they have not been told when they'll be exiting the ship or where they would be spending their quarantine time. now some nevada residents circulated a letter they passed on to us this afternoon that indicates their governor at least has made arrangements for some of them to quarantine at home rather than at military bases. here you see the ship balconies. we've seen people out on those balconies. a yellow flag with the note it's under quarantine. crew members are staying onboard and will go back out to see after everyone has offloaded, the passengers have offloaded. in the last half hour we've seen more buses line up along the shoreline pulling alongside the ship, so we are assuming that more people are still being taken off the ship at this hour and perhaps the disembarkation process will continue into the evening as well. reporting live, i'm leslie

for postmenopausal women with hr+, her2- mbc. diarrhea is common, may be severe, or cause dehydration or infection. at the first sign of diarrhea, call your doctor, start an anti-diarrheal, and drink fluids. before taking verzenio, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection. verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infection that can lead to death. life-threatening inflammation of the lungs can occur. talk to your doctor if you have new or worsening trouble breathing, cough, or chest pain. serious liver problems can happen. symptoms include tiredness, appetite loss, stomach pain, and bleeding or bruising. blood clots that can lead to death have occurred. tell your doctor if you have pain or swelling in your arms or legs, shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid breathing or heart rate, or if you are pregnant or nursing. my relentless reason: it's them. my choice with my doctor: it's verzenio. ask your doctor if everyday verzenio is right for your first treatment.

that either grandchildren are sick with the coronavirus, money for care is supposedly desperately needed. if you get such a call or email, call your grandchild yourself or call their parents and confirm the grandchild is all right. this is one of the oldest scams around. i've been reporting about it for years and years. it is updated to seize on the latest headlines. don't fall for it. >> thank you, michael. >> on to the weather forecas. finally some rain to track. >> okay, i'm going to take a look at live doppler 7 to get us started here. you can see little patches of green down at the bottom of your screen indicating light rain and showers way down in the southernmost part of the south bay. some showers are across the santa cruz mountains. most of the activity is south of watsonville. it may work its way up into parts of the south bay.

you can see around midnight or so might see some rain around gilroy, reaching up toward davenport and sort of fizzles out. 5:00 a.m. we have clouds but no rain. a little trickle of shower activity slices across the santa cruz mountains again, down into the area south of san jose and quickly disappears. so after about 10:00 a.m. tomorrow we'll have a dry day and pretty mild one, as a matter of fact. rainfall estimates from this little system, maybe 0.04 of an inch at ben lomond. tomorrow upper 60s around the bay, up to 70, 71, 72 in the warmest inland areas. it's even warmer and sunnier on thursday. partly cloudy and pretty mild on friday as well, but over the weekend a cold air mass comes in and brings rain with it. we can expect cold showers or saturday and sunday, maybe even into monday.

high temperatures those three days will barely reach 55 to 56 degrees even on the bay or inland. on the coast it's even chillier. >> all right. sports in the headlines. >> larry beil has the latest. the warriors playing in completely empty get to the ross spring dress event, where the prices make all the dresses yeses. yeah! save 20 to 60 percent off department store prices on our best selection of spring dresses. the ross spring dress event, on now!

good evening, steph curry was at shoot-around today but has been ruled out of tonight's warriors game against the clippers. steph sat out on saturday night because of what the team described as the seasonal flu, not coronavirus. he is expected to play on thursday. the warriors game against the clippers tonight will go on as scheduled but it might be the final home game for a while with fans actually in the stands watching these games. san francisco wants to limit large gatherings. the nba has a conference call set for tomorrow so playing games leaguewide in empty arenas is a distinct possibility. >> i've played on a couple of teams where it felt like that was the case at times. but you just -- again, we're in uncharted water, so we will cross that bridge when we come to it. >> i don't think we're thinking about it too much as far as basketballwise it's more just our health, just trying to stay

clean, fist bump, do as much as we can to limit accidentally spreading bacteria and things like that. but, you know, i think we've been educated on what we need to do just washing our hands. kind of keeping our body fluids to ourselves. it's hard when you sweat. but we're just trying our best to limit that. >> because of the coronavirus santa clara county is banning any event of a thousand people or more so this puts the san jose sharks, the earthquakes, stanford, in this really unique position. play in an empty arena or finding a different city to play in. the sharks don't have a home game until march 19th, nine games away. stanford is supposed to host the opening rounding of the ncaa tournament the next day. the earthquakes don't have a home game until the 21st. so we'll see how this all sorts out. teams are trying to get used to playing in an empty arena. >> obviously the empty building

is one of them. there definitely will be be be b would be very strange to play in an empty building. >> i hope that's not going to be the case. we'll have to see what happens. but it definitely will be a weird feeling if that happens, but we'll see. >> we love playing in front of our fans. they're great to us. we also know that health comes first, so we're just here to do our job. you know, we love playing hockey and we love having the crowd. >> see how it shakes out. different leagues and cities are handling this differently. the ivy league just cancelled their entire postseason basketball tournament, but the big east, they're playing at madison square garden. they said we are open for business. las vegas is hosting the pac-12 tournament. that's this weekend. full speed ahead. las vegas, tourism capital of the world, one of them anyway. obviously there's economic ramifications on this and every

city is trying to decide, all right, what do we do? we're in uncharted territory. >> it's complicated. there's a lot of money at stake, a lot of fun at stake. i suppose people can make individual decisions. >> the ncaa tournament is next week. i mean so you have multiple venues, people traveling all over the country to get to game sites or not, if you're not allowed. who knows. >> every day there are new cancellations. we'll see what happens when we get there. >> thanks, larry. join us tonight for abc 7 news at 11:00. >> i'm kate larson in san francisco where the san francisco archdiocese announced that 90 of their schools, including four high schools, will be closing this week because of the coronavirus for at least the next two weeks. coming up at 11:00, what school the infected student attends and what parents have to say about it. >> bay area cities taking steps to ban coronavirus-related evictions but will it be enough? >> that's all coming up later. we appreciate your time. i'm dan ashley. >> i'm ama daetz.
