For reopening that means we could see some businesses open tomorrow is your city ready. It depends were going go out live kron fours will tran to explain good morning. Well. Good morning james absolutely it depends and ultimately be up to the citys to. Decide if they want to roll on with governor newsoms face to plan which he will unveil in a couple of hours from now and once again we will carry his News Conference live for you he talked about it actually. Last friday that we are not weeks but days from starting to loosen up a little bit of the shelter in place and that is great news for many stories like that one right behind me Clothing Stores that have been shut down for 7 weeks or desperately looking for business again. Good news, bad news, even though you might be reopened it will not be the same as it was before the pandemic before the shelter in place because even though the governor plans to loosen up a little bit of a stranglehold a shelterinplace it still means that curbside well be pretty much the law of the land and many people are asking how can you possibly shop for clothes with curbside well thats just the way its going to be so you might have to know exactly what you want they will come out and give you your item not just Clothing Stores but were talking bookstores music stores Sporting Good locations as well Sporting Goods stores and just to name a few and of course he will unveil it all in just a few hours from now as far as the restaurants well forget about dining in thats not going to be a possibility at least not part of phase 2, but ultimately again it will be up to each city to decide and it looks like San Francisco mayor london breed has already decided to go along with face too to a point. More. That people have interactions with other people. The likelihood that other folks will continue to get infected. And so as difficult as i know this has been we need to keep that in mind when making decisions about reopening. So what the mayor is saying is that San Francisco has more coronavirus cases then she would like to see and if she goes along with face too. Theres a good chance according to her that the coronavirus cases could explode and the governor realizes that which is why hes leaving it up to each city each municipality each county to decide for themselves San Francisco little bit stricter than say other locations. Malls will definitely not reopen and the governor says even though hes going to loosen up just a little bit in terms of shelter in place and allow the stores they will closely monitor the situation and if people dont practice social distancing practice curbside pickups, he says there is a chance that they could come in and close down individual stores. Back to you. All right, thank you will either reopening will be a said we all will go back to work at the exact same time. But when we do rush hour could be way worse than you remember it could be rush hours floral weve got kron fours. Sarah stinson standing by with to explain from Treasure Island good morning sara. Yeah good morning, im live here right in front of the bay bridge traffic right now looking really nice but this new study projects that San Francisco will see the worst traffic in the country after the shelter in place order is lifted we get behind the camera and show you what it looks like now of course is not bad at all, but that they think that once people all go back to work. This study says that most people are going to want to drive by themselves in the car theyre not going to want to head on Public Transportation or even get a shared uber or lyft because its going to take us a long time to feel comfortable even being around others, so this study thinks the morning commute alone will increase about 42 minutes after this shelter in place order is lifted quite significant, this is a study by Vanderbilt University and it shows one this order is lifted our commune to be very long it may take time for even want people to you want to be near each other, so they think the safest way people feel to head into work will be just being in a car by the university projected that San Francisco will be the hardest hit city in the country. Saying that you know each person will be on the road up to 80 minutes longer per day due to the traffic you may not remember but we have some pretty bad traffic here as you recall your numbers sitting in the car for a long period of time and i can tell you during the shelterinplace order it has been pretty nice not having to sit in that traffic daily. But what this study doesnt mention is the fact that a lot of Companies Wont be sending their employees right back to work a lot of them stay. Working at home and so its not going to be like once this order is lifted the roads are going to be packed of course its going to take time for employees to go back and its going to be a slow process but once everyone is back to work poison our station were not back to work yet fully once everybody goes back to work it will probably be pretty bad because were going were going to be pretty cautious social distancing and sanitation and stuff like that, but as we know barks been doing a lot to ease peoples concerns for now send it back to you guys in the studio. All right. Thank you very much sara and barry floor to are also among the list among the businesses that could potentially reopened just in time for mothers day. Floral a flower, both forest in walnut creek is actually one of those businesses for the past 2 months theyve been shut down because the stay at home order but they did start taking some online orders and phone orders on monday and they say the volume of orders has been so overwhelming they couldnt keep up fact they had to stop taking orders for the rest of the week. With probably stopped a little sooner than we normally would because there are supply issues and some staffing issues people that are not available to us that and help with the alert holiday like this. Ability little bit. Supplies are as readily is available. Even weve been extremely well theyve been busy because of mothers day, but they she says they are worried about the longterm outlook, a lot of their business for things like weddings and graduations ceremonies and birthdays of all been canceled and they dont know when thats coming back as more businesses start to open up its likely going to be several weeks before the complete stay at home orders are listed. And in Santa Clara County. They say theyre not ready for that yet at all widespread testing in contract tracing. Are not where they need to be Santa Clara County doctor jeff smith says the goal is to test 4,000 people every day right now. They are testing about a 1000 today.

County Officials Say that this is going to dependent on a numbr of factors as weve talked about the testing that racing the number of cases infections and hospitalizations and then also the personal protective equipment being available to health care workers.
