coronavirus without having traveled to hard hit countries or interacting with confirmed patients. now, earlier this week, a solano county woman was the first person to contract the virus with no known origin. she remains at uc davis medical center in sacramento. health officials there announced this afternoon that two americans who had tested positive for the virus in japan before being transferred to travis air force base are solano county residents. we do have to be clear, these are not new cases. both are under self-quarantine at home. there are now over 60 cases of coronavirus in the united states as it keeps spreading. state public health officials announced a few hours ago they have received 1,200 cdc test kits to detect coronavirus. eight state public health labs will conduct the testing including labs in alameda county and contra costa county. >> thanks very much. >> for more information about the new case in santa clara

county, we want to go live to amanda del castillo, she's in san jose. amanda. >> reporter: yeah, today's announcement marks the third confirmed case here in santa clara county. as we heard earlier, the second case in the bay area is in solano county. at a 4:00 press conference today, county health officials said the patient, an older adult woman had no known exposure to the virus through travel nor through close contact with a known infected person. county health says the woman was initially hospitalized for a respiratory illness. her doctor request they test her for the virus, and the results came back last night. since then the department has been working to find others she may have exposed, but they aren't giving specific details about where the woman lives, only confirming she is a resident of the county and contracted this through a community case. officials say this case is an important one because it signals now is the time to change course. >> we do need everyone to start thinking about what actions they can take now so we can be

prepared for the possibility of further spread of the virus in our community. >> reporter: the department says it will now conduct what it calls community surveillance to figure out the extent, i should say, of this community transmission. now, with regard to testing, officials today confirmed eight counties across california are now equipped with kits to test for the coronavirus. >> all right, amanda, what are some specific examples of preparation? what can people do? >> reporter: well, i know that dr. cody has talked often about washing your hands, not touching your face. staying away when you aren't feeling well, but now she suggests that schools should plan for absenteeism, possibly telelearning and businesses whenever possible should replace in-person meetings with over the phone or video conferences. i'm in san jose, amanda del castillo abc 7 news. >> good information on that. amanda, thank you. abc 7 news spoke to the two

patients who tested positive for coronavirus on the princess cruise ship in japan. robert and elizabeth young are currently under observation by the solano public health department at their rio vista home. >> emotionally it's draining. it's nothing that i would want anybody else to go through, but you know, it kind of is what it is. a i've had worse hay fever events than i've had with this, you know, and both my wife and i have tested positive for it, and we feel absolutely perfectly fine. get out of the drama, live your life, relax. >> let's go to solano county live now. that's where abc 7 news anchor eric thomas has the latest. >> reporter: and the health department considers those two people to be asymptomatic, which means they're not showing much in the way of symptoms. now, they are two more cases for the county to handle. we didn't say new because the cdc already knew they had tested

positive for the coronavirus in japan, but now the county is responsible for monitoring them. the county is also responsible for trying to keep local residents calm. carolyn showed up for her tennis lesson at the normal time this morning. the coronavirus isn't keeping her p indoors, but she is battling a bit of anxiety. >> we all know that the unknown is frightening, and i'm experiencing that. >> reporter: she lives near the hospital where a woman was treated before being transferred to another hospital where she tested positive for the coronavirus. sherry works out at a gym on the medical center grounds. she doesn't want her face shown. >> i might not want to go into the hospital right now until more information is determined. >> reporter: today two more locals were added to the list of confirmed coronavirus cases. the two patients were aboard the diamond princess cruise ship under quarantine in japan until they were flown to travis air

force base. they had already tested positive for coronavirus in japan. the cdc confirmed the positive result for one and are waiting test results on the other. since they both live in solano county, the county health department is now responsible >> by doing that we were able to then send them to their home. they're doing home isolation, much more comfortable environment for them. >> reporter: neither patient is showing symptoms but are being tested when the virus clears out of their bloodstream and they can no longer spread the virus. back to that patient who spent four days at north bay vaca valley hospital before anyone knew she had coronavirus. 93 hospital workers who may have come in contact with the female patient are spending 14 days at home to see if they caught the virus. meantime, doctors still don't know where the woman picked up the virus, but chances are she won't be alone. >> the likelihood is there are many people throughout who are nonsymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, who are nonetheless spreading to other people. >> reporter: which means they expect to see more cases out

there in the near future. now, isolation means that the folks who are at their homes are not allowed to go outside, and they're not allowed to have people come in. they have to test negative or rather they have to show that the virus has left their bloodstream in two tests for two consecutive days. that's when they'll be released from the isolation and allowed to go back to what they normally do. live in fairfield, eric thomas, abc 7 news. a roller coaster ride on the dow today ended in the red for the fifth straight day this week. the dow lost 357 points closing around 25,400. the s&p 500 dropped 24 points or 0.8%. the nasdaq was essentially flat gaining less than a point. take a look at this graph of the dow jones changes over the course of this week. it's the worst selloff since the 2008 financial crisis. since monday the dow has lost more than 3,500 points.

chinatown. >> some businesses in chinatown have reported as much as a 70% drop in business since the coronavirus first began to surface in asia. while the coronavirus risk is still considered low, the potential for a global pandemic has some bay area schools preparing for possible closures. that includes school officials on the peninsula and san jose. they've been sending parents recommendations from county health officials and san mateo county district officials say they're updating their h1n1 virus pandemic plan, which is about ten years old. >> we want to go through the plan and ensure that we now have many more opportunities for remote learning for students and different kinds of transportation or remote work environments for staff. >> testing of suspected cases of coronavirus is expected to go faster now. the cdc says its goal is to have new test kits in the hands of local and state health agencies across the country by this time next week. with all we know and

considering what we don't know about coronavirus, what do we need to be doing here in the bay area? >> yeah, what do experts in infectious disease advise about our daily lives? abc 7 news reporter leslie brinkley talked one on one with the head of epidemiology to get some perspective. >> why do we need to be worried about coronavirus? >> so i think there are several things to say that. first of all, it is a new virus, and new viruses are unpredictable. >> reporter: one of the unknowns is if coronavirus is transmissible on surfaces like door knobs or computers. >> can this virus survive on surfaces like that? those studies are i'm sure currently being done, almost certainly it can. the question is how long can it remain infectious on the surface? is it a matter of hours? is it a matter of days? there's some viruses that remain infectious on a surface for a week or more. others it's probably more like a

day or two. >> we don't know right now. >> and for this virus i certainly don't know and i doubt if anyone has figured that out yet. >> so are there places here in the bay area we should avoid right now? should you postpone elective surgery in can you ride mass transit? >> i personally would not change any of those things. i'm not changing my habits. you know, i will get on b.a.r.t. i will pick up my wife at the airport tonight. within the united states at the moment, i personally am not planning to change my behaviors at all. >> reporter: for international travel, he says he will weigh the risk of getting quarantined somewhere but he's not worried necessarily about getting sick himself. the world health organization explained the importance of those quarantines. >> we need to keep this virus slowed down because health systems around the world, and i mean north and south, are just not ready. >> reporter: what we do know is that you're going to be hearing a lot about coronavirus not just in the coming days or weeks but for months to come.

now. >> reporter: for years city leaders have brought their concerns to b.a.r.t. leadership only to be given what they say is the run around. besides the trash drug needles can easily be found throughout the propert. >> who's going to take their children on a train when you have to worry about getting picked by a drug needle? >> reporter: city council men gina pappin is the transportation commissioner representing san mateo county. >> b.a.r.t.'s not doing enough. there's not a commitment to the cleanliness and safety of each and every station. >> reporter: in fact, we found human feces on site during our recent visit. millbrae city manager tom williams said he told b.a.r.t. about it two weeks ago and has followed up multiple times since the initial call. despite the push, there's been no response from the agency. >> people who commute from redwood city, burlingame, other areas of san mateo county that use this station -- because it is a multimodal station -- for their daily commute. it's embarrassing. >> reporter: built in 2003, the millbrae bart station is the

largest transit center in the western united states bringing together b.a.r.t., caltrain, sam trans, corporate shuttles and the world via sfo. it's also a future high speed rail stop. city leaders don't understand why the station isn't getting the tlc they say it deserves, especially since it's the first place visitors see when they take public transit out of the airport. >> it's a detriment to economic development this the city of millbrae. it's a detriment to the quality of life, not only with millbrae citizens but throughout the region. >> on this day, the elevator was out of service leaving some passengers in a panic. >> i'm just so opposite, i just can't go downstairs because the elevator is not working. >> reporter: we shared some of these concerns with b.a.r.t., more specifically we wanted to know why it was taking so long for the staff to come and clean up the poop. a spokesperson sent over this statement saying, quote, both cleaning staff and police staff

do checks in the garage at millbrae and alert appropriate personnel to clean up messes. when a report is made, a rapid response team is pinged in the field and deployed to clean it up. again, that's after we said the biohazard had been there for two weeks. community members say responses like these illustrate how their concerns aren't taken seriously. >> we write letters. we talk to staff. things don't happen. i've had it. >> reporter: and left to suffer are the thousands of passeners who rely on public transit. >> when you come off the train, there's nobody even working in the booth, so they might need to put a little bit more money into taking care of this place. >> reporter: some say they've simply come to expect the nasty conditions. >> it's kind of getting you prepared for what you're going into, honestly in a sense, so you have this idea. you may see what you se yore se inevitably, especilly when you're going into the city. >> reporter: so what's next? what can be done to fix what some say is a broken system? >> as you can see here, pools of

urine here in the rusted out section. >> reporter: city officials say the state legislature needs to step up and provide greater oversight. >> this is a public resource, and we need to make those agencies accountable now. >> more accountability before the dirtiness turns into greater danger. in millbrae, chris nguyen abc 7 news. >> b.a.r.t. says it met with city leaders in january to hear their concerns face-to-face. now, we always want to hear about your experiences on b.a.r.t. use the #dearbart to tell your story online. this does not look like february. it's the video of a brush fire that burned up san bruno mountain this morning. sky 7 was overhead. the fire, as you see, wasn't far from homes. the smoke could be seen for miles from san bruno mountain state and county park in northern san mateo county. abc 7 news reporter kaitlte lar was on the ground. >> reporter: the embers may not look like much but the fire on

top of the hill sure did. sky 7 was overhead a wall of 25-foot flames that shoot threw at least six acres. >> that stuff that burns up there really goes up. i mean, it goes up like a cannon. >> reporter: fire officials never ordered evacuates but daly city resident was worried his house was going to catch fire next. >> all those eucalyptus up there, i thought if they catch fire that's going to come over the hill. >> reporter: almost 100 firefighters and inmate crews along with a dozen engines and a helicopter responded to the fire that broke out just after10:00 this morning in the state and county park. >> this really behind me is a testament to where we're at with our moistures and the lack of rain we've seen over the last two months. >> reporter: cal fire deputy chief john than cox emphasized how unusual and concerning it was to see a fire this early in the year. >> we're starting to get roadside spots on a daily basis. small fires. this is one of the more significant fires we've seen in the bay area to date this year.

and unless we get rain over the next two, three, six weeks, we're going to see conditions like this continuing. >> reporter: it's possible the fire started right here in this brush. the park was open at the time, though it's unclear if anyone was actually here, which is why fire investigators are on scene trying to figure out how this all started. fire crews will also be here overnight making sure no hot spots reignite. i'm kate larsen abc 7 news. it's going to cool off a little bit, but is there any rain coming? >> yeah, we need to so desperately. >> we really do. it's going to come close. it's not likely to produce any significant rainfall for us, not this weekend. here's a look at live doppler 7. dry conditions as you no doubt know. a beautiful view from the abc 7 exploratorium camera looking back at the skyline. it's currently 53 degrees here in san francisco. oakland airport had a high temperature of 74 degrees today, which ties the all-time record

get a card worth 50% off, and if you are a senior or have whatt b.a.r.t. calls qualifying disabilities, the discount jumps to 62.5%, and soon if you are a low income earner, there will be a discount for you, too. >> they'll be able to save 20% on their rides through this program that's being administered by the metropolitan transportation commission. >> hannah duckworth says the program will officially launch over the next few weeks, and there's more. >> do you know you can get a discount for going to the airport? >> no, i didn't know that. >> they have an app called b.a.r.t. to airport app. >> really? no, i had no idea. >> reporter: to qualify for this deal, you must download the b.a.r.t. to airport app, then buy your tickets through it. >> what it does is allow group travelers of two or more people who are traveling to or from the oakland airport, to or from the san francisco international airport to get a discount on that fare. >> reporter: if you travel one way, either direction, there's a 20% discount.

round trip riders get a 25% discount. >> that's awesome. i had no idea. see, you just saved me money. thank you. >> why offer that discount? well, b.a.r.t. is competing with ride shares where three or four passengers can split the fare. i want to hear from you. my 7 on your side hot line is open monday through friday from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. that number is 415-954-8151. you can also reach me on my facebook page and through abc7news.com. >> good stuff. >> thanks, michael. let's go back and talk about the weekend weather forecast. >> spencer, how are you? >> i'm doing well. looking for some rain, but we're not finding it. here's a look at live doppler 7. dry conditions right now as you know. going into the overnight hours, we'll see an increase in clouds both high clouds and low clouds and some patches of fog. overnight lows will be mainly in the mid to upper 40s, 44 in the coast at half moon bay, 49 in oakland right around the bay shoreline, san mateo and fremont, 48. up in the north bay it will be a

little chillier with lows dropping into the upper 30s to low 40s. tomorrow we're going to have some sharp changes in the weather pattern coming our way. no rain still, but it's going to be quite windy tomorrow. we'll see an increase in clouds. it will be much, much cooler than today. highs will reach only to the mid-50s on the coach. many bay shore locations will reach only to the upper 50s. 60 at oakland and fremont. north bay, 54 degrees at santa rosa. other inland locations will reach only to the low 60s. we've had record setting warmth for most of this week. tomorrow's highs will be 10 to 15 degrees lower than most locations highs today. here we go, this is a look at the accuweather seven-day forecast. cooler and windier over the weekend. chilly mornings coming our way on sunday and monday, but check out the change in the pattern starting on monday. all of next week, sunny days, dry conditions with mild weather once again. high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s inland and the middle of the week low 70s right around

the bay shoreline and low 60s on the coast. i should mention that tomorrow, sunday rather, there is a slight, slight chance of some isolated sprinkles coming our way. if it rains at all, it won't be widespread and it won't amount to much. there is this chance of a couple of wet spots, mainly in the south bay on sunday. >> oh, gosh. >> that's about it. >> tough, all right, thanks, spencer. >> all right, let's talk a little warrior basketball tonight. >> larry, come on. >> stop me if you've heard this one before. we will have the latest on steph curry's return. will it be sunday? and you know hall of famer barry sanders can run. is he running f we choose to go to the and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. president kennedy knew settling for half-measures

wasn't good enough. so when candidates say we can't guarantee health care for all, make college affordable for all, combat climate change, or create a world at peace, remember that america is best when we strive to do big things, even when it's hard. i'm bernie sanders and i approve this message. do i use a toothpaste that whitens my teeth? or one that's good for my teeth? now i don't have to choose. from crest 3d white. the whitening therapy collection. now with charcoal or coconut oil. it gently whitens. plus, it has a fortifying formula to protect your enamel. crest. healthy, beautiful smiles for life. the in-laws have moved in with us. and our adult children are here. so we save by using tide. which means we use less. three generations of clothes cleaned in one wash. anybody seen my pants? #1 stain and odor fighter, #1 trusted. it's got to be tide.

tomtrump on the economy.ald his people over profits plan makes a living wage a right. creates thousands of good paying green jobs in california. and provides a 10% tax cut for everyone making under $250,000. tom's plan also makes health care a right, by adding a public option to obamacare. protects union negotiated plans. and ensures californians can make their own health care choices. i'm tom steyer and i approve this message.

now abc 7 sports with larry beil. >> good evening, earlier this week the unofficial word was that steph curry was going to come back on sunday night for the warriors against the wizards. then the warriors said they were going to meet to discuss steph's status today. now it looks like tomorrow. we all have to work on our patience. steph wants to come back even though he's only had two wihe wagesth arust t gnoughcte.ncthe bs are e, n on sunday, the warriors have a home stand next thursday arti wh e ptnd e xers next saturday and clippers and nets. stay tuned. he'll be around. in 2018, james harden won the nba's mvp award, and in the

nba pettiness prevails, when harden made counter punch during a sit down with rachel annichols and a rivalry has been born. >> you don't want the dribbler? >> i want somebody that's going to pass the ball. that's what i want. >> giannis makes a joke on the air ai want to take someone who can pass, i'm taking kemba walker. >> i don't see what the joke is, i wish i could just run right into 7 feet and just dunk. that takes no skill at all. i got to actually learn how to play basketball and how to have skill. >> ooh. giannis has no skill? we'll see. giants and a's less than a month away from opening day and today the a's presumed opening day starter mike fires gave up five runs in a 10-1 loss to the

reds. most of the giants regulars, at least guys you would recognize, are playing as we speak against the rockies. new manager gabe capler, impressive. the retired the rockies on seven pitches in the first inning. pablo sandoval, talk about a quick comeback from tommy john's surgery with a shallow center field, and that scores joey barge. dear barge. right now it's 1-0 giants in the 3rd. that's an inside joke. we don't put too much stock in the nfl combine, sometimes you get a guy who opens eyes. in this case louisville offensive line makai beckton, how big a boy are you? 6'7", 365, ran the 40 in 5.1 seconds. that's like a ferrari engine in a hummer. raiders gm mike may ok looking impressed. we're drafting him. country music star garth

brooks posted a photo in a barry sanders jersey. his followers freaked out thinking he was endorsing bernie sanders, but he's just performing in detroit for the hall of famer barry sanders played his career and the lions put out that barry sanders 2020 tweet. barry rushed for over a thousand yards in each of his ten seasons for the lions. won the heisman in 1988. to the best of our knowledge, he's not running for president. highlight of the day, premier league darts in dublin, michael smiths completes what equates to a perfect game in darts. hits three triple 20s. now he needs a triple 20, a triple 19, and a double 12 to reach the score of 501. i hope you're still with me. there's the double 20, there's the -- anyway, 501 on the nose. ding ding ding ding ding, crowd goes berserk. it's the first nine darter in the premier league since 2017. it's like bowling a perfect game, like a perfect 300 or

something like that. you can't do it any better than he just did it. >> that's incredible. >> that's the deal right there. >> fun to watch anybody do something well. >> well, yes. i was hoping that that was what i just did, but yeah. >> absolutely. >> thanks, larry. join us tonight for abc 7 news at 11:00. why america's nurses say our hospitals are not prepared to handle the coronavirus. and with all the talk about the virus, what should you tell your kids about it? we'll have those stories and more coming up at 11:00. and coming up on abc 7 tonight at 8:00, it's "shark tank" followed by a two-hour 2020 at 9:00. continue to stick around because jimmy kimmel live comes on at 11:35. finally tonight, a few thoughts about what really matters: this is an anxious moment for all of us. the coronavirus is spreading and the stock market is falling. both should give us pause and reason to be concerned, but both health and financial experts say that neither is a reason to

panic. the covid-19 virus seems to spread very easily, and the number of cases is growing on every continent but antarctica. the mortality rate for those infected is roughly 2%, maybe less. by comparison, sars, which broke out in 2002 was roughly 10%. that's the good news. the bad news, this virus appears to spread much more easily than sars and perhaps before symptoms even develop in a person making it an especially tough public health challenge. which means the coronavirus is expected to continue to spread and, as it does, the stock market is likely to remain quite volatile. what really matters is that all of us make no rash decisions about investments and that we each do all we can reasonably to prevent infection. we have a lot of information about the coronavirus on our website. just go there and you'll see all kinds of information about the spread of the virus, what you can do to protect yourself, all of our reporting is on there. in the meantime, i always love to hear from you.
