live at sky 7 over the grand princess cruse ship as thousands of passengers are waiting to exit. it arrived at the port of oakland carrying at least 21 people infected with coronavirus. you can see sky 7 over head. it all started with the grand princess passing under the golden gate bridge. >> around 20 minutes later going under the bay bridge. depending on the tide at the time, the grand princess may have had about 12 feet of clearance. it made it through with ease. next stop was the port of oakland. >> at about 12:15, it appeared to have finally docked.

passengers out on their balconies watching, some even waving at sky 7. >> at 2:30 we saw what appears to be a male passenger being helped onto a gurney. the man was loaded into an ambulance and taken away. >> the ship settled into berth 22 at the port of oakland just after noon. hours later thousands of passengers are still waiting to get to solid ground. >> reporter: we arrived here just before noon. the ship was pulling in within a few minutes after noon. it was here, it was berthed. this is where it remains. they are in the process, a lengthy process of disembarking all of the passengers. we understand at this point 23

have been taken off of the ship. 21 who were ill and two companions of those patients. in the meantime, the others are waiting to get off. not nearly the homecoming they expected but the 3500 passengers and crew aboard the grand princess must have felt relief as they inch closer to the end of their harrowing journey, pulling into berth 22 at an oakland port normally reserved for cargo ships. dozens of passengers lined the balconies and railings as the ship came in. emergency workers, buses and ambulances prepared to greet them. >> it's fairly close to us. >> reporter: this man owns a trucking company just down the road from where the grand princess is moored. >> there were about 20 ambulances going code 3 as the ships were coming in. it seems like they're taking the infected people off first.

>> reporter: about two hours after the ship docked, the first of the ill patients began to be offloaded into those waiting ambulances. so far 21 people on board have tested positive for the coronavirus, the majority of them crew members. abc 7 news obtained this video of a ship ramp being delivered to the port side of the ship in preparation for the well passengers to disembark. about 1,000 are from california. many will be transported to travis air force base for a 14-day quarantine. members of the public lined the roadway trying to get a look at a ship and a voyage that ended in a way few could imagine. >> i can't imagine what they're going through. i've been on one cruise. they're tiny little rooms and really uncomfortable. >> reporter: we understand that all 21 of those who tested positive for coronavirus have

disembarked and are no longer here at the port. they're on their way to local hospitals for treatment as we speak. it's our understanding that the next round of passengers to disembark will be those from canada. they will be taken to the oakland airport where they will board charters and quarantine elsewhere. after the canadians, it will be time for those 1,000 californians to disembark. they will go to travis air force base or to miramar down in southern california. >> we're still waiting for more than 2,000 passengers to disembark. earlier today some of them waved at sky 7 from their decks.decksk >> they seem to be coming up with creative ways to occupy their time. >> they really are. they're all in good spirits, many look forward to seeing

their family members after finishing this two weeks of quarantine. the moment that over 2,000 passengers pictured and finally lived today. >> there are people on the golden gate bridge waving and clapping for us. it is awesome. it is so spectacular. >> you feel welcome right now? >> we do feel welcome now, yes. we get to come back to the bay area where we belong. >> heartwarming. it's always good to come home. >> as the grand princess cruse ship kept getting closer to the port of oakland, emotions ran high. >> whoo! >> neighbors are excited to see people and land. >> you made it! >> we're excited that, you know, we're not stuck in the middle of the ocean anymore. >> a joy that can be seen from the sky.

87-year-old elena and harry have been confined to their room since thursday. their granddaughter michelle has been their roommate in support. you have your granddaughter with you to lean on. >> she entertains us a lot. >> they entertain me. >> we did zumba today again. even grandpa got up and did it. >> docking in the port of oakland is a victory but not the final step. many of these people still need their luggage tags to disembark. >> we packed last night. we are ready to go. >> what are the precautions the captain is asking you to take? >> wear masks and stay six feet away from the person next to you. >> before the disembarking process began, medical teams got on board to perform rapid assessment of passengers aboard the ship to make sure they don't have any unmet medical needs unrelated to the virus.

>> the passengers aboard the grand princess won't be out any money. princess krcruises is refunding the cost for every passenger. guests will also receive a credit for a future cruise equal to the fare paid for this voyage. by the way, princess will pay crew members all the tips they were set to receive even though passengers won't have to pay for them. >> a santa clara county resident died from covid-19. she had been receiving care at el camino hospital for several weeks. she was the first person in the country to contract coronavirus through community exposure. marin county reported its first case of the covid-19. the patient was on the grand

princess cruse ship that return from mexico on february 21st. public health officials have isolated people who have been in close contact with the patient. >> that brings the total number of confirmed cases in the bay area to 82. the state total stands at 120. the cdc says there are 423 cases in 35 states. the world health organization is reporting 109,000 confirmed cases world wide. >> fears about the virus and its impact on the economy especially the oil industry sent financial markets into a freefall today. the dow dropped more than 2,000 points, its worst single day drop since the 2018 financial crisis. at one point trading was halted for 15 minutes to try and slow the purge. the dow and nasdaq also tanked. one stock that didn't suffer, oakland based clorox, managing

to gain ground finishing up nearly 1% today. more now on covid-19's impact. >> reporter: investors are rattled by the spread of the coronavirus, then oil prices started plunging as a result of a price war between saudi arabia and russia. uncertainty creates a lack of confidence in where the economy is heading. >> it indicates people are concerned about a recession. i think there's reason to be. people are staying home from work, not traveling, not spending. >> reporter: many analysts believe silicon valley is especially vulnerable. major tech companies saw their stock prices drop between 6-8% today. while no one likes to forecast a recession, silicon valley saw over 105,000 jobs lost during the 2008 recession. among the concerns is how dependent tech companies are on

china. >> whether it's through supply chains or international collaboration through research and development, whether it's on bringing in immigrants from around the world to work here, we are more exposed than other parts of the country and >> reporter: the oil price war will result in lower gas pump prices which is good for consumers. the benefit of alternative energy is tied to high oil prices. >> it's bad for not just the oil industries, but all the industries that compete with oil, solar, coal, wind and all of those related industries. >> reporter: if the economic turmoil continues it will put pressure on the government from the federal reserve to congress to other things like interest rate cuts, bailouts and possibly tax cuts to stimulate the

economy. ames research center is open today but employees are being encouraged to work from home until the further notice after confirmation that an employee tested positive for coronavirus. officials believe the exposure at the center has been limited but decided to have employees work from home out of abundance of caution. for updates go to our website. we have a special page nbc7news.com/coronavirus. californians from the grand princess will be taken to travis air force base to be quarantines. >> up next, we are live in fairfield with a look at where those passengers will have to stay for two weeks. despite the cloud cover, it is a warm afternoon, but even warmer air moves in tomorrow and

this is a live look over the grand princess cruse ship at the port of oakland. it docked around 12:15 this afternoon. we did see a person get taken off the ship and get loaded into an ambulance around 90 minutes ago. we were told it could take two to three days to get everyone off of the ship. >> some passengers who live in california will be taken to travis air force base to be quarantined. >> lauren martinez is there live with the latest. >> reporter: we are standing by waiting for those buses of californians to arrive. of those 962 californians, those that do not show any signs of the virus will be taken to a

military base in southern california to miramar or here to travis air force base. once they get here they will be tested and quarantined for 14 days. this is the same base where passengers from the diamond princess cruse ship were quarantined after the outbreak in japan. this is also a look inside one of the rooms here at travis from a person that was quarantined last month. >> some of my friends have asked me what my quarantine looks like. >> reporter: hopefully their accommodations here will be more spacious than their cruse ship cabins. yesterday governor newsom said it could take three days or longer to get passengers off the grand princess. anyone who develops symptoms once they are here at a base will be taken off site and transferred to a medical facility. those who do not show any signs

of the virus will be released and able to go home after their 14 days of quarantine. >> dr. experts wea've been talking to about the coronavirus. >> it's a topic everyone is talking about rightfully. >> now that the ship has docked in oakland, let's talk about what some people are concerned about which is the mistakes we saw over in japan with the last cruse ship contamination and real lly a botched way of handlg all of these passengers. >> what's changed is that that event happened and people now have a heightened sense of the way this virus can spread, not only with crew who on the other ship were wearing the same gloves going from passenger to passenger, but the way you disembark. they are using the measures now to make sure they don't

replicate that at all. they're following all the isolation protocols. i think we're in a good place. >> we've gotten so many comments from viewers saying should i still go. how do you mitigate the risk? >> i think the cruise industry is having a little bit of a pr issue. i think the risk comes down to your own individual situation. you have to understand where you're going. is there an outbreak there? is it worth taking this specific trip? you have to look at where you're going, is their health care system analogous to ours, do you have medical supplies if you were to get stuck somewhere or quarantined. >> when you just answered that question, obviously if you're taking a cruise and there are small children on board or even small children day to day.

why is it they're not the ones getting sick? because we have all these schools closing down, a lot of classes are being cancelled. >> this might be the only silver lining about coronavirus. as far as we've seen, children are not getting as bad of an illness from this coronavirus. scientists theorize this is one of many things could be happening. children have really robust immune systems. it's also possible children have seen a similar coronavirus and their immune systems might be ready to defend this. children can still catch this coronavirus at the same rate, meaning they can still spread it to other people like the elderly or people with chronic illnesses who might be at more risk. >> the people who have lower immune systems or compromised ones? >> absolutely. >> this has been interesting also because as the coronavirus has spread across the globe, this has really become almost a beacon of reason to have the

discussion about health care inequity and the people who can seek treatment and can be quarantined. this opens up a whole host of questions as to how do you treat this when perhaps you don't have the sick days available. >> yes. i don't like the fact that it took an epidemic to amplify healthcare inequity in this country. we have to look about what it may be for someone who doesn't have health insurance to be tested or hospitalized. a lot of parents can't take time at home because they are a single working parent and they have to work to provide for their children. new york state, the school might be the only place a child is going to get a consistent meal every day. there's a lot of social quality issues and health care and society in general, we have to really look at when it comes to

handling coronavirus. >> at least the conversation is happening now, which is better than what it was before in a way. i'm sure we'll be seeing much more of you in the coming weeks. >> absolutely. maybe for some brighter topics in the future. >> i would hope so. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> drew tuma standing by with a look at our weather. the sun is out and we have a warmup on our way? >> that's right. we are tracking some warmer temperatures and the possibility of a shower for some coming our way tomorrow afternoon. live doppler 7 showing you a pretty quiet scan out there despite having cloud cover over head. a live look from san jose showing you partly cloudy skies and peeks of sunshine here and there. we'll be in and out of the cloud cover over the next couple of hours. temperatures slowly dipping through the 60s by 7:00 p.m.

your sunset is later now thanks to daylight saving time beginning over the weekend. we'll gradually fall into the upper 50s by 11:00 p.m. we're mainly in the 60s so it does feel mild for march. 65 in san jose, 67 in napa. fairfield the lone 70 degree warm spot at this hour. everybody is warmer right now compared to 24 hours ago. by 11 degrees in napa, 14 in fairfield, 4 degrees in the city and 7 in hayward. overnight tonight, location is key in terms of what your sky will look like. we'll have clear skies in the north bay, but in the south bay we'll have partly cloudy skies. temperatures a little bit warmer tonight than last night with mid 40s to lower 50s for a lot of cities around the bayshore line. this is a storm out there in the pacific swirling right here on satellite. we're even starting to see some

rain move into southern california. this storm unfortunately is going to be a soaker just for southern california. we're going to be on the northern fringe which will mean an isolated shower here or there with the best chance in the south bay tomorrow. tomorrow morning you wake up to a fair amount of sunshine out there. we'll find increasing clouds throughout the afternoon. it's a really minimal chance of finding an isolate shower around gilroy, san jose. but that's about it. much of the bay area will remain dry the next 24 hours. the same cannot be said for southern california. look at those numbers add up over the next two days. over an inch of rain in l.a., similar story in san diego. if you're traveling south over the next two days, you do need the rain gear with you. here's the seven-day forecast. tomorrow a p.m. chance of a shower in the south bay. otherwise we keep that mild air

wednesday, thursday, friday. sunshine is dominating our sky. much cooler over the weekend and there is a chance sunday of an isolated shower. otherwise it's chilly by sunday, only in the 50s. coming up, companies accused of taking advantage of the panic of taking advantage of the panic surroundcalifornia phones offers free specialized phones... like cordless phones, - (phone ringing) - big button, and volume-enhanced phones. get details on this state program. call or visit ...doesn't mean you got to spend a lot! because denny's brought back the super slam™. with eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage and pancakes. all for just $6.99. the $6.99 super slam™ is back! see you at denny's!

be concerned about anyone offering to sell you any product that keeps the virus at bay. >> they're organized, they know what they're doing, they work hard and they will find a way to get to you whether it's through social media or whether they're pushing something to you. >> wilson warns against replying to coronavirus e-mails and giving out your personal and financial information. the take-away from all of this if anyone says they have a cure or a way to keep it away, if one becomes available you'll be sure to hear about it from any legitimate news source before an e-mail, i guarantee you. more on the coronavirus coming up as passengers begin to disembark from the grand princess. >> plus, we talk to a psychologist

i of metastatic breast cancer.e but i did pick clarity by knowing i have a treatment that goes right at it. discover piqray, a treatment that specifically targets pik3ca mutations in hr+, her2- mbc. piqray is taken with fulvestrant after progression on hormone therapy and helps people live longer without disease progression. do not take piqray if you've had severe allergic reactions to it or any of its ingredients. piqray can cause serious side effects, including severe allergic and skin reactions, high blood sugar levels, and diarrhea, that are common and can be severe, and pneumonitis.

tell your doctor right away if you have symptoms of severe allergic reactions or high blood sugar while taking piqray. your doctor will monitor your blood sugar before and during treatment, and more often if you have type 2 diabetes. before starting, tell your doctor if you have a history of diabetes, skin reactions, are or plan to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. common side effects include rash, nausea, tiredness, weakness, decreased appetite, mouth sores, vomiting, weight loss, hair loss, and changes in some blood tests. ask your doctor about piqray. this is a live picture from sky 7 over the grand princess cruse ship docked at the port of oakland. there are at least 21 people on board who have tested positive for the coronavirus. we're told those people have been taken off the ship. >> a short time ago we saw

someone getting loaded into an ambulance. those with medical conditions or in need of care are going to be the first ones to disembark. there are about 3500 people on board the grand princess. it could take up to three days to get everyone off the ship. >> california passengers will be quarantined at two military bases and those who need care will be taken to local hospitals. >> santa clara county reported its first coronavirus death. >> reporter: i also want to talk about some of the safeguards being put into place at hospitals all across the bay area. you mentioned those passengers that are going to be disembarking and heading to local hospitals, passengers and crew. isolation is going to be the key. there's going to be a lot of safeguards in place. also those folks are going to be under heavy surveillance. we're talking about the ones heading off to our local

hospitals after they leave the cruse ship. i also do want to mention that we are currently outside the office of emergency management here in santa clara county where folks here are going to be talking about the county's first covid-19 related death. as we await those details, i also want to mention that a number of hospitals in the area say they are ready to handle any surge in patients and that includes anyone that comes from the grand princess cruse ship. with the novel coronavirus on the minds of many, medical professionals in our community are stressing the importance of facts over fear. >> people do want to know what's going on. they're hearing about it all the time. but i think panic and fear should not be something that we should be really engaging in right now. >> reporter: hospitals across the bay area including stanford health are prepared for an uptick in cases. >> we have all of the right

filtration systems and protective equipment for our health care workers and our staff to protect themselves if a patient would be in the hospital here. >> reporter: screening protocols and procedures are also in place within the santa clara county health system which includes valley health center in san jose, good samaritan hospital has set up overflow tents outside the e.r. major hospitals have negative pressure isolation room which is prevent germs from escaping. >> the transmission doesn't occur in the open air. it doesn't occur by food or water. so there's really no risk of these unfortunate passengers to transmit within the environment that they're going to be in. >> reporter: as a reminder, health officials say if you're experiencing any symptoms related to covid-19 to call your

medical provider first before going to the emergency room. >> let's take a live look from sky 7 over the port of oakland. you are seeing passengers getting off the grand princess now. the 21 who tested positive have already been taken off. now you are seeing more filing off the sick. >> these are those non-sick passengers getting off. crew members making an announcement a short time ago saying people in the interior rooms get to disembark first. it's the people in the rooms with balconies that will be going last. >> they said it could take up to three days. 3500 people were on the grand princess. the canadian people are going to be put on chartered flights out of oakland. and the 1,000 california people who are on board will be taken to miramar or travis air force base to be quarantined.

>> u.s. citizens who do not live in california are going to be taken on charter bussed from the grand princess to oakland international airport. from there they'll board charter flights in texas or georgia to be quarantined for two weeks. >> reporter: those passengers will never actually enter oakland sbarinternational airpo. they will get off those charter buses and get right onto the chartered flights. earlier this afternoon i spoke with an oklahoma woman on the cruse ship. she and her husband sell bracel their 50th anniversary. she says they're packed and waiting on luggage tags to find out where they'll be flying once they're bussed here. >> we're very blessed because we do feel well. we're very concerned for those crew members and passengers who

are ill and we're grateful they're being able to disembark first. >> reporter: once those passengers arrive here at the airport, they will be flown to either texas or georgia to those military bases where they will be quarantined. of course, the california residents are being bussed to two military bases in california where they will also be quarantined. >> we have psychologist dr. jonathan horowitz of the san francisco stress and anxiety center to talk to us more. thank you for joining us. how pervasive do you think is the fear in the community? i hear some people saying we're fine, the flu is worse. i hear other people going i don't know, i should be a little concerned. >> that might be right. you should be a little concerned about it. it's hard to quantify how much fear is actually out there but

it's certainly something we're seeing in our clinic. people are anxious about the medical impact but there's anxiety about the financial impact, the restriction on travel, things like that. some anxiety is good and necessary because it motivates you to make necessary changes but it's bad when it turns to panic or obsession or avoidance. >> how do you not go over the edge? once you get on that anxiety train, it's hard to get off. >> so i think if you're making changes in your behavior that are consistent with public health recommendations, things that doctors and experts are telling us we should be doing, i think that makes a lot of sense. for example, if you have a new routine where you're going to wash your hands as soon as you get to work, that's something you can do to sort of set yourself at ease and it's a pretty reasonable thing. if you notice you're a person who tends to ka tas

you want to come back to what's happening right now and is anything bad actually happening, is it going to happen? probably not, right? >> right. you get on that worse case scenario and you get way ahead of yourself. >> it's true. it's something that our minds do. i think it's important to keep perspective. there's so much information right now, so much attention on this. but we've had public health crises before. we do want to take necessary precautions but it's important to remember that we've gotten through things before and we're going to get through this. >> if you're someone who feels like maybe you can't keep your feelings under control, what are some steps to take? >> if you're having severe anxiety we recommend that you call a medical professional and make sure there's nothing medical. aside from that, reaching out to

mental health experts. a lot of the work we do know is done over skype. even if you can't leave your house or you're working from home or whatever, you can still get in to see a professional. i recommend reaching out. >> do you work with adults or kids? >> we work with mainly adults and some kids. >> i wonder for the people old enough to see what's happening and understand that there's some sort of virus threat, how much do you tell them? how do you them from getting so much anxiety? >> i think the most important thing is to be aware of your own anxiety because anxiety is contagious and your kriids are going to pick up on this. you want to use positive reenforcement with kids, you don't want to scare them. they're going to be aware of how you're reacting to this situation. just be mindful of that.

>> thank you for coming in today. >> thanks. we have the latest coronavirus news in one place on our website. go to abc7news.com/coronavirus. you'll find details on how the bay area is affected including schools that are closed and events cancelled. we also have all that information scrolling at the bottom of your screen. we want to take another live look from sky 7 as non-infected passengers start to disembark. this is four hours after the grand princess docked at the port o

it's more than just fast. it keeps all your devices running smoothly. with built-in security that protects your kids... ...no matter what they're up to. it protects your info... ...and gives you 24/7 peace of mind... ...that if it's connected, it's protected. even that that pet-camera thingy. [ whines ] can your internet do that? xfinity xfi can because it's... ...simple, easy, awesome. [ barking ]

it's time now for the four at 4:00. work is underway to care for the passengers at the grand princess after docking in oakland around noon today. let's take a live look from sky 7. you can see some of the passengers finally being able to disembark. we're told these are the passengers from the interior cabins, people who didn't have the nice balcony views. the people who already tested positive for the coronavirus, the passengers and crew members, those people were already taken off. we're hearing that the people who left first are canadians. they'll be taking a charter back to canada. other people who get to get off first are passengers in the interior cabins. chef jose andres's non-profit

kitchen set up tents to serve lunch for those disembarking passengers. the organization will remain on site to cook fresh meals for everyone remaining on board over the course of the week. >> you want to make it easy for these people to get off the boat. you just want to give them a hot meal. they probably just want to feel welcome. >> kudos to this organization. wherever there is crisis like this, coming in like angels. >> exactly. >> with an epidemic if we come together everything is better. >> true. >> i sound like a psa. >> meantime, some countries are taking some pretty dramatic steps to try and control the virus. israel announced that anyone arriving from overseas will be quarantined for two weeks. also it italy expanding travel

restrictions to the entire country now, locking down essentially 60 million people. in south korea as well the government is now using a gps based app to monitor anyone quarantined at home. an alarm will sound when someone being monitored leaves their designated location. more than 7300 coronavirus infections have been confirmed in south korea with more than 50 deaths. when is it overstepping? i mean, it's like being on house arrest. >> absolutely. i'm going to defer. you've got your coat on. >> i'm the nerdy one. i think when it comes to these public health interventions, people need to remember that the united states is huge. we have so many different state health departments in this country. it's apples and oranges to compare it to other countries. are we going to have the same protocol that we're going to be in wyoming, texas and new york

city? it's not realistic to think. >> that's a good point. >> next a british company that conducts studies on viruses is denying reports that it's looking to hire people to be infected with coronavirus. the times of london and other news agencies have been reporting that they were looking for 24 volunteers for a medical trial that aims to find a vaccine for covid-19. according to the reports each volunteer would be paid $4500 and be quarantined for two weeks. >> wow. >> but a notice on the company's website says it's not recruiting any volunteers for studies on coronavirus at the moment. >> whether or not this is true, we've all got a price, right? >> what is the two weeks like also? >> is it just a small room, is it a nice house. >> let's talk numbers. i think we've got to talk seven digits at least. >> seven digits? >> i have medical school debt. i'll do it for like 500 bucks.

we shouldn't joke about that. >> moving on, government agencies in the state of new york won't be facing a hand sanitizer shortage. >> open the curtain, please. >> governor cuomo used a little showmanship to announce that new york is now producing its very own hand sanitizer. cuomo says the product is superior to others on the market because it contains 75% alcohol, 15% more than the minimum standard. the product will be handed out to schools, transit systems, prisons, other government run agencies. does that matter if it's a higher percentage? >> we just know it needs to be 60%. there's a lot of do it yourself kits out there. people are like i use this bottle of vodka or everclear.

i'm dead serious. what they don't realize is those hand sanitizers have something in it to buffer the harsh effects of that much alcohol. i commend new york for taking steps to make sure people have it. >> good point. it's hard to find at the store. >> thlet's take another live lo from above as passengers finally begin to if you're 55 and up, t-mobile has a plan designed just for you. and, for a limited time only, we're making it an even better deal. now you can get two lines for only $55.

that includes unlimited talk, text and data. with no annual service contracts. it also includes talk, text and data when traveling in mexico and canada. so if you're 55 and up, you can now get two lines for only $55. because at t-mobile, we have a plan designed just for you.
