Right now on the kpix 5 news at 7 00 and streaming on cbsn bay area, new statewide guidelines tonight for phase 2 of the reopening, but only two Northern California counties are currently meeting the criteria to move forward. This round includes offices if you cannot work from home. Shopping malls, strip malls and outlets for Curbside Pickup only, carwashes and pet grooming with modifications and botanical gardens. As for when restaurants can reopen their dining rooms, the governor is leaving that up to individual counties. Butte and el dorado counties are the only ones that need the states meet the states readiness criteria. It would include constant cleaning of constant high used areas and high touch services. The space is just going to be the biggest challenge. Our idea was to have eight tables in here and eight on the patio somehow, realistically we are realizing were probably going to have to get rid of a couple more tables than we had anticipated. We take a look at what the new rules mean for Shopping Malls and whether Curbside Pickup will be enough to bring customers back. Reporter there has to be some relief on the part of many Shopping Mall owners here in Northern California and the retailers who call the inside of those places home, that customers can start coming back, but the real question is, can the american mall survive this . For malls across california, a slight bit of hope from governor gavin newsom. Malls and knows that otherwise are not just traditional enclosed malls but strip malls and outlet malls can be open for pickup. Reporter brickandmortar retail was struggling before the pandemic, pamela, the owner of unity marketing and a contributor to forbes on malls things some, not all malls will make it out of the crisis, major malls in Northern California are losing anchor tenants including nordstrom. With j. Crew filing for bankruptcy and jcpenney on the brink, more troubles could be ahead. None of this means anything if customers dont feel safe and none of this matters if employees dont feel safe. Reporter of course the bay area has a more stringent shelter in place order superseding california but many in the bay area are looking forward to may 18 for a partial reopening and some Curbside Pickup. Its unknown at this point if malls will be included in that cohort. Alameda county has ordered tesla to shut down its fremont facility but ceo elon musk is not backing down. Tesla workers are back on the job today but the big question tonight is if tesla is disobeying county health orders, will they face penalties . One county supervisors tells us its complicated. The last thing i would want is a visual of elon musk in handcuffs, having said that, i think any penalties or anything that could come forward would certainly come from the district attorney. Reporter a tesla employee who asked to remain anonymous told kpix 5, workers feel like they are in limbo while the company and the county to get out. California Senate Leaders have unveiled a sweeping plan to provide relief for struggling renters and landlords. This proposal would allow landlords to receive tax credits for rent payments missed by their tenants, in exchange for promising to not evict them. Tenants would be able to repay the state over 10 years for missed rent under a voluntary program. Dont waste your money, thats what medical experts still say about the covid19 Antibody Test currently on the market. Thats not stopping many people who want to get tested anyway. Obviously there are no hard numbers on how many people are getting these Antibody Test but i can tell you when i went into get mine for this report, the place was packed, so how much can you trust your results . We talked to one of the bay area researchers putting the tests to the test. When this man discovered he had been exposed to covid19 on a business trip in early march, he immediately put his fan import business on hold. Then he got curiou positive swab mean he had covid 19 antibodies, so when Quest Diagnostics launch their new service a few weeks ago he was among the first to sign up. Sure enough, the test came back positive, too. Im hoping eventually theyre going to change the approach so that people have immunities can go back to work. Reporter just three weeks ago there was only one lab in the entire bay area offering Antibody Tests, now the market has exploded. They are advertised all over the internet, some even have sales going on with prices and i decided to type try it out and paid 100 to get a covid Antibody Test request. The test is a blood draw, supposedly more accurate than a finger , Quest Diagnostics uses the test authorized for emergency use by the federal drug administration. Its among 11 the fda has authorized so far. There are more than 200 others that are not. There are over 200 different Antibody Tests out there, at this point, more than we have for any other Infectious Disease. Reporter an assistant professor of bioengineering at uc berkeley, one of more than 50 top scientists working on the covid19 testing project. One of the things we are able to do in our study is test these tests against each other headtohead. Reporter using blood samples taken well before the outbreak that are expected to be negative and samples taken from patients believed to be positive from swap tests, the researchers put 10 Antibody Tests to the test to see what they could detect. Tests on the negative samples had mixed results leading to a lot of false positives, only one test culture biotech got it right 100 percent of the time. While a test called the lou identified only 84 percent of negative blood samples as negative. The other 16 percent it falsely identified as positive. So that would really not be acceptable performance. Reporter with the positive blood samples the researchers detected antibodies 90 percent or more of the time three weeks or more after symptom onset, but that doesnt take into account if you were exposed right before you got the test. So thats also important to understand if you have a negative Antibody Test, it doesnt necessarily mean you havent been exposed to the virus, it couldve happened within the last three weeks. Reporter his word of warning for people who have tested positive what it does not tell you is that you have protective immunity against the virus. There is likely some correlation between the two, that we cannot draw that conclusion. I will learn more about it. Reporter this man says he has not changed his behavior, he still practices social distancing and wears a mask, but hes more hopeful about getting back to his important business as ans to lou, a Company Based in china for their response to the poor test results and so far we have not heard back. Meanwhile im still waiting for my results, it takes 3 to 4 days and of course i will keep you posted. So how was the Testing Process and is it only outof pocket . It was a busy day, the waiting room was packed, so be prepared to wear a mask or wait outside. Once i did sit down however someone took a vial of blood and i was out the door in just a few minutes. Again, it was 120 for the test but we are hearing some Insurance Companies are now covering the cost. Thank you, maria. , how steph curry and an old teammate are leading the charge to get the nba restarted. Will Baseball Players accept a deal to begin the majorleague season . The former big leader who says its a nobrainer. Players need to understand that if they turn this deal down and shut the sport down, they are not making a cent.

Send us a photo to 2020grads cbs. Com or share on social media using the hashtag kpix, include their name, where they are graduating from and take a look at oracle park in San Francisco where major league Baseball Players are deciding whether they want to accept a deal that would bring and ill be back to empty stadiums around the fourth of july. The snag is a temporary 50 50 revenue split between owners and players. The Players Union is calling that an unacceptable salary cap. Players need to understand that if they turn this deal down and shut the sport down, they are not making a cent, so i would rather make pennies on the dollar and give hope to people and play baseball then not make anything in lose an entire year of my career. Tonight some of basketball biggest stars have formed a united front to help get the nba season going again. Among them, steph curry, kevin durant, lebron james as a couple of guys you might recognize and according to yahoo spots they had a Conference Call today and all agreed that passed ball should go on if its safe. Its still unclear when the nba could make a decision on the season. Back onto the weather now, a live look outside, the sun is barely breaking through, still some clouds out there and it looks like theres a chance for a little more showers, the rain is not quite done. More showers in the forecast but not this evening, things are looking fine out there right now, we will see the next chance of rain headed our way on wednesday. Were going to start off the morning with locally dense fog that will develop tonight after the sun goes down, especially in the north bay. Basically with the heaviest rain has fallen over the last 48 hours, thats where youre expecting some reduced visibility. Out there right now, theres nothing showing up on the radar, not even those little radar freckles to indicates some freckles so go ahead with outdoor plans you have this evening but weve got some showers making their way on shore as we had to the day on wednesday. Its not a huge rain event but just enough to keep the umbrella handy and maybe the rain jacket. The best chance of showers overall will be from the golden gate northward but a few passing sprinkles will be possible in the east bay and south bay. Heading into tomorrow evening, things quiet down but one more round of showers will be possible as we go through the day on thursday, mainly for the north bay and then we get a couple dry days before the next round heads our way. Temperatures are in the low to mid 60s a bit on the cool side for the middle of may, anywhere from 60 in santa rosa, not a lot of variation. We will wake up tomorrow morning and the upper 40s and 50s, temperatures will warm up, but lunchtime we will be in the 60s across the board but thats when the best chance of showers will be moving in from the west and any additional cloud cover will keep us from warming up a lot. Medium category for the pollen count for the next several days, the shower chances at least keeping a lid on that, so some showers for the north bay thursday, a couple dry days friday and saturday with more showers saturday night continuing sunday and monday. We will have another update at 11 00. Heres a look at your top national headlines. Los angeles countys stayat home order will likely last through july. The Public Health director did not formally extend the order but said that reopening will be slow due to the rising deaths and cases in the county. We know with all certainty that we would be extending Health Officer orders for the next three months. Theres no way unless there was a dramatic change in this virus. A stark warning tonight from the nations top Infectious Disease expert about reopening the country too soon. Doctor Anthony Fauci told senators that states are risking more outbreaks rushing to loosen restrictions. He urged states not to reopen until they have the capabilities to handle an inevitable rise and cases. There is a real risk that you will trigger an outbreak that you may not be able to control which paradoxically will set you back.

Sung Center Parking lots but with some restrictions, they have kept the number of cars at 200, people will be required to wear a mask and not every student is on board with the idea. Even if every person took one minute, thats over five hours. I dont see how thats any better than doing a virtual online graduation. The purpose behind this order was to find some way to celebrate our graduates who have experienced a really disruptive and to their school experience. Redwood Christian High School in san lorenzo is having their students walked down a red carpet in an empty gym, they are met by their immediate family members and then an administrator reads a page about their accomplishments and aspirations.

So abbott is getting new tests into their hands, delivering the critical results they need. And until this fight is over, we. Will. Never. Quit. Because they never quit. Finally tonight, the zoo in England Center armadillo named gomez into the chimpanzee viewing area and the family of chimps loved it. They were super curious trying to get a view of gomez as he scurried about as armadillos will do when they are around chimps. One reason they were so excited, they havent seen anything in the viewing area for months because the zoo has been closed. Those guys move pretty fast. No kidding. And gomez is probably thinking why did you guys pick me . Why do i have to do this . We dont have chimps down there in texas. They do have armadillos though.
