Commute . Overall, kari, the commute looks great. We take a look at the big map and you see green sensors except for one spot. Well zoom in on it. Tough to see from this view. Its over in brentwood. Highway 4 is closed because of im not sure. Its either a headon crash between a car and a big rig or a car that hit a guardrail. A big difference there.

Counties are in the purple tier and i want to break down what that means whether you live in the county or do not. Take a look at the list of counties on the list of items on your screen. This is the restrictions for the counties in purple. Items on the left are businesses required to operate outside. They include restaurants, wineries, gyms, museums, zoos, card rooms and places of worship. Those items on the right side can continue indoors. Malls and retail shops can continue inside but at 25 capacity. Beauty shops, barber shops and other personal Care Services can remain inside as long as youre following the appropriate protocols.

Since the pandemic began with more than 10,000 cases reported since yesterday. More than 18,000 people with the virus have now died in our state. Including 94 deaths in the past 24 hours. In the last week or so, a lot of items sold out early in the pandemic are selling out again amide this new second wave and rise in cases and the holiday rush. Ktvu has been looking into the increased demand and tells us what Grocery Stores are doing in the face of this second surge in sales. When the pandemic began, toilet paper, paper towels, disinfectants, sugar, rice, flour, and other items were swept from the shelves. Consumer Brands Association executive, katie denis says though actual pandemic sales went up only 21 above normal, that was enough to create months of shortages that forced rationing.
