Look at the commute here. Traffic is moving along nicely. If youre driving on the east shore freeway getting out to the mcarthur maze, taking 16 minutes. At 4 01 back to headlines. Happening today, a stride by hospitals in santa rosa sat to begin in two hours with almost 700 essential workers preparing to walk picket lines in the middle of a pandemic. Ktvu has more on the reasons why. This whole thing with the strike during the pandemic is horrible. This housekeeper stood with staff outside santa rosa Memorial Hospital bracing for a week long strike they cant avoid. Its mentally draining to be a housekeeper at the hospital right now. I am so scared for my coworkers waelz. Scared because of risks taken. Cleaning rooms without ppe. Also on strike, nursing assistants and respiratory therapists, dietary aids and medical technician, front line workers amid covid19. In my Department Six people have gone home sick. No, we havent been given what we needed. Again, the hospital doesnt really care. Theyre just here to make money. Set to strike in february, the workers delayed due to the pandemic. Informational pickets have not brought a break through with staff and management divided on pay hikes and healthcare premiums. The contract expired a year ago. The hospital will bring in replacement workers and give it Emergency Department open. The north base only Trauma Center. Our other hospitals in the area, our wages dont compare with them. Were the trauma hospital. Something is wrong with that. Level two Trauma Center and we have old and outdated equipment, ventilators, outdated anesthesia machines, we have iv poles that arent even functional Memorial Management in a statement says we are deeply disappointed by the strike and as covid19 cases rise in sonoma continue to be prepared for the worst case scenario. It calls its offer generous during an extremely challenging environment for hospitals the hospitals are profitable. Its made them 200 million in operating profit in the last three years. Corporate parent providence received half a billion in covid19 stimulus. Why these workers will be on the sidewalk with picket signs instead of patient rooms where they say they belong. This is breaking our hearts. I love my patients and what i do. Im called to do what i do. But i cant keep doing it under these circumstances. Deborah vialone ktvu news.

The governor could also ask and talk about the pressure to reopen schools. The New York Times reports Governor Newsom was told he was have to personally ask for and thank President Trump if he wanted federal help obtaining coronavirus test swabs. The time since he made the call in april and publicly praised the president for his help during a news conference. The times article was about the president s response to the pandemic and the complexities of getting help from washington. More people are trying to pressure governor new many to reopen california. About 60 people held a rally outside the State Capitol yesterday. Some say they need to be allowed to open businesses which are in danger of shutting down permanently. Others say social restrictions should be loosened so their businesses which are open can survive financially. The rally organizer wants to see students in classrooms in the fall and Chelsea Adams says her six year old and two year old sons have autism and cant get what they need unless theyre with their teachers. One size doesnt fit all. These kids with autism, they need tactile teaching in person with the teacher reading cues from facial expressions.

Starting today, San Francisco is pausing the reopening plans after a surge of coronavirus cases and hospitalizations landed the city back on the state watch list. Sara tells us that a new health order is scheduled to be issued to address the restrictions and to make testing more available. From the beginning governor gavin newsom said reopening should be viewed as a dimmer switch. Now the state is moving that switch down in San Francisco. A rise in coronavirus hospitalizations, San Francisco was put on californias watch list which means. We are continuing to pause our reopening process indefinitely. Starting monday, state guidelines require all indoor malls and nonessential offices in San Francisco to close. A new health order will be issued monday to expand access to testing especially for front line workers and people who have had close contact with coronavirus cases. Mayor london breed sas reinstructions wont be lifted until the spread of the virus slows. I know some people are upset. But you know what, its bigger than one person or two people. We have to think about the bigger picture. Many new cases of coronavirus in San Francisco can be blamed on family and friends getting together in groups according to the San Francisco joint information center. Thats called stupid. Real stupid. Thats how it spread i dont agree with the large groups. It just is not very healthy. Maybe like two or three people. And those people should be in the same home. San francisco Health Officials say if they cant get a handle on the spread they will close additional businesses and act hits that go beyond the states restrictions. Their recommendation, wear a mask and keep your distance. We have flattened this curve once and we must do it again. Time is now 4 08. The future looked blaek and uncertain for a landmark bay area restaurant. Im talking about the cliff house, an historic restaurant on ocean beach in San Francisco that opened 150 years ago but its suffering during the pandemic. Officials at the cliff house say no meals will be served today. We dont know if the shut down is temporary or permanent. The clip house has been losing money since since it shut down in march and recently offered take out food only. We have been doing it for 46 weeks now and financially it just makes no sense. We have gone through fires, flooding and earthquakes, government shut downs, really whatever has been thrown at us, the cliff house comes back. Back in 1918 the cliff house stayed in business during the last global pandemic. But no one is sure whats next for the historic restaurant that has served president s, World Leaders and movie stars since the 1800s. At San Francisco union square, a popular restaurant there has closed for good. The restaurant opened 48 years ago in the basement of the cornell hotel. The family owned restaurant known for unique ambiance and affordable food. It shut down during march during the shelter in place order. Now the owner says they are closed for good because of the economic shut down. Dont forget, the ktvu news app has county by county updates on the bay areas reopening plan.

Rest assured, you are not alone. Weve all had to adapt. And with summer here, your energy bills might go up with rising temperatures. Together, we can save energy and money. Try closing your shades during the day. Setting your ac to 78 or higher. Or cooling off with a fan when you can. United we are always stronger. Stay well, california, and keep it golden. N95 white Green Hospital blue. These are the colors of one nation uniting in gratitude thankful for everyone who wears these colors to the fight. We salute you. Its 4 12. Starting today major retail chains are implementing the no mask, no service rule at all stores in the u. S. Walmart, sams club, cvs walgreens, target, home depot and lowes will require customers and employees to wear masks before entering the front doors at all stores. Many of the stores are also offering curb side pick up. With the coronavirus numbers rising across the country, there are growing calls for a National Mandate for face coverings. The cdc says if everyone wore a mask for 46 weeks we could get the virus under control. But President Trump says he wont implement a nationwide mandate. I think masks are good. But i leave it up to the governors. Many of the governors are changing and more masks they like the concept of mask but some of them dont agree. The next debate over masks is expected when schools reopen and the decision will have to be made on whether to require students to wear a face covering. Theres a growing acceptance in europe as an effective way to keep the virus from spreading. People in britain have to wear a face mask when they go in a store anywhere in the country. We want to give people more confidence to shop safely and enhance protections for those who work in shops. Both of these can be done by the use of face coverings. Across europe the use of face masks is becoming more common in stores, schools, airports and even on the beach. The fda is thordzing pool testing for covid19. That will allow up to four people to be tested as once speeding up the results. The fda says emergency use authorization allows diagnosisists to use the covid19 tests with samples from four people tested at the same time. If the pool tests positive, it means one or more people tested in the pool may be infected with the virus. Each sample would have to be tested individually. The British Drug Company as tra zenica is planning a controversy test for its vaccine candidate. It wants to conduct a human challenge trial. Thats when researchers deliberately infect a test subject with the virus. Its frequently done with proven vaccines but in this case, theres no known cure for the coronavirus. As trazenica said it would be carried out on people that are healthy in their 20s so the risk is slow. Plans for the coming school year will be submitted by the west contra costa school district. It includes bringing together small groups of students on campus again when its considered safe. Each group would also have teachers and child care staff with priority given to students most in need of academic support as well as food and services. If the county approves it, it would still are the o be approved by the staff and teachers. Time is 4 16. A harvard student from the bay area is educating others during the pandemic.

Classes had are a mix of traditional and nontraditional courses including game theory, satire writing and the culture values of hip hop. Courses are free and said the goal is to provide all students equal opportunities to succeed.
