but millions of masks thought to be located for california health care workers won't materialize after all, and now federal law enforcement is investigating this suspected case of fraud. abc i-team reporter melanie woodrow has that story new at 6:00. >> the number was staggering, 39 million critically needed n95 masks for california health care workers. millions of them going to health care systems right here in the bay area. tonight a spokesperson for the union that located the supplier says the suspected fraud is very disappointing. for weeks health care workers across california and right here in the bay area have been calling for more personal protective equipment as they battle the coronavirus pandemic. >> what do we want? after launching an exhaustive search, service employees international union, unitedhealthcare workers west announced two weeks ago it had done the near impossible, locating 39 million n95 masks for hospitals and government agencies. in an emailed statement to the

i-team an seiu-uhw person writes our role was to connect those who needed ppe with a potential supplier. on the list was the state of california, dignity health, kaiser permanente, stanford health care, sutter health, and santa clara county. once the connection was made, the union says it was up to those who needed the equipment to work out details like quantities, payment, and delivery. in a stunning turn of events, health care systems quickly learned they would never actually get their hands on those much needed supplies. kaiser permanente telling the i-team we placed orders for 6 million n95 maks. despite multiple requests, the supplier repeatedly failed to provide reliable information about where we could verify and inspect equipment. kaiser withdrew and no money exchanged hands. we learned shortly afterwards the supplier never had possession of the masks. sutter says they didn't finalize

a transaction with the supplier either. stanford made the decision not to pursue. a union spokesperson now says we desperately wanted to see the purchases come through, but the fact is that this situation cries out for government action. the union gave the supplier's name to the federal coronavirus task force looking into problems with ppe. kaiser permanente says they are also cooperating with federal law enforcement in their investigation of suspected fraud in this case. the union says they'll keep trying to do whatever they can, including connecting hospitals with supplies. still, the union spokesperson also says the supply chain for this type of equipment is fraught with problems. in the newsroom for the i-team, melanie woodrow, abc7 news. today the santa clara county public health department issued a new order asking individuals and businesses to report if they have large inventories of personal protective equipment on hand. the announcement comes in anticipation of a forthcoming shortage. abc7 news reporter chris nguyen has the story from san jose.

state and federal supplies. >> silicon valley has been one of the hardest hit areas in california. the order comes one day after county officials confirmed nearly 1400 cases and 46 deaths related to covid-19. >> most likely all of us will be impacted by knowing someone affected by covid-19, and so through this collective effort, we can all achieve a better state together. >> the county says information collected will be kept confidential and will only be used for public health purposes. >> we must continue to prepare, and we must continue to do everything in our power to prevent additional hospitalizations and deaths and to protect our community. >> in san jose, chris nguyen, abc7 news. >> and over the past month, practically every public event was canceled because of the pandemic and the resulting shelter in place orders. but conflicting messages are circulating now about whether the san francisco pride parade is happening in june. as of right now, the parade

california still kicking some showers up in our direction. wide circulation around that storm. so forecast animation going into the evening hours and overnight hours shows more showers likely to move through the bay area, mainly the the south bay and over to the santa cruz mountains. but a stray shower or two could hit other regions of the bay area as well that will continue into tomorrow morning before it starts to become more diffuse. and then by the end of the day, we'll probably not see any more showers coming our way. don't expect to see bright sunshine until around friday. overnight lows will be generally in the upper 40s to low 50s. tomorrow's highs mainly in the upper 50s near the coast. low to mid-60s just about everywhere else. we'll have to wait for friday for some warming to begin. here it is on the accuweather seven-day forecast. highs getting up to around 70 inland. and over easter weekend, the true warm-up begins. we'll see high temperatures in the mid- to upper 70s inland -- on sunday, monday, and tuesday. and mid-70s around the bay shoreline for part of that period. a warm-up is definitely coming our way. we have to wait until the weekend brings that wonderful

downpours, but brief. and then they'll move through the south bay and the santa cruz mountains. and maybe a few isolated showers widely scattered will move through going into the daytime hours tomorrow. look for lingering clouds. overnight lows will generally be in the upper 40s to low 50s. fairly mild. not very cold overnight. and then tomorrow, chillier than average. breezy conditions, especially at the coast. highs will range from upper 50s at the coast to mainly low and mid-60s just about everywhere else, even in the mildest inland locations. however, we expect a little bit of a warming trend going into the weekend on friday. it will be a bit milder inland than tomorrow. on saturday, look for spring in the air with highs in the upper 60s the low 70s inland, and even warmer than that on sunday. here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. the warm-up really begins in full force on saturday. and as we go into early next week we can expect to see high temperatures in the upper 70s inland.

mid-70s around the bay shoreline. mid- to upper 60s on the coast. and not much change as we get to midweek. finally we're getting a stretch of mainly sunny and warm days. and you know what? it's about time, dan and ama. >> it is. >> yeah, definitely. thank you, spencer. >> all right. let's turn our attention to sports. sports director larry beil is here, am marks with some news about tom brady tonight. >> he goes in-depth on his decision to leave the patriots. plus we talked with the best women college hoops player in the country who hails from walnut creek, sabrina this is our home. we've never seen it look quite like this, but there's no mistaking it. and it's our job to protect it. because the best people to fight for our communities are those within them. so, if you've just bought a volkswagen or were thinking of buying sometime soon, we're here to help with the community driven promise.
