistance, the federal program funded by the governments relief package signed into law last month. Its a ministered by the state and in california the people covered include independent contractors, people who are selfemployed, people without a long work history, people who have exhausted regular benefits and everyone who applies must certify their business and livelihood have been impacted by covid19. People in healthcare, many are either independent contractors or Small Business owners like dentist and ophthalmologist. Reporter the benefits to the selfemployed workers are weak view minimum of 167. Than for the weeks of march through july this additional federal money of 600 a week. People are aiming to put groceries on the table in getting back in the workforce when the time is ready. Hopefully this will remake the pain of retracting recessions a bit less. It is a good thing for the individuals and the economy. Reporter pisan Employment Benefits are good for 39 weeks. If you start collecting them now it will take you through the end of this year. We have more information on our website, including a link to the states website. For more on this program we are joined live by carol levine who is the director of the wage Protection Program at legal aid at work. Its good to have you on here. Tell me, who benefits the most what you think, from the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Program . How much money are folks likely to get . Reporter so the pandemic unemployment assistance is really intended to be the benefit for the Small Business owners, the true independent contractors who wouldnt qualify for Unemployment Insurance. Its also for people who have either exhausted their claims, have insufficient earnings or perhaps have been a false statement penalty in the past. How does an independent contractor, lets say a gig worker or rideshare driver, someone who does that sort of work, how are they going their is related to the coronavirus pandemic. So interestingly in california we have a b5, which has been in effect since january 2020. So rideshare drivers, gig workers, really should be considered to be employees and not independent contractors and should be applying for Unemployment Insurance. For those who are applying for pandemic unemployment assistance, they actually are just self certifying the fact that they have lost income due to the coronavirus pandemic. Okay, so the program, i understand it rolls out in three different phases and the payments are sort of going to fluctuate over time period what exactly does that look like . Whats the reason for that . Thats correct. Program should become available today in california, but it will be backdated to the very beginning of the program, which goes back to february 2nd 2020. And then between the end of march and the end of july, workers will see a boost of 600 additional dollars every week. And after july it will go back to the minimum amount. The minimum amount in california is calculated to be 167. For those who actually exceed a threshold of over 70,000 you could then go back in this process hasnt been established yet, but they will go back and they will in 450 a week. So let me ask you your, calioverwhelmed with millions o unemployment claims as it is right now. How worried are you about this agency adding an entirely new program to the mix right now . Yeah, its certainly not an ideal time. We are already seeing the system being tremendously impacted by the number of unemployed persons, up to 3 million in california who have applied in the last several weeks. An additional 2 million will be incredibly hard for the system. Luckily i think this process of pandemic unemployment assistance is being streamlined and should be implemented much faster. Payments are being made available in a much shorter time frame than with Unemployment Insurance. Thats good at least. We have to leave it there. I appreciate your insight on this topic. Carol levine, the director of the wage Protection Program at legal aid at work. Thanks for your time, appreciated. Thank you so much. A really warm day across much of the area, lets get an update on our conditions, with our meteorologist. Good afternoon to you, and i spike in temperatures today, 70s, 80s and a few spots seeing low 90s for the hotspots in the bay area. In fact the official highs are not in just yet but if you look at some preliminary highs, along the creek maxing out at 90 degrees so far. San jose at the airport 84 and even San Francisco warm in the lower 70s. 71 degrees this afternoon. Heres the forecast for tomorrow, some clouds once again, more coverage tomorrow morning, especially coast side and right around at a clearing back to the coastline and definitely cooling things off in your wednesday forecast. Low 60s to lower 80s. It is a cooler wednesday, all because of this area of High Pressure scooting out of town. This area of High Pressure will move out of the region and as it does temperatures will cool off into wednesday. There is no real major warmups in our forecast at all over the next few days. Heres the satellite. Lots of clear skies, but as we take a closer look, a better job on picking up the low clouds and fog. As you can see right now we have low cloud cover hanging out in portions of the bay area coastline. Just a change in the wind direction is leading toward the cooler temperatures across the entire bay area heading into your forecast for tomorrow. Current numbers, 91 degrees in fairfield, livermore upper 80s, san jose 81 in San Francisco in the mid 60s. Here is our live camera toward San Francisco downtown this afternoon. Still in the clear, but we will cloud things up overnight, some fog coast side and right around the bay. Overnight temperatures will be most areas into the there, the will clear back to the coastline in temperatures with no more 90s. Were just thinking warm spots in the lower 80s.

San jose locating hundreds of thousands of dollars to prevent a further spike in Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault amid the stayathome orders. Councilmembers sylvia arenas, Magdalena Carrasco held a News Conference today think stress and social isolation during the Public Health emergency can increase the risk of Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence crimes. It happens often when families are forced to live in cramped housing during the shelter in place order. Living in these conditions before the crisis meant that children were often living with strangers and there is absolutely no space or privacy in these types of living conditions. And we know that child abuse, Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence were already pretran19, very serious dangers when families that were forced to live in overcrowded housing by the economic conditions. Today the council heard an update on the Police Department Sexual Assault and responsive strategy workplan. Includes dedicated often resources that were happening during a spike in reports this year. Councilmembers are encouraging their colleagues to support and approve 700,000 in funding for that unit. Some neighbors in san jose are protesting the construction of two tiny homesites that recently were fast tracked. The city was building one of those sites the monterey road and another by 101. The protesters said they are tiny homes, but say the city has rushed to get the projects built during the current covid 19 prices without Community Input calling the move reckless and negligent. To make the biggest news is they have suppressed the voice of the public and reduce Public Outreach during the crisis. And the deregulated states that we currently have, therefore cut it out of the building regulations and planning. Slapped the plan together in less than a month and expect us to stand for 10 to 15 years overall. Reporter withdrew protesting the current plans says they want more details from the city on possible Police Patrols in that area, sanitary precautions and how the site will be funded in the future. Weeks of lockdowns may soon come to an end. I will show you which countries are still battling the coronavirus, coming up. And fema continues to work with local governments and their coronavirus response. Coming up next, we talk live with the regional director to learn more about the ongoing efforts and progress made. And after San Francisco mayor london breed apologized for her inaccurate comments that fema had diverted a shipment of ppe meant for San Francisco, we are talking with the agency. Joining me now is regional director bob fenton. Thank you so much for being here. You spoke with the mayor and set the record straight. What was your reaction to her initial comments. Let me start off by saying this event takes the nations response to come together to work through these issues. And so i was a little surprised when i heard her comments, but we had a good discussion, as we explained to her, the information she had was incorrect. And its about where we go from here and how we Work Together to continue to support San Francisco. Yeah, the mayor saying yesterday that she had been given inaccurate information from a third party on the third party was now being investigated. Talk a little bit about what fema is providing to San Francisco. So we are providing resources to the whole state of california and San Francisco through me three major lines of effort. The first major line of effort as we set up an air bridge from overseas manufacturers and about 80 of the medical supplies, ppe is manufactured overseas. We have about 100 planes wouldve come into the United States to expedite the movement of that ppe as it typically takes about 30 days by cs and now by air. Have existing Companies Directly for that. The second thing were doing is seeing manufacturing capable in the United States with contracts to them and additional Manufacturing Capabilities overseas. The third thing they are doing is price gouging with supplies and sees that input. Talk a little bit about the challenges that exist with getting cities, including san a situation where we are ad. Suppn resources just in time. Ppe manufactured overseas, those plants are set up to provide just enough to get to your home depot or whatever the place you go by them a and whats on the shelf is whats there. And whats behind that is whats coming on that ship. So what happens is at the beginning of this event there was a 200 demand with what was available and that has now gone up to, in some cases, 600 . What has to happen is the manufacturing people can always do that. Is not always retwiddling equipment comments bring in additional workers 24 sevengoin demand is going up. Once this happens, naturally there is a shortage that happens for resources like ppe. What we are trying to do is use a method to speed up and increase the volume. And get at hospitals and Grocery Stores i needed the most. That ultimately is the goal here. We really appreciate your time, thank you so much. Glad to be on, thank you heather. Lockdowns are coming to an end for several countries around the world foxes Benjamin Hall shows us how various countries. More than 3 Million People have tested positive for the coronavirus, but countries are taking different approaches using restrictions. In spain and italy people will be able to spend more time outside in the coming days, including more vulnerable groups. While in france officials will begin to open up stores and museums. Countries are taking a gradual approach to prevent a second wave. We are going to have to learn to live with the virus, given that no vaccine is available in the short term. The new measures sending people back to work. Every day there is zero dollars going into the bank it is concerning, as you can imagine. But its nice to see our customers again. Reporter meanwhile russia is far from lifting its lockdown, with cases surging in recent days. The virus is quickly spreading outside the capital of moscow, where people have been under lockdown for a month and the outbreak in the uk is about a week or two behind other countries. Lockdowns there remain in place after more than 21,000 people died from the virus. We are continuously opening new drivethrough centers for people who cant get to the test. Spending on testing to bring the tests to them. Reporter uk Health Officials and the testing will have to increase before lockdowns are listed. One of the largest labs in the country is offering an Antibody Test you can access online. And in bay area whether a temperature spike out there, 70s, 80s and even a few low 90s, but some big changes in the forecast for tomorrow. We talk about the cooldown and we will have the update, coming up. My gums are irritated. I dont have to worry about that, do i . Harmful bacteria lurk just below the gum line.

Oh, darn wha let me help. Lift and push and push there. Its up there. Hey joshie. Wrinkles send the wrong message. Help prevent them before they start with downy wrinkleguard. To Quest Diagnostics said you can order an Antibody Test online. It will show if someone has been exposed to the coronavirus and medical experts believe those people likely have some level of immunity. We are joined by doctor lee riley. Its good to have you here today. In terms of broadening the screening for people who have been infected previously coronavirus, how big of an impact you think this could make . Right now we dont really know a lot about this virus, so i think it may be a little premature to us to people will be protected with an antibody, that they might not after the infection. A couple of problems, one is we dont know enough about the virus to really say for sure you will be protected. Based on other types of coronavirus, like the first sars coronavirus, there some evidence that the protective antibody may last for about a year, but after that no, there is no evidence, but the main issue is the performance of these tests. Right now we dont have an Antibody Test thats 100 accurate. So if i may just go through some numbers, if you have, say 10,000 people in the news decide to go back to work or not, lets say 200 people are, lets say 2 of those people are indeed infected, right, lets say you have a test of 95 sensitive, you have to pick up 190 of those who are truly infected. And then there 100 people who arent infected. And if you do testis with 90 specific he will still have 400 people who test positive who test positive, about more than 60 of those are false positives. You going to allow these people to go back to work if there are more than 50 of the tests are false positive . This is the problem, when you have a relatively low percent of the people infected, you have to have a test thats 100 accurate, so this is something people should be cautioned about. Yeah, because we keep hearing this test is one of the key indicators in terms of where we can begin to reopen the economy. But doesnt having more people take this Antibody Test, isnt it going to give us a better snapshot, a big picture view of how much of the virus would have spread in the community . Yes, thats the only utility of this test, it will give you an indication of how many people got infected and what proportion of the population indeed got infected. But its not going to help you decide whether somebody can go back to work or not. Okay, real quick, but the test is 119, thats what Quest Diagnostics says. Should not be covered by insurance . Again, something the Insurance Company has to decide. From what i just told you about the adjusted performance of these tests, if it was 100 accurate, 100 sensitive, i think that would help the economy so maybe the Insurance Companies would be willing to pay for it. But you know, if we have some doubts about these issues, that im not sure if they would be willing to pay for it. Okay, yeah seems like some benefits more broadly to society. With these tests, i appreciate your insight today, thank you. Byebye. Things definitely heating up across many cities in the y in San Francisco its a little toasty. Yeah, thats right other. San francisco into the 70s and it feels like its in the 80s or 90 degrees. So yeah, temperatures soar today in the bay area and it comes is like a oneday deal with temperatures spiking today. Then we will cool things off heading into your forecast for tomorrow. Taking a look at some of the highest from this afternoon at walnut creek 90 degrees, hillsboro 87, San Francisco maxed out downtown in the lower 70s, 71 degrees. As far as the plan tomorrow, it will be a cooler wednesday. Some clouds with some fog in the morning and temperatures with hotspots today in the low 90s and maybe lower 80s for tomorrow afternoon. Heres the plan tomorrow morning, this forecast model is picking up on some low clouds and fog. Then into the afternoon hours a big batch of high clouds moving in and theres the eventual temperature range. Low 60s with the beaches, lots of 70s and the warm spots, close to 80 degrees. Today you can see what has been the weather story, this big letter h overhead, but as we look up stream this will settle in the Northern California and this will be the source of the cooling for tomorrow. Heres a closer look at the satellite. Come in closer and we will show you this visible spectrum of more clouds and fog developing your portions of the coastline. In fact, right now we have more of an onshore breeze developing, especially outward San Francisco and portions of the bay, closer to the entrance of the golden gate bridge. With that we are expecting low clouds, which are confined coast side right now and it will gradually spill into the bay heading into tonight and tomorrow morning. Outside right now we have clear skies and temperatures very one. Santa rosa mid80s, San Francisco has cooled off with the seabreeze. 65 degrees and 80s were livermore and san jose. Heres the forecast for tomorrow morning, this model is picking up on the fog and a big batch of high clouds moving in throughout the afternoon hours. Tomorrow we will at least have partly cloudy skies, even mostly cloudy skies throughout your wednesday. And once again the fog in the morning and clearing out for your thursday afternoon. For tomorrow, once again, the headline is it will be cooler than today and temperatures in the hotspots fairly closer to 80 degrees near fairfield in antioch. Oakland 69, san jose 76 and San Francisco in the mid 60s. Heres a look ahead at your five day. We will continue to cool things off into thursday and friday. As we go towards the weekend, if unclouded mix by saturday and on sunday we will picking up the clouds. No real raindrops in this forecast yet, but there is a slight chance toward mendocino county, northern Sonoma County where we are watching out that chance for the weekend. Right now cooler temperatures and more clouds for the back half of the weekend. Between now and then we are not talking about any major heat. If you like the warm temperatures, make the most of the next few hours because things change quite a bit heading into tomorrow. Its pretty nice weather in South Lake Tahoe. Local businesses are really hurting for tourism dollars. As doug johnson tells us, the mayor says it is not time to open up just yet. Reporter lake tahoe is just as beautiful, but covid19 still has Health Officials telling people to keep away. People overall have been pretty good about not coming up here to vacation right now, which is the big thing. Reporter the South Lake Tahoe mayor Jason Collins says its taking a toll on Small Businesses, which traditionally have relied on tourism dollars. Its tough. People are struggling and for the most part people are eager to get back to work and are asking, what can we do to minimize the health risk but also get back to business . Reporter the city does not have an Economic Development department. Thats why they have been directing Small Businesses to help while working on short and longterm solutions. We know we will always be a tourist economy, but how can we diversify that . If there is something that happened like this in the future, its not quite as devastating. Reporter meanwhile one of tahoes biggest attractions, the ski resort, had to shut down and what was shaping up to be a great spring ski season. Unfortunately just as this pandemic was kicking in. Reporter the directive to medications for the west coast seasonticket holders who didnt get to use their passes enough last season will get a credit for next season. For example if somebody bought an epic pass and didnt ski any days, then they have 790 to apply for an epic pass last next year. Reporter mayor collins says he will be rushing to open up his city. It will be datadriven, not date driven. Reporter but he is counting down the days until people can finally visit again. This is a special place, plenty to share, but not quite the time yet.

Also coming up in minutes, what we are learning about a new coronavirus outbreak at a bay area nursing home. Plus but could it be together, but thats not stopping a group of bay area musicians from a much anticipated performance. A pug in North Carolina has tested positive for the coronavirus, the first known case of a dock with covid19 and the u. S. Three people at the same home ive also tested positive. This has been very stressful and we are feeling very grateful we made it through. Reporter Heather Mclean and her family of four are fresh out of quarantine. In march all members of the family, except for her daughter, tested positive for covid19. We have all recovered. We felt great for the last two weeks. Everything seems very back to normal. Reporter on april 1st, the family doing a new study conducted by duke. They all came down to our house and took samples. For the humans they swab their noses and mouths. For animals they just do an oral swab. They did it to both dogs and the cats. Reporter one of her pets tested positive for the coronavirus. The study showed winston, the familys fun loving pug, contracted the virus. Researchers telus, to their knowledge, this is the first instance in which the coronavirus has been detected in a dog. It was in the midst of when we were all sick. Reporter she noticed something was off. Pugs are a little unusual, but they cough and sneeze in a very strange way. So it was almost like he was very gaggy and there was one day he didnt want to eat his breakfast. If you know pugs, they love to eat. So that seemed very unusual. Reporter the family says winston is doing a lot better and was only sick for a few days. Hopefully we will learn more through the research study. I think because there is not a lot of studies and sampling cuts, that we just dont know yet. But my place is not to get too worried about it. Back in early april, you may remember a tiger tested positive for covid19 at the bronx zoo. Reportedly the first known case of a wild animal contracting the virus.
