Yeah, so i just want to actually remind some of our viewers you can put your questions on youtube and facebook right now, and put them there, dr. Philip, run us through what were seeing in the city and in the county. What we are seeing in San Francisco is unfortunately the same thing that were seeing elsewhere and elsewhere throughout the united states. I think weve seen on the news that cases have been going up of covid19 and unfortunately, that is the case here in San Francisco as well. What trends are you seeing the cases might be coming up or going up. We are digging now what we do now is that our indicators are pretty sensitive and they let us know pretty early on that the rate of new cases that we were being reported to us are going up. What were doing now is having some of the epidemiologists and data experts dig more to find out what might be going on. But we know th

Stephanie sierra has been tracking this for weeks and she joins us with the latest. Stephanie . Congress has single out quantum corporation, a Data Storage Company based in san jose for refusing to return 10 million in federal funding. And as of today, its not looking likely that will happen. If there is anybody out there that misuses this program, we will find you. This is House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy nearly a month ago. The congressman urging big Public Companies to return federal funding intended for small businesses. You will not want the reputation that you will soon get if you take advantage. But it appears that warning doesnt cushion quantum. The data storage giant someone of five u. S. Companies singled out by a congressional select subcommittee that quantum return funds immediately and clearly pointed out the company that has a market value over 150 million doesnt meet the qualifications to be eligible for the help. It is possible that they will get in trouble. I spoke
Childcare camps, educational and recreational programs, outdoor businesses like nurseries and landscaping, certain outdoor recreati recreational facilities. Not all. Golf courses and all businesses must update and create social distance protocol as part of the reopening, of course.

Joining me is a Public Health officer of San Francisco. Thank you for joining us. Im so happy youre here. There is so much to unpack. I watch the confer

I will emphasize a couple of things in advance of the doctors comment. We have no newly diagnosed cases in San Francisco of the coronavirus at this time. There are a total of 11 cases across the country that had been reported. Six in california. Two patients diagnosed in a nearby county who were transferred to ucsf. I want to emphasize again, we have no newly diagnosed cases in San Francisco. I also think its very important that we, as a Health Department, express that this is Public Health. This is classic Public Health. We have been through a number of these preparations with sars, with h1n1, with concerns around ebola and so we have expertise in this area to be as prepared as possible. Obviously, its not possible to fully people for every plausible scenario, but were taking, basically, scientific step
