Fast food workers, amazon drivers and Health Care Workers walked off their jobs in the bay area today, part of a nationwide protest called strike for black lives. They joined Racial Justice advocates for a series of rallies demanding an end to systemic racism in the workplace. Melissa colorado is in oakland where activists targeted a mcdonalds forced to shut down during a covid19 outbreak. We need help too. Patricia garcia earned 15 an hour flipping burgers at a mcdonalds in san jose. Is that enough . No. Because the rent is outrageous in san jose. No. Underpaid and overworked. Thats the sentiment fueling hundreds of essential workers of color who took to the streets of oakland to take part in todays strike for black lives. This amazon Delivery Driver says the fight against Police Brutality is connected to the fight against racial inequalities. Based on the fact that were too broke, scared or ignorant to fight for ourselves.

In oakland, melissa colorado, nbc bay area news. The number of covid cases at child care facilities throughout california is growing. The state had confirmed nearly 250 new cases since our Investigative Unit revealed it last week. Katherine nguyen joins us now with what child care facilities can do to turn the tide. Candace thank you for joining us whochlt is testing them, the staff or the kids . The number that we have includes Staff Members, kids and parents as well. Parents who are dropping off or picking up the kids from that facility. While theres a lot of concern about kids getting sick, the data shows that its Staff Members and parents who are getting sick the most often, although kids do make up some of those numbers. Now, a lot of parents have no choice, they have to send these kids to Child Care Centers because they have to go to their jobs and they have to work. What do they say now after your report . Are they reconsidering . What are they thinking . I think theyre stuck in that impossible situation. We spoke to a couple and the wife was laid off. She has to look for work. They still need child care. We spoke to a dad out of oakland, a single dad who has sole legal custody over his 2yearold daughter. Theyre saying what you said. Theyre between a rock and a hard place. Do you decide on livelihood on paying rent or putting your family at risk. Theyre in the same situation. What are child care facilities doing to keep children safe . They have to follow protocols. What else are they doing . Can you list some of the things they have to do . The first thing is if youre a facility thats open right now, you can only have groups of kids. Theyre separating the kids into groups of 10 or 12 called pods or cohorts. The idea being, if theres an exposure or a positive case, you can close down that one unit. The bad thing is, if youre a family or smaller owned Child Care Center, thats your whole operation. The other thing were learning about, the few cases we tracked down of kids testing positive, kids in a daycare center, it was all about identifying the exposure and the cases quickly, communicating that to staff and parents right away and having the resources, all the contacts information there and shutting down as quickly as possible. In those couple cases that we identified, an outbreak was prevented. Whats the protocol. Lets say a staff member or student, a child tests positive. What happens after that . Once a child tests positive, that parent has to keep that child home. Now, if that child is at the daycare already, then isolate that child, get the parents to remove that child from the setting and then the Child Care Center notifies everyone. They notify in one case in novato that we talked about, they notified, of course, every Single Family there and every Single Family member and they actually got all the kids and all the families to get tested and theyve shut down for two weeks quarantine. Sanitized everything and in one case, they actually made these individuals, kids and the families members and the Staff Members and the Staff Members family members to get tested and they couldnt come back unless they had a negative test. All of this had to happen quickly. Time is of the essence here. In one case, they found out that theyre backtracking and asking the parents about when they started feeling symptoms. The kids had been there for a day and didnt realize they were positive at that time. That was a really scary situation. But sometimes you can only work as quickly as you can once thanks so much, candice. Probably the best bet to get everybody tested. Thanks for the update. Tonight making it in the bay report examines whether the coronavirus can shake up bay area living. In an anonymous survey, three out two out of three tech workers would leave san francicisco if they could work remotely forever. The goal would keep their salaries but no longer pay the prices here.

Start of the new week, lets get a check of the forecast with jeff ranieri. It seems pretty nice across the bay area, except long the coast. Much cooler. Yes.

But with the foggy breeze staying in place, temperatures will stay down below average, about 5 to 8 degrees below where we should be. This will leave us with the warmest temperature in antioch at 82. Livermore, 80. 60s from oakland. San francisco and half moon bay. San jose at 78. The one exception is clear lake. Thats because theres no ocean influence. It will be 94 there.

A big issue for my family and so many other families, around the country, kids spreading the virus. Not just daycares like we talked about a few minutes ago. But specifically kids between the ages of 10 and 19. Now, we here at my house have an 11yearold boy and we thought we had a free pass meaning he couldnt really spread the virus. However, that belief has changed in a big way, which means a lot of Elementary School kids can spread the virus. This could certainly change the way schools decide when to return to campus. This all stems from a study just released from south korea. We chatted with nbc medical contributor dr. John torres. A robust south korean study looking at children and their families, they found out children under the age of 10 dont spread it as much as adults. Part of the reason is because of their size. Theyre not breathing at our level, we dont get it in our face. Children 10 to 19, your son is 11 years old, hes in that group where they spread it at the same rate or possibly greater rates than adults. The reason it might be greater rates is because of their behaviors. The fact tha
