Here you can see peaks of sunshine right now on our downtown san jose camera. Normally wed be in that really socked in by the fog and cloud cover a lot of gray, but not this morning we see some clouds but its definitely not as thick as what weve been seeing over the last couple of really beautiful shot of the city so far we are going to have a some windy conditions as we get closer to the afternoon today so keep that in mind very breezy, we could see gusts of up to 20 Miles Per Hour in some spots, especially the coast and parts of our north bay zone. And you can see its going to last pretty into the afternoon and all evening long for the overnight hours into tomorrow morning. So just keep that in mind. In fact we are going to see even some possible drizzle as we get to closer to when this evening you could the coast and even some of our coastal hills as well could be seeing some of thats a drizzle even in the east bay hills as well so over the next couple of hours and next few days we can see the possibility of that and warm temperatures though on the way today and then a big change as we get into forecast coming up in just a bit back to the news. Lets start with the latest news on covid california has become the first state in the country to exceed half a million covid cases and we are worse off this morning than we were at the start of this whole thing when it blew up in march and just this morning top doctors are warning that the u. S. Is perhaps now in a new phase of the pandemic John Lawrence explains. There are more than 4. 6 million known Coronavirus Infections in the u. S. According to Johns Hopkins university. That accounts for more than a quarter of the cases worldwide we are constant and remind people that they may be tired of the virus. But the virus is certainly not tide of us not only is the virus not tired of the u. S. We are in a new phase doctor deborah birx with the white houses Coronavirus Task force is covid19 is more widespread now compared to earlier this year. No matter where you live in america. You need to wear a mask and socially distance do the personal hygiene pieces the centers for Disease Control and preventions new forecast. Predicts nearly 20,000 more covid related deaths by august 22nd. That breaks down to close to a 1000 deaths per day between now and then. We have to control this virus and not in a in a serious way. Are seen rising lot of states and now were talking about reopening schools and colleges in the midst of that which i think is just incompetent or problems significantly. And some Health Experts say stay at home restrictions may be necessary. Or serious measures need to be taken in order to flatten the curve to bring back a phrase used widely months ago, but dont you so much now, im John Lawrence reporting. Heres a closer look at our local coronavirus numbers statewide california has now more than 512,000 coronavirus cases with more than 9300 confirmed deaths across the bay area more than 52,000 cases in fact quickly approaching 53,000 with 818 confirmed deaths from covid19. On the peninsula, several businesses in San Mateo County are forced to close. They had to do that over the weekend after the county was placed on the States Coronavirus watch list. Businesses like gyms and places of worship some hair salons shopping malls basically any indoor operation had to shut down unless of course they can operate outside or stay open with curbside pickup, those businesses can still operate at least minimally however the county says that shops that offer tattoos and piercings they cant operate under any circumstances right now they have to close people that we talked to say they understand its all about safety. Im doing my part to support local people outside to go. Everybody comes out and with to go and Outdoor Dining i think well be ok. I mean the virus doesnt care about our business the virus doesnt care about anything except finding a new victim. So youd its various singleminded as much as it has any mind. Business is a lot of the owners we talked to are asking how long these closures going last they have to try to figure out a plan to move forward with their hoping maybe the county will release more guidance in the coming days, well see. San mateo county is considering fining people if they dont wear a mask in public. And apparently the sheriff says hes going for said kron fours will tran is live in San Mateo County with more on that will. Duryea before i talk about that i just want to quickly piggyback on what James Fletcher said about the rollback in San Mateo County im in san mateo you can see this gym right behind me fit this 19 normally it opens up at 5 oclock in the morning, but it has not open and will not open because theres a sign at the door this as the government told them to shut down so if youre watching me this morning. This is off el camino reale dont come down here because the gym, the lights are on but the treadmills are not running so lets talk however, about the mask ordinance a lot of Law Enforcement officers across the country said that they would not enforce the mask policy so this is a little bit different when it comes to San Mateo County the sheriff is on board now tomorrow supervisor for the county dave canada. He will introduce an emergency ordinance saying that people need to wear their mask when they cannot practice social distance, he will introduce a tomorrow and he has the approval of a lot of people more specifically the sheriffs o whats going to happen is it will not be criminally would just be an infraction a lot of people worried about that if you are caught without wearing your mask in certain instances where you cannot practice social distance. The first infraction is 100 the second infraction as 200 and if you get caught a 3rd time within the span of a year of the first time that you were ticketed it will be 500 dont worry youre not going to jail. But this is something a little bit revolutionary a little bit more aggressive than other places across the country because San Mateo County was the last county in the bay area that allowed gyms and salons to go on but now there are also on the states watch lists so now the supervisor says its time for Emergency Action back to you. All right, thanks a lot. Well well see how that enforcement goes in the north bay. Another condemned inmates at san quentin prison has died of covid orlando.
