But west bound 5. 80 remains problem free as you try to make your way up to the north bay total drive time right now standing at 7 minutes all have the san mateo bridge and the golden gate coming up in just a bit james darya thanks so its 6 oh one lets get to our top story this morning which is the fact that more than 2800 people died of coronavirus yesterday alone. Well set a new record of more than a 185,000 new Coronavirus Infections reported its hard its hard because its been dragging on and the months go by anything said they better. And its exactly the opposite its getting worse. Santa clara county is seeing record covid cases and hospitalizations and there are new outbreaks in Nursing Homes and long care facilities and large outbreaks at homeless shelters as well we have kron will tran live in san jose now to talk more about. All of this good morning. Well. That was the fear james in duryea that those places would come down with covid19 which is why the Health Department about 9 months ago they preemptively told those places how to take care of the people inside but even then we are seeing explosion in cases at the homeless shelters in exactly 2. Nursing homes that have over 200 cases as far as a homeless shelter, 56. People have come down with covid19 that includes obviously the people who who work there and the people who are staying there and then as far as the homeless shelters. We are talking the amber woods gardens nursing home that particular place has about a 150 cases and then another place which theyre not saying the name of thats another 86 cases over 200 at those 2 facilities alone and they say this is not even into deep into the woods as far as covid19 cases, the Health Department they are doing their very best to try to slow it down but theyre saying the reason why those particular facilities are seeing an explosion in cases. So many people are coming and going. Cases rise in the community. That also means that there are more cases they get introduced into these current settings more what we provide we provide testing resources. So we can identify everyone whos been infected. And we provide technical in terms of helping them. Identify of Infection Prevention measures that they can implement to prevent the spread. Okay, so lets continue to talk about the nursing centers, the people who did come down with covid19 the Staff Members they have been removed from those facilities so they have isolated that as far as some of the other people theyre doing their very best to try to treat them at this point were not hearing of any fatalities from those particular cases at the 3 facilities. But lets talk about the fatalities county wide. It is surreal james and your yulia sevices my camerawoman this morning and we were talking about we re here earlier this year when 2440 cases seen mind blowing. Now if youre waking up this morning in Santa Clara County, youre sitting at more than 36,600 cases over the past 9 months in close to 500 people died from covid19 and he probably will get even worse. Back to you unfortunately i think you may be right well, thank you very much for the update. The outbreaks in Santa Clara County are not limited to Nursing Homes covid cases are also being reported and juvenile detention facilities. Its the first outbreak in Santa Clara Countys Juvenile Hall and William F James ranch facilities. More than a dozen people, including youth and staff are infected. One deputy public defender believes the county has failed to keep incarcerated youth safe and says now is the time to release those in custody because of covid. Unless there is a demonstrated need to hold these in in custody, them they should be out because the facility has proven itself incapable of protecting them and keeping them healthy hes already vulnerable kids have been subject to this deadly virus. Santa clara countys adult jails have already experienced outbreaks and they have been releasing inmates to bring down the risk of transition transmission that San Mateo County Health Officials have seen a slow and steady rise in hospitalizations. Overall capacity right now is only about 70 but in anticipation of a surge in the coming weeks officials have moved some equipment from the San Mateo County event center to hospitals across the country or the cross the county i should say event center was set up months ago to treat patients if hospital so ran out of beds, but so far it hasnt needed to be used. Officials say they even have more options if the number of cases rises beyond current hospital capacity. In San Mateo County. Our capacity is great we can actually stand up. The national guard. We can actually use on 369 of that hospital which is seen hospital. All patients being treated in San Mateo County or local residents. But it is possible that additional patients could be brought in from other areas if needed. Well here are the latest local numbers as it relates to the coronavirus california has a state now has seen more than one 0. 2 million cases since the pandemic began with more than 19,000 deaths so far as for the bay area were looking at more than a 156,000 cases with more than 1900 people died from coronavirus 6 or 7 is the time and the bay area could be ringing in the new year with a new stay at home order because of the surge in coronavirus the governor says. That theyre going to be new rules. If hospital capacities and icy use or slammed for a room for patients. The stay at home order goes into effect by region. If there are fewer than 1515 if theyre less than 15 . Of hospital beds left in that region. Right now in the bay area. Weve got 25 of the beds are Still Available and icu so we havent reached that 15 threshold. But at this rate if we see these hospitalizations continue to increase the order could go into effect in the bay area by the end of this month. And it would last for 3 weeks when it happens. And it would mean many different businesses would close that have been opened so far and are open right now bars wineries hair salons barber shops. If the order comes those would all close retail would stay open, but they would be limited to 20 capacity cdc more lines at the stores that want to go to. And the big change would be restaurants. If this kicks in restaurants, you can only have take out so no more Outdoor Dining even. Once these new rules kick in. Business owners are sounding off on the possibility of this type of shut down we spoke with the manager of a day spa in downtown lafayette. She says the governors announcement is already confusing her clients. A lot of our clients. By canceling theyre trying to get in sooner before the closure happens. Countless businesses like this were first to close for months the first time around in the pandemic and remember theyre not closed yet. When and if that order comes though it will happen within 24 hours. Well the other big part of the stories that San Francisco leaders might actually act sooner than the state in banning Outdoor Dining might even come as soon as this weekend thats what some Restaurant Owners are hearing which means that today could be the last day you can enjoy eating outside we have kron 4 Sarah Stinson live in San Francisco now with the latest on the story, good morning sara. James weve been on edge all week weve been saying mayor london breed and Health Officials are going to have a big announcement theyre going to put more restrictions on the city on top of the purple to restrictions on top of whatever the governor says and were thinking today could be that day because thats a Restaurant Owners are hearing look at this restaurant here on union street you can see how much work they put into it they have christmas decorations. They have heat lamps in here, its covered rain or shine they would be prepared to see people here. However, no matter what the weather is they could just not have to be able to at all it could be banned on top of everything as we know the order hasnt been triggered get for San Francisco, the stay at home order by the governor that wont happen until we have 15 of the icu beds left thats expected to happen within the next week week or 2 thats what theyre predicting. However, Restaurant Owners say theyve been told by Industry Leaders that the city is planning to shut down dining before that by midnight tonight. So to today and tonight could be the last opportunity for people of course before 10 00pm to eat outdoors and for restaurants to utilize their outdoor seating boxes theyve spent thousands of dollars on the setups that restaurants have done have been so creative so to their just making sure that people feel comfortable because it has been chilly especially when the sun goes down Restaurant Owners tell us this is extremely frustrating to hear that it could be shut down before the stay at home order in goes in place. I mean its tough its so so tough to to put all that energy into building this winter ice parklet that we have over here were going to weigh all of options whether we close during the or we stick you know delivery options, but delivery options are really feasible for us. We have reached out to the Mayors Office to see if they are in fact going to shut down Outdoor Dining at midnight, but we have not heard back yet either way its looking not so good for Restaurant Owners theyre either going to have to shut down at midnight. Some time this weekend or within the next week from the governors stay at home order then they have to switch to take out, but as you just heard from that restaurant owner. Maybe theyll to shut down altogether. Reporting live in San Francisco Sarah Stinson kron 4 news right.

Well, its looking like the next couple of weeks at least are going to be holding up with this trend of weather with sunshine dry skies. And in the 60s for your daytime highs now today at the coast obviously some pretty Clear Conditions out there now that weve got a little brightness you can see that there really is any fog to talk about at the coastline near Half Moon Bay view is nice and clear so maybe youre going to head out to the ocean today in which case. You do need to know that we do have some advisories that have been extended into the afternoon today were continuing to see high swells and sneaker waves right along the shoreline, these swells are actually peaking during overnight hours and will gradually diminish the rest of the day today but do watch out for dangerous rip out there along the coastline advisories remain in effect until 03 00pm today. They were initially set to expire yesterday. So this is an extension of those dangerous conditions along the coast. Elsewhere in the bay area really nothing to know except sunshine 60s stuff, weve got used to lately futurecast shows you that we are going to be looking at dry skies, not just through the day today but on to the weekend tomorrow sunday remains dry but i am expecting a few more clouds to close out the weekend on sunday. High pressure is in place were staying mild or staying sunny with this highpressure youre going to notice some haze in place yet again today this High Pressure results and sinking in stagnant air and that has resulted in some smoggy conditions in parts of the bay area so less than ideal air quality thats one of the downsides of the High Pressure that we do have the downside of the dry conditions as of course the deepening drought that were in the midst your latest Drought Monitor just released yesterday shows you that extreme drought continues in red for the north bay and deepening severe drought for the rest of the bay area in orange.

No only 11 minutes coming out the livermore vasco area out to the dublin interchange ill have bridge checks and drive times coming up in just a bit back to the new saints are so we have some breaking news to tell you about from overnight look at these pictures a car crashes into a Doctors Office in San Francisco, this was at the gets well personalized pediatric sits on the corner batavia and union streets. This is video from the scene earlier this morning. Kron 4 Sarah Stinson was there captured so the imagery force you can see the car shattered. The window there destroyed the octavia street sign and a city bench, not clear if anybody was hurt. But we have reached out to the San Francisco Fire Department for more information well keep you updated as we learn more about what happens this is lucky. Im right. In National News the Supreme Court wants judges in california to re examine the states ban. On indoor worshiping yeah, this comes days after the 9 justices recently ruled in favor of churches and synagogues in new york. We have doug johnson with more on what this ruling now means for californias houses of worship. Todays Supreme Court order may not have been exactly what pasedena base Harvester Church what case against californias covid19 restrictions. It did not get the same ruling the court made in a similar case in new york state they said were not going to give you that were going to do is were going to send this case back to the court that at this and theyre going to have to decide whether in fact they grant order or not light of the decision that leading the professor of law Leslie Jacobs says the order could be seen as encouraging for the churchs case will require the lower courts here and probably other places to more of these. To look at our states order and the claim by harvest in light of what the Supreme Court said with regard to the new york or. Whoever jacobs points out the circumstances in new york and california are very different new york severely limited capacity at houses of worship across the board based on mapped out zones and in your case had evidence of discrimination against the Orthodox Jewish community there some evidence on the record statements and then also the way the lights were try that made the courts this looks like maybe youre treating religion specially. Jacob says californias tier system is much different from new yorks zone system. Because it adds explanations for each tier ever use in the order had it hears has offered reasons and arm will say. I was off and do exist. Plus jacobs says the court will also recognize californias warmer climate. I park service says i will point out california got so thats a little more possible to court reconsider but in the end jacob says that harvests rocks legal argument is a strong one base on the United States constitutions First Amendment claiming governor newsoms order is illegal. Because it treats churches differently from other nonreligious grou
Today rebeccas been talking some nicer conditions on roadways then i think we normally do see with a few exceptions one of those 2. 80 yeah thats right john just minor exceptions, its friday. So at least were seeing friday light traffic so that is the good news out there. But yeah. I am following a Traffic Alert that high causing some snags on southbound 2. 80 run it magdalena its an overturned big rig. So its been out there for quite some time because folks are trying to get thats a big rig. Good uprighted and onto a flatbed tow truck to get out of there. But in the meantime the 2 right lanes are tied up so try to take one oh one or all camino real in the meantime as your alternates those that really good right now. Another commute that looks great as euro. Drive into San Francisco, a lot of sunshine and its just beautiful lightly traveled of course friday light eightminute drive time for your westbound 80 right over to the fremont street exit across the upper deck also called the bridges coming up in just a bit james darya thanks a lot rebecca. Or top story this morning. We have more than 2800 people now dying of coronavirus yesterday alone and a new record of more than a 185,000 new coronavirus infections. Reporter and by all accounts, its going to be a way worse before it gets better and thats why we could see rollbacks drastic shut down Santa Clara County. Theyre seeing an increase in hospitalizations and outbreaks in Nursing Homes a homeless shelter big outbreak there 2 now becoming a problem more so than it was before kron fours will tran live in san jose. With more on the story will. James im in front of the Health Department and they were fearful of this they were talking about Nursing Homes and homeless shelters, 9, 8, months ago and that they were potential hot spots and unfortunately, their worst fears came true as far as those locations because they have seen dozens more than 200 cases of covid19 and thats just the latest numbers of course we get daily or weekly updates when covid19 far as the homeless shelter is concerned in Santa Clara County. Its the the Reception Center with approximately 50 cases of covid19 including people who stay there and work there and the excuse me the Nursing Centers, 2 of them in particular one we do know that they released the name. Its the amber woods gardens and that particular place has about a 150 covid19 cases with people who stay there as well as those who work and then another location theyre not releasing the name of that, but thats approximately 86. Cases at those at that particular location as well. So well over 200 cases in just 2 locations it could get even worse because according to the Health Department a lot of the workers are rotating from place to place. Cases rise in the community. That also means that there are more cases that get introduced into these current settings more what we provide we provide testing resources. So we can identify everyone whos been infected. And we provide technical in terms of helping them identify of Infection Prevention measures that they can implement to prevent the spread. So why theyre going place to place a lot of the workers because theyre so shortstaffed many nursing home said you might work at a place from monday through wednesday and then go to another facility and help out at that other facility, the Health Department they will step in and provide some of the workers that have been removed from the Nursing Centers because of covid19 for them to get their treatment overall in Santa Clara County this morning. Its around 36,600 cases in the past 9 months with close to 500 people who have died from covid19 it is a surreal experience for me to be here because its been months james and darya since ive been here and i remember being here in the first few weeks the first month or so when we were talking about how was when he was around 48. For 50 cases and now were talking 36,600 back to you. All right, thank you very much well. Incredible how things have exploded theyre also seeing a big outbreak as well in Santa Clara County. Reported at their juvenile detention facilities. They have outbreaks now at Santa Clara Countys juvenile hall. And William F James ranch facilities. More than a dozen people including youth and staff are infected. One deputy public defender believes the county has failed to keep incarcerated you safe. So they should be set free from custody. There is a demonstrated need to hold these in in custody, them they should be out because the facility has proven itself incapable of protecting them and keeping them healthy hes already vulnerable kids have been subject to this deadly virus. Santa clara countys adult jails have already had outbreaks and theyve been releasing inmates to bring down the risk of transmission. Well San Mateo County Health Officials have seen a slow but steady rise in hospitalizations overall capacity right now is at about but in anticipation of a surge coming in just a matter of weeks officials have moved some equipment from the San Mateo County event center to hospitals now across the county that event center you may remember was set up months ago to treat patients if hospital beds ran out. So far that hasnt been needed in Officials Say they even have more options if the number of cases rises beyond current Hospital Capacity. In San Mateo County. Our capacity is great we can actually stand up. The national guard. We can actually use on 369 of that hospital which is seen hospital. Theyre all patients being treated in San Mateo County or local residents. However, it is possible that additional patients could be brought in from other areas if needed. Well here are the latest coronavirus numbers for california and the bay area statewide we have more than one 0. 2 almost 1. 3 million confirmed cases so far with about 19 and a half 1000 people dying from it. In the bay area along were looking at more than a 156,000 cases with more than 1900 people dying from covid19 8 07 and that this all means the bay area could ring in the new year with a stay at home order. Like we havent seen since the pandemic began governor newsome just released the new rules. And what theyre going to do is watch for Hospital Capacity and that will kick in the stay at home orders depending on the region and the bay area, including model and santa cruz has become one of those regions. Trigger point is when you get down to just 15 . Hospital capacity in the icu when you just a 15 left right now the bay area weve got 25 in icu beds, so its not going to kick in here yet, but it could kick in for example in southern matter of you know a day for us if you look at the numbers and they play out the way they are going we could look at a stay at home order shut down by the end of this month and that would mean big changes and whats open and whats not so weve been used to bars wineries hair salons in all and the like then able to go into the barbershop know those will close and also about another huge change will be Outdoor Dining, wed go back to have and to just get takeout food and bring it home there be no more dining at restaurants and any sort when and if this kicks him james. Well San Francisco could actually jump the gun looks lihe San Francisco leaders, potentially could be acting sooner to clamp down then the state mandate in terms of banning Outdoor Dining a lot of Restaurant Owners that were hearing from say there rumor mill has that this weekend it could come down which means today might be the last day to enjoy eating outside crawford. Sarah stinson is live in San Francisco with more on what we know so far sarah. James yeah, its looking like San Francisco is going to beat the stay at home order to it in banning Outdoor Dining. If we still havent confirmed this with the Mayors Office but weve heard from Restaurant Owners that may think that its going to be tonight at midnight when outdoor banning gets Outdoor Dining gets banned, so this is something Restaurant Owners are really not looking forward to in fact theyre frustrated take a look at video just shot this morning. This is from the Marina District of San Francisco. I mean these restaurants went all out with on not only type of Outdoor Dining these boxes that they took up a parking spot. They have it ready for rain or shine they have heating lamps inside they have christmas decorations. I mean some of them even have themes that go with their restaurants types of food, so its just sad that they one through all this effort and its going to be banned. I mean you know its could be banned if the stay at home order gets triggered for San Francisco. But that just hasnt happened yet and again that wont happen until we have 15 of icu beds left thats expected to happen within the next week or 2, however Restaurant Owners say again theyve been told Industry Leaders the citys planning to shut down Outdoor Dining by midnight so today and tonight could be the last opportunity of course before 10 00pm people can eat outdoors until then well have to see if that actually becomes true. The setups that restaurants have done have been so creative so Restaurant Owners tell us the 6 stream lea frustrating. I mean its tough its so so tough to to put all their energy into building this winter ice parklet that we have over here were going to weigh all of our options whether we close during the or we stick you know delivery options, but delivery options are really feasible for us. Its been an extremely hard time for Restaurant Owners in for really any owner of any business in the bay area. Now ive been checking the mayors twitter nonstop just refreshing still no update. So well let you know when we hear something but it could be midnight tonight could be some time this weekend or well just wait for that stay at home order which again could go into effect sometime within the next week. Doctor colfax the citys. Health Department Director he says that. He believes this is something that we need to do to get ahead of the curve is basically a preemptive measure to make sure that we dont get down to that 15 left of icu beds so well have to see how this all goes down. James the front send it back to you. And its a waiting game to see when they make that call sarah thank you very much for the update. Well now to some breaking news from overnight a car crashes into a pediatricians office in San Francisco. It was at the gets well personalized pediatrics right there on the corner of octavia and union streets. This is video from the scene in fact it was kron 4 Sarah Stinson who was out there earlier this morning. And she recorded this for us and you can see a window was assign a city bench also destroyed as well at least one person was hurt. Thats what weve been able to confirm were still waiting for more details from San Francisco Fire Department officials on what exactly happened. Well keep you updated throughout the morning as more information comes in so stay tuned. A 12 time and still ahead the push from bay area leaders to make Public School educators a priority when it comes to being first in line to get a covid shot. And still ahead in the buzz, the 49 ers are added in arizona coach and am though is still mad at the way they were run out of town. In 15 right now looking at a nice friday and what looks to be a good weekend to yeah i think so weve got in the Weather Center has been tell us all morning long how its going to stay nice and just sort of cool in the afternoon with plenty of sunshine. Yeah, hey guys its a good forecast to get you still definitely a good chance to get used to it. Because weve been looking at these dry conditions in the 60s for a while now and were going to see plenty more of them in the days to head to today looking a lot like yesterday a little bit on the hazy side this morning. You notice that haze across the bay yesterday about something thats going to continue for a whole lot of the bay into the afternoon today skies will remain dry and for the most part, pretty clear and blue at the coastline today we do have a continuation of advisories as were seeing a high swell now swell at the coast did peak last night, those dangerous waves will gradually come into the afternoon, but we still do have the risk of sneaker waves as well as dangerous rip currents. Well till 03 00pm today, so if your plans involve heading to the coast today that is definitely something you want to know before you head out that direction now is keep an eye on the waves as you do make that walk on the beach futurecast showing clear skies across the region today into tomorrow as well. Im expecting a few clouds on sunday but by no means any chance of rain or mountain snow. We remain dry through the weekend and were going to stay that way into next week too. This unfortunately does mean deepening drought across the region Drought Monitor an updated look at it from yesterday shows you that we do have severe drought in this golden hue for the broader bay area and for the north bay, some extreme drought returning as we do look at these dry conditions now from the end of november all the way through this first week of december now todays daytime highs in the meantime well be in the 50s and 60s most of us in the 60s.

All right john thank heading outside right now were checking out a hot spot that ive been following over the last couple of hours, its an overturned big rig on northbound 2 80 run at magdalene avenue. The 2 right lanes are still blocked as crews are trying to get off of the roadway for you. But it is backing up into cupertino so definitely avoid to 8 if you can instead take El Camino Real or you can always take a one oh one. Both in the northbound direction they run parallel to 2. 80 thats going to be your better bet this morning. A nice commute.
