6:08 am
are napa and sonoma, but they are just getting used to the order that just went into effect last week. the data was released by day cart lab, and the hope is people will keep it up because looks like we have another month of this to go. >> thank you, amy. an er physician agrees social distancing appears to be working but the hospital is not letting its guard down. >> i keep telling people, it's really eerie, the surge we have been anticipating has not yet come, so in preparation we built out to capacity and delayed or canceled elective procedures, and we have tried to make the hospital as empty and prepared as possible for an influx of patients. on the peninsula, skilled nursing facility considered at risk of coronavirus is facing a testing shortage. the rehab center had at least 13

6:20 am
drier air, and you can see the lack of cloud cover out there, and so we have mid to upper 30s in the north bay valleys, and low to mid-40s for the rest of us tomorrow morning. the moisture it brings is not as prevalent as yesterday. as we head towards noon and after, look at the gray kind of erase from our skies. that's the cloud cover going away, and the increasing sunshine. the reason why it will be warmer today, but you can see, no cloud cover tonight and that means cooler weather tomorrow. we will start april rather quietly, and it's going to be like today. we will get a cooler onshore breeze for thursday and friday and the coolest weather, saturday and sunday. that's also our best chance for wet weather. still no impact scale yet, and timing to be determined and amount will be light for sure. now we are turning to ginger z. >> good morning, ginger.

mendocino county has four cases. you can see where we are right now with the bell curve. the curve was fairly flat at the beginning of the month, and it's getting steeper. what we want to see is the line to flatten out, and that would mean the spread of the virus is slowing. when you hear officials say flatten the curve, this is what they are talking about. experts say we are on the verge of the upswing of the cases in the u.s. yesterday was a jump in the cases. more than 3,000 people have died, most are in new york state. >> this is unlike anything you have seen before. you will see it increasing, and you will see it everywhere. new york is just first. >> los angeles is also seeing a spike in cases.

6:41 am
there running mass transit. if your transit agency doesn't require rear boarding it's still a good idea to do that anyway, to protect yourself and the driver who is coming into contact with so many people. also, even though we are not being ticketed to move our cars during street sweeping, please do it anyway. they are having trouble getting around vehicles, and the better we make it for them the cleaner
6:42 am
6:43 am
it's 6:43 on a tuesday. hi. let's take a look at what's going on in the south bay. here's a look at san jose where it's 52 degrees right now. as far as your day planner, we start out cloudy with temperatures in the low 50s by 7:00, and at noon 50s at the
6:44 am
coast because the breezes will pick up and be faster than everywhere elsewhere we will hit 60. and then at 7:00 this evening, can you still get outside and walk around in the daylight. temperatures in the mid and upper 50s. around the states, not quite as active as it was, and still a few showers across the northern sections, and down across the south, 78 to 85 in l.a. let's talk about the high country because technically the snow season ends today, today is the last day but we have moderate to heavy snow saturday and sunday. we will be adding to the snow pack this weekend. reggie? >> thank you, mike. bay area counties are expected to release more details about extending the stay-at-home order, according to san francisco mayor, london breed. she told people yesterday to prepare to shelter in place until may 1st.
6:45 am
people could leave the house to get rocgroceries or get exercisr health care. extending shelter in place comes as we get a look at new data about social distancing. >> turns out, we're doing pretty wll. amy hollyfield is live in san francisco to break it all down. hey, amy. >> reporter: yeah, hi, kumasi. there are reminders out. look at the signs on the embarcadero, and out here this morning we are seeing people practicing it, jogging alone, and we are not seeing groups of people together, and now we have data to prove people are doing their part, and according to cell phone tracking san franciscans has shown a 90% reduction in movement, going just a few feet from their home in the last two weeks, where before they would move about 1.7 miles from their home.
6:46 am
>> i am not surprised we're doing a good job, because to be honest, governor newsom and the citizens in the bay area really got on this early. as far as i know we were one of the first cities here to have the shelter in place order, and it was not perfect, and even after it came into play people were still crowding the beaches and et cetera, but we were still one of the first. >> the results were released by a lab, and they show other bay area cities are following the order, with alameda, santa clara, marin with similar numbers. napa and sonoma show a bit more movement but they are just getting started with their shelter in place order that went into effect last week. so this is working? is it flatten the curve? they are saying it's too early to tell but it's something optimistic, and it does give you
6:47 am
hope. reporting live in san francisco, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >> thank you. we are doing well when it comes to the curve recommendations for social distancing. >> but a new study finds six feet might not be enough. jobina is at the live desk with more on this. >> good morning. i'm taking a closer look at the study from m.i.t. a professor says six feet may not be enough to prevent the spread of covid-19. after years of studying coughs and sneezes, she says droplets have the potential to travel up to 27 feet. the full study is published in the journal of the american medical association. many people understand social distancing to mean staying six feet apart because that's what the cdc and world health organization has recommended. the mit raises the question should there be more tkeudistan between us, and when i read the story this morning it didn't surprise me because i noticed
6:48 am
just the very few times that i am outside, people take that six feet and kind of cut it and make it a little shorter and shorter, and then hearing 27 feet is how far it could potentially travel is quite alarming. >> yeah, sometimes you don't know -- or some people don't know if a sneeze or cough might come up, and it's easy to think i will back away or turn away, but sometimes you don't have that time and you just get caught up. >> the dirty looks i have given people. >> right. >> generally in my life, but especially right now when they are too close. >> yes, trying to scoot around in the grocery store, and the line is there for a reason, everybody. >> thank you. a new warning for the fbi if you have been using the zoom app for group hangouts, and federal agents are looking into zoom

6:51 am
and san francisco is cheering for those on the front line of the coronavirus crisis. abc7 was in the western edition last night as people banged their pots and pans in honor of essential workers, and they are people that have to go to work during the pandemic putting their health at risk to help others. >> transit workers, bus drivers, this would be even harder than it is right now. >> i don't think we feel that much love all the time so it's so great to have so many people behind us, and appreciative of us. >> the cheers have been echoed around the world in italy, new york, and here in the bay area. it will happen again tonight at 7:00. all you have to do is open your window and make noise for front line workers.
