Were seeing that tonight. Lets bring in ian cull. Tell us what youre seeing. Reporter were at the market in edgewood, but it could be any store in the bay area. This is the store ive been to. The viewers are really reaching out to us. Were going to do a little walkthrough. The pasta aisle is basically empty. You might be able to get some lasagne noodles. Meats mostly out as well. There is a lot of fresh fruit that people seem to be stocking up on, but theyve got a good supply here. Potatoes, running low on those as well, and onions, even, as well. One of the things, though, that theyre running out of a lot is the foezrozen food, the frozen dinners, the pizza, unfortunately, one of my favorites, then the meat as well. This is the organic aisle. Its completely wiped out. The butcher is out of many things. The owner tells me this really isnt the best time to go to the Grocery Store, because right now some stores are adjusting their schedules to give themselves time to restock. Theyre also receiving half their shipment sometimes, not because food is running low but because demand is so high. Even as there is a rush to buy groceries, keep in mind that Grocery Stores are going to remain open, and here at the market in edgewood, theyre calling all their people in. The chef is even helping people bag in the front as well. But a lot of people going out and buying groceries. Remember, its still going to be a shelter in place, but this is a pretty common sight across the bay area. Within the last 30 minutes, another stunning announcement from San FranciscoHealth Officials. 30 Homeless People are in the hospital with symptoms and have been tested for the virus, but the results of those tests are not available yet.

Scott budman is live in Mountain View for that part of the story. Scott . Reporter good evening, janelle. Many of the restaurants are normally busier. They have been struggling since the onset of coronavirus. Some tell us they are worried about even paying their staff. Tonight restaurants all along the bay area face a new challenge, not just a few regular customers gunshy to go out and eat a little meal with friends, those customers have been told to stay home, so the restaurant has to change to a takeoutbased business. Now they hope people are still hungry for Mediterranean Food and want to order takeout. People still at home, this is citywide. Everyone is working at home in the office, and they will need company, you know . Reporter he worries even if local residents choose takeout orders, restaurants will still struggle because companies arent ordering food for meetings and other gatherings, and they woint fnt for a while these restaurants are extra worried because they really have no idea how long this will last.

I spent the day sanitizing my house, following the cdc guidelines, which is really going through every single doorknob in my house, every surface, using the antibacterial that says its registered with the epa. Then every faucet, really following my steps through the house where we touch. Then after that i lysoled it all. I did the same thing with my car, set up my car. I have a big box of gloves that i carry with me everywhere i go. If i leave the house, ive got my mask as well if i need to use that. And really the big thing is anybody who comes in and out of my house has to wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water, warm water for 30 seconds, and theres just no exception for that. Reporter we certainly have a czechlist based on what you said. Weve done that in our newsroom and now throughout our homes. Well check with you throughout the week. Stay with us. This shelter in place order impacting all parts of life. What it means for our criminal justice system.

How this directive to stay in place, shelter in place in six counties, are impacting trials is robert handa. Reporter they started going down the list of cases they would take on, delaying just about every civil case except those involved with custody or domestic violence. But there will be no shelter in place here. This is the long line of people waiting to get into court this morning. At that point, socalled out of custody cases, people charged with nonviolent crimes, were still on the calendars. There were about 20 people in the courtroom sitting very close. Reporter they were sitting close . Very close. The seats in the courtroom are right next to each other. Reporter what are your concerns .

We have a lot of contact with the public, so been getting calls all morning where theyre not understanding where we are continuing to do this. Reporter the Public Defenders Office also expressed concerns about the lack of effective screening of people with symptoms or considered high risk. Late this afternoon the court began reassessing what are essential services as well as essential personnel. But legal analyst steven clark points out people in custody have a constitutional right to a trial regardless of Public Health concerns. What youll see is perhaps jury trials taking place in nontraditional fashions or in nontraditional courtrooms. Reporter but one potential juror whose case was put off until april says coronavirus fears are already taking its toll. Theres problems right now finding people to sit on a jury because some are sick or afraid of becoming sick. Reporter now, its going to be interesting to see how the courts balance the legal and health issues. You could see juries watching on monitors from another room. Regardless, just from the cases that will now not be heard, steve clark says it could take until the end of the year to deal with the backlog. Live in san jose, robert handa, nbc bay area news. The streets eerily quiet behind handa there. What about the people in jail . Beginning today, visiting someone in jail in Sonoma County is no longer allowed. All personal visitations are suspended. In addition, any legal visits. So if you want to meet with your legal representation, your lawyer, thats going to have to be done online and by appointment. Several other bay area jails are preparing to take similar steps. Weve seen random acts of kindness in the bay area during these trying times, and this is the perfect example. The owner of this pizza delivery is serving people. Hes doing deliveries. I deliver to people over their 70s because theyre more susceptible to the virus. He said people are so happy to see their pizza delivered, they have break down and cried. As of tonight, it looks like ohios governor will not be able to postpone the state primary there in ohio. It will go ahead tomorrow as planned. Also worth noting, arizona, florida and illinois are still scheduled to hold their primaries tomorrow as well. Georgia and louisiana have been able to postpone their elections. Okay, first tom hanks and now british actress idris elba. He has testified positive for the coronavirus even though he has no symptoms. He said he got tested after someone he had been exposed to tested positive. His wife sabrina is sharing his isolation. Transparency is probably the best thing for this right now. If youre feeling ill or youre feeling like you should be tested and youve been exposed, do something about it, all right . Its really important. He added this is a time for solidarity, quote, stay positive and dont freak out. Janelle, what was the guidance . Even if youre feeling a little sick, right, if you think you might have a fever or a cough, the Health Director saying just stay home voluntarily, go to a separate room in your house if youre able to be alone in a room. Your family can still be in the house, you just need to be in a separate room, and when you go back and forth to the bathroom, when you do, dont have contact with your family. And call your doctor and get advice from there. Okay, a lot of people have been stuck at home. They want to get outside and get some fresh air. Lets get a check of the forecast with rob miatta. Rob . A few brief thundershowers still dropping hail around parts of the bay area. There it is close to San Francisco where we do have those partly cloudy skies. Off to the west of san jose and to south, weve seen hailproducing showers near the an did he s andes mountains. Moving off to palo alto, northview seeing those showers. Santa rosa, you just had a recent Lightning Strike there. And notice the coverage. These are isolated showers of the cold air aloft. The heat of the day stabilizes the atmosphere. You see clouds build during the course of the day. Were likely to see more of that tomorrow after the rain that we were brought this weekend slowly moves to the south. There will be areas in the south bay that see the snow around hamilton, scattered showers at times, and a continuation of these temperatures. Morning temperatures in the 30s to low 40s and highs during the day tomorrow staying in the low 50s. Still more showers during the day. But the second half of the week should trend a little dryer. Friday looks to be the driest and warmest day of the week. Then as we head into the weekend, a similar pattern to what we see right now could bring more snow to the sierra and more rain to the bay area. This march continues through the weekend. Up next at 6 00, google is helping during this health crisis, but is it as President Trump advertised . We investigate, next. Welcome back to our special coverage of the shelter in place. Janelle wang is in the newsroom, im raj mathai here in the studio. One of the big issues here, a lot of back and forth regarding google. Are they helping the white house or are they not . Yeah, raj, the Mountain View company made the website to help people track the coronavirus, but what rolled out today was a far cry from the president s promise last week. Google is helping to develop a website. Its going to be very quickly done, unlike websites of the past, to determine if a test is warranted and facilitate testing at a nearby location. Sdp so it is done, the website is up, but its not nearly what the president described. Reporter what the president promised doesnt yet exist here in the bay area, or anywhere else, for that matter. Googles Sister Company barely designed the pilot website which features a questionnaire that people can use to diagnose their symptoms and when necessary it would direct people to testing sites, but only in san mateo and santa clara counties. The goal is to expand to other locations as soon as possible. But at this point the website has stopped offering any test appointments. Its been online for one day in just two counties, but already it appears to be inundated. The Public Health director says he doesnt know when it will reach his area. I dont know specifics at this point, but they are working with us and a couple other counties to try to develop a pilot. I would emphasize that this is a pilot intervention, as we understand at this time, and we want to make sure that given the National Limitation of test kit availability, which has really hobbled our ability to respond, that those tests are reserved for those who really need it the most. Reporter they hope to one day reach the goal the president has described, which is a onecompany website. But for now its far from national, and its struggling even locally.
