Daria thanks a lot and its 7 oclock. The big story is the coronavirus spike a record breaking cases in the u. S. Triggering rollbacks now in nearly all the states including here in california yesterday starting mention the most infections recorded in a single day california. Yeah leading the way 9700 cases reported texas not far behind they showed 8,000 and in total according to Johns Hopkins universitys latest daily numbers more than 50,000 cases across the country yesterday. The total number of positive cases then now grossed 2. 6 million. Since the beginning of this pandemic more than a 128,000 people have lost their lives and experts are worried if things dont turn around at some point soon. We could eventually see a 100,000 new cases each and every day. So heres a look at the numbers and where they stand for california 238,000 total cases in growing with more than 6100 deaths. Here at the bay area, 25,000 cases confirmed so far with 584 people died as we said california has seen the worst of this resurgence of coronavirus so the governor. Is going back on some of the reopening plans in california and identifying now 19 counties where restaurants, bars museums and zoos card rooms movie theaters. They all have to stay closed. For at least 3 more weeks in those counties engine in danger of more Community Spread that makes up for 72 of the states population, so this affects a lot of people and in the bay area. The jenner of concern our and contra costa and santa clara counties. This doesnt mean restaurants shut down it means that were trying to take activities many activities as we can. These mixed activities is concentrated activities and move them outdoors california unlike some others. We were successful in bending that curve we will be successful. Again inventing this new curve. Just stay indoors is not the place to be not only by the governor but fauci says that not one of the most Dangerous Things you can do is go inside a bar, a restaurant be drinking in there and so close to people. You can go out to the parks and beaches but the parking lot at the state beaches are going to be close only if you live nearby and that includes the one at crown memorial state beach that parking lot is closed in alameda kron 4 Sarah Stinson is live at pacifica state beach. Theyll also have closed parking lots, although it looks like a lot of people are parked there right now sarah. Yeah daryn people are part 2 now in the last hours that they can can starting tomorrow the specifics of the civic a state beach parking lot will be closed along with many across california. Theres a lot of surfers out there. But pacifica city leaders are actually taking it a step further, theyre actually closing down. Beaches as well because they do not want to see their communities having to close just like the other ones as we see this resurgence take a look at this video from memorial day weekend at other bay area beaches, including Half Moon Bay. You can see it was pretty packed people were wearing face masks and didnt keep a ton of distance despite the high risk in may and its because of that behavior then and the resurgence that we have now in cases, Half Moon Bay and pacifica city leaders are taking a step further than the governor by closing all city beaches and beach parking lot to deter people from gathering in massive groups on the beach on this 4th of july weekend and in turn reduce the Community Spread of the coronavirus the closures begin at sunrise friday in going till 9 monday morning in Half Moon Bay. And pacifica the San Mateo County Sheriffs Office will be patrolling for that making sure people dont go to the beach with the trailheads also be enforcing fireworks and dui. Enforcement so well well see about that theyre going to be out here in it in waves are going to be here all over the place making sure people follow the rules though i talked to the beach goer here in pacifica and he said that he understands hes actually pretty chill about it all. Yeah, i think a Public Safety is number one they got to do what they need to do to keep the public safe. So you know theyll be more ways the more days. The love that call more waves more days and thats right city leaders say beaches are closed. Parking lots are closed please celebrate at home San Mateo County is currently not on the governors watch list and county leaders are hoping that they dont become on the cap on the governors watch list. So county leaders are now asking the community to please stay home please be safe and of course you know you try to celebrate 4th of july, but they just want to make sure that they dont have to close down with theyve already opened like the other counties across our state i live in pacifica Sarah Stinson kron 4 news, thanks. A lot sarah. As more coronavirus tests become available more people are lining up to get those tests and that jump in demand has forced one east bay test site to close early each day. Kron fours will tran live at csu east bay campus to explain. More about it will. James i want to show you in real time, nothing videotaped about this this is real time on the growing line. It doesnt technically start until 9 oclock this morning but look at this that white suv actually started showing up at 6. 20 this morning and when this newscast started at 7 oclock in the morning. It was probably that red sedan on the left side of your screen. In that time about 7 or 8 other cars started to pull in. This is indicative of whats going on its been increasing over the past couple of weeks because the cases are happening people are more fearful and theyre showing up because this place has been open for about 2 months steady as she goes they were not overwhelmed, they handled as many cars as they could each and every day but over the last 2 weeks that more and more cars are showing up that over. James 2 days ago actually that they turn people away 3 and a half hours before they were set to close because they knew anybody after a particular car, theres no way we would get to you that you just wasting your time sitting in this long line so they told people to turn away this parking lot a few come down now again this is real time so you can see the line continuing to there are people inside with their masks. I suggest that you come down as early as you can well see us in the next hour to just show you how much longer. The line will continue to grow its gotten to the point james and darya. Theyre even thinking about having appointment only because so many people are turning out unfortunately getting frustrated, getting turned around. You can see it here as well theyll have to pull through here when this all started james and darya the labs where the problem they couldnt handle the amount of tests now they can handle the amount of tests but the locations themselves theyre being overwhelmed with so many people that the workers are actually staying beyond their shift and that is important because they want but the workers in a certain time frame so to minimize their exposure as well so once again you can clearly see the lines are forming will try to get to give you a different angle, im sure it will snake right down the hillside, if you know anything about cal state east bay and how this campus works im sure it will snake right down the hillside. Get here if you can still not appointmentonly but that could be the case moving forward back to you yeah, no kidding will might be a good idea to do that that way people dont have to stay in those long lines, they know to come back at a specific. 15 minute window period. Thank you will again well continue to watch that line grows we come back and check in with you on the morning.

Thank you reena. Now to the latest on coronavirus and with the pandemic surging in the u. S. In california leading the way with those terrible numbers, the governor has taken action to try to slow the spread and. Flatten the curve all over again. Yeah and its widespread to his actions because the impact about 19 counties and in those counties. Businesses like restaurants and wineries bar zoos movie theaters. They all have to stay closed for at least 3 more weeks before it can be recessed again and those counties are on the states what he calls the Community Spread watch list by 72 of the states population live in these counties here in the bay area they include contra costa and santa clara counties now the governor also ordered parking lots of state beaches. The closed for the Holiday Weekend to discourage people from congregating there and further spreading the virus in the north bay the governors order means Indoor Dining has to shut down in Solano County up to yesterday was the only bay area county that allowed customers to eat. Inside now no longer the case covers dan kerman has reaction from Restaurant Owners in benicia. That the loft wine bar and restaurant in the nation, the chairs are still stacked up. On top of the tables inside the restaurant. Thats because a lot of county is among those the state is shut down for Indoor Dining due to concerns over covid19 scared. Really watching restaurants and other Small Businesses go out of business in record numbers of never seen so many closures, the reason for the closure of Indoor Dining in Solano County is due to an uptick in covid19 hospitalizations weve had a doubling in the number in our daily hospital census. So we had been averaging. In the range of 15 to 20 People Per Day hospitalized and over the last several days weve been running 38 to 41. But Solano Countys Health Officer says that increase in hospitalizations as well as cases is not to do things like Indoor Dining the reason that were seeing the surge is mostly because of people having family gatherings and social gatherings on the weekend and in addition, we also have a pretty sizable outbreak among migrant farm workers. And now the officer says he is unsure shutting down Indoor Dining will have much of an impact on the numbers unless those social activity stop. Back at the loft wine bar and Restaurant Business has been good since Indoor Dining reopen 6 weeks ago. Now though just have to survive with patio dining only. We have more tables outside than we do in sight. But its actually going to impact us negatively. The Health Officer says bringing down those numbers is all reliant on how people behave in Solano County that means washing hands social distancing and wearing masks.

Sec commissioner greg sankey told senators he worries about the nc double a going pro. We must not allow College Athletics to the wall into a pay for play system.
