Thank you taylor restaurants in marin county may be relying more on Outdoor Dining the countys Health Officers recommending restaurants, there reduce indoor capacity from. 50 to 25 . Doctor matt willis says as covid19 cases spike in the state and the bay area marin county is in danger of moving from the current orange here to the more restrictive red tier is focusing on restaurants because they tend to be where people gather indoors and dont wear masks because theyre eating. But most people crossed households. Were not covering their faces are often getting together for an hour an hour and half of the time and thats one of the reasons why risk so much higher for Indoor Dining and thats why were taking this step. At this point the capacity reduction is only recommendation willis says it could become mandatory next week. If covid19 cases continue to rise in the east bay Alameda County is also expecting to bring back restrictions as soon as next week today, the countys Public Health officials decided to temporarily pause further reopenings citing the recent spike in cases that will likely place the county back in the red tier. The county saw 132 new cases yesterday that is a jump of 23 cases from the day before. And heres where the bay area stands tonight, San Francisco county is in the yellow or minimal covid tear alameda san Mateo Santa Clara and moran and napa in the contra costa and solano counties remain in the red or substantial category and Sonoma County is still in the most restrictive purple category but those tier callers could soon change again Solano County is now at risk of joining Sonoma County in the states most restrictive purple tier.

I spoke to one county supervisor who says reopening rollback some Solano County will happen next week. Weve heard it before wearing mask, you know sanitizing their Clean Environment keeping social distancing.

You know last and you know families disrupted, Michelle Young owns daughter of luna floral design in downtown benicia and is preparing for the unknown if its going to be more strict than last time. Definitely during the Holiday Season if we have to shut down again its really going to impact our business for months young has been trying to keep up with state county and city guidelines we do require masks, we do require you to sanitize our staff has been a pare down a little bit so theres not so many of us working at the same time. Which means that sometimes your deliveries are a little bit late. But were doing the best that we can just last month Solano County moved it here to the red tier of the states covid19 framework. Which indicates a substantial level of infection in the community. Health Officials Say the recent halloween outbreaks are almost as high as it was in the peak of the virus during early summer months thats as high as 100 cases a day the county needs to report fewer than about 31 cases per day to stay out of the most restrictive purple tier i just that state would target where the problem is you know we all need to do a much better job communicating with the public and our bodies get more now. But before they get through this economically we weve got to be smart and work together.

Fours dan kerman reports on that. This is what San Francisco looked like in march deserted streets following a covid19 lockdown order. Has that same kind of shut down in the nations future. During an interview this week a member of president elect joe bidens coronavirus taskforce floated the idea. Doctor Michael Osterholm said we could lock down for 4 to 6 weeks and if we did that we could drive the numbers down like theyve done in asia like they did in new zealand and australia. I cant see a National Lockdown that everybody goes back to where. We were in march doctor Robert Wachter who chairs you see San Franciscos department of medicine says some form of lockdown may be needed in certain places in the midwest and the dakotas where covid19 is out of control if there you know encouraging people to wear masks if youre going to a big crowd. I mean come on its its its november, Everybody Needs to be wearing a mask there should not be big they should be shutting down bars they should be shutting down Indoor Dining at restaurants, but wachter says while cases may be going in the wrong direction in the bay area. They are not nearly bad enough to require that same sort of lockdown here in San Francisco. We have had a 153 deaths from covid since the since march since this thing started if you took numbers and you extrapolated them to the whole country. There would have been about 60,000 deaths rather than 240,000. So 180,000 lives would be saved. The main difference in San Francisco from the rest the country is nearly universal masking. If there was to be a lockdown Business Leaders say the federal government must provide wages for out of work employees and provide greater support for small Business Owners than just a ppp loan. And you to cover things like rent. Payroll but also insurance overhead and inventory we have Small Businesses that have been stocking up all year. The cell during the winter Holiday Season number one it take that away from them or even take away part of their revenue away from them because of the loss of foot traffic we would need to be able to accommodate that when you go colony that from the federal government.
