And in case youre counting or if youre not, we are. Weve been sheltering in place in the bay area for 71 days. And Santa Cruz County is extending their stayathome order through july 1st, but tonight the county is moving deeper into phase 2 starting at midnight. The county health order just went out a short time ago, and aligns with the states current guidance. But the heat is definitely making the shelter in place even more difficult for some. We have Team Coverage on the heatwave. Abc7 News ReporterLeslie Brinkley and Wayne Freedman are looking at how people are trying to beat the heat, but Spencer Christian has a look at your forecast, and well start there with spencer. Hey. All right, kristen, its another scorcher. Two record highs in the bay area so far. Santa rosa and san jose have both topped out so far at 97 degrees. Those both locations have set new record highs for this date. And the temperatures could be even higher there right now. Lets take a look. 78 in san francisco. Oakland, 85. 94 redwood city. San jose down to 94 degrees right now. 101 at gilroy. 74 at pacifica. Check out these readings. Look at how many tripledigits we have. 104 at fairfield. 100 at concord. 101 at livermore. 94 in napa. 99 at petaluma. Still 97 in santa rosa. And i should remind you, we are still under a heat advisory across virtually all of the bay area until 7 00 p. M. Thursday. And an excessive heat warning in solano county. Ill give you a closer look at the heat and when it may leave us, in a few minutes. All right, spencer. Lets get to abc7 News ReporterLeslie Brinkley, who is live in walnut creek now with a look at how the coronavirus is really creating changes for people who are trying to cope with tripledigit temperatures. Leslie . Well, as you can guess, it is suffocatingly difficult to wear a mask of any kind out in this kind of heat. Of course, if youve got ac, youre absolutely golden. But if not, you some very severely limited choices. There arent many options for beating the heat. Movie theaters and malls closed. Same for libraries and even cooling centers that usually offer respite to desperate seniors on extraordinarily hot days like this. Even local purveyors of ice cream are closed. The county is getting worried phone calls. Normally we would suggest that they go to their local senior center. We have 16 of them in this county and if one wasnt available, we would recommend that they go to a mall or a movie theater. With covid, there is different advice being dispensed. Were asking them to stay home, hydrate. As you know, older adults tend to become dehydrated easier. Mask wearing measures become stifling for those who attempt to go out. This mask is very difficult to breathe because the air and the oxygen doesnt come through the material very well. We are in meetings with our community partners. Actually, today as we speak to kind of determine where we go from here. Throughout the east bay, there are no clear solutions. We dont have an option with this Current Health order. The constraints were part of what this Contra Costa Health officer discussed with the board of supervisors today as the covid case count continues to increase from 14 a day a couple of weeks ago to 26 a day now. Some of it attributable to more testing. Of course the best way to beat the heat is the community that too is off limits right now. Shade and a park okay, but sitting on park bench not okay. So, again, limited options. And going forward, if there were to be another heatwave in another week or two, right now there are no clear plans of how to address covid with the heat. Reporting live in walnut creek, im Leslie Brinkley, abc7 news. All right, leslie, thank you. So in san mateo county, thousands of people went to state beaches last weekend. Just one problem.

Theyre talking about crowds that swarmed state beaches in an around Half Moon Bay last weekend, an influx made worse by intentionally closed parking lots and some rest rooms at those beaches. California state parks have been trying to enforce restricted access from 11 00 a. M. To 5 00 p. M. Those restrictions worked even less well then than they did today. Everyoe deserves to go out. Just be protected. Use your mask and do what you need to do. But Half Moon Bay paid a price. Quote, we had people defecating on homeowners lawns. They were parking in sensitive neighborhoods and crossing over sensitive habitats. There was trash everywhere, said jessica blair, who speaks for the city. In those neighborhoods, residents went into selfdefense mode, putting out cones and cars in front of their houses. Catherine lee enjoyed the relative quiet today. I felt like it was coachella, because there are groups of people five to ten people at a time throwing trash. I actually met a girl on the beach that was runnin around, and i thought she was had lost her dog or a child. She looked frantic. And then she said to me, where are the bathrooms .
