the spirit which they are wanting to loosen things up want to see those numbers increase and spike because of those decisions. >> the california department of public health says 33,261 people in the state have tested positive for covid-19. 1,268 have died. it's been more than a month since california began its shelter-in-place order. and now there is increasing pressure to ease that order and reopen the state. other states have already started that process. but experts and politicians warn this might be a little too soon. abc7 news anchor liz kreutz joining us live now to break it all down. liz? >> hey, larry. governor newsom, like so many other state leaders is trying to find that delicate balance between keeping the public safe and reopening the state and the economy. so today we decided to look at what some other states are doing as california does take a slower approach. it's the question we're all asking, when will california

reopen. >> there is a lot of anxiety and a lot of need to know. >> under public pressure, some states are already beginning to ease their health isser in place orders. in south carolina, some department and retail stores opened today with 20% capacity. public beaches opened as well. in georgia, starting friday, gyms, barbershops, bowling ally, some restaurants and theaters will open for business. next week in colorado, residents will be recommended to stay home, but not required to. and in tennessee and ohio, a majority of business also be allowed to reopen may 1, if not sooner. >> we need several things to unwind the current lockdown, if you will, and get people back into the public. arena as much as possible. >> one of those things that experts say is needed to reopen comes straight from the white house guidelines. it says states can begin a gradual reopening if there is a decrease in covid-19 cases over 14 days. but that's not the case in georgia, for instance, where the state's department of public

health has reported an increase in cases, and that is why newsom says california has not yet eased its restrictions. >> again, we are not out of the woods yet. >> in the last 24 hours, 60 more people in california died from covid-19. and take a look at this abc7 news graph showing cases in the greater bay area going back to march 1. while we are flattening the curve, cases are still going up, even if moderately. >> practicing physical distancing has worked to keep those numbers relatively modest in terms of growth. but if we pull back too quickly, those numbers will go through the roof. >> and governor newsom has promised an update tomorrow on the progress towards getting towards some kind of timeline to reopen the state. so hopefully we get some clarity then. we'll tune into that then. live from my neighborhood, liz kreutz, abc7 news. >> we've seen some cities reopen parks and beaches. there is some inconsistency

here. did the governor mention anything about that? >> yeah, we he was asked about that. as you have seen, we've seen san diego, santa cruz county, some areas are reopening their beaches and parks. newsom said that is okay, so long as people are abiding by social distancing orders. if they're doing that, they're good. the point when people aren't, there might be some kind of intervention. larry? >> liz kreutz reporting live. thank you. pacifica police will be adding more patrol officers to the streets as the weather warms up. they're going to be on the lookout for people who are violating the shelter in place orders. they're worried that the warmer weather is going to bring out of towners to beaches and trails. abc7 news reporter amy hollyfield with the story. >> we were surprised. there was certainly more people than we anticipated. >> reporter: pacifica police couldn't believe they had to send home 275 people last weekend. these were people who were more than five miles from their home. police thought the closure of beach parking lots would discourage people from visiting here. but they still found a way to

hang out here rather than sheltering at home. >> they were mostly parking in neighborhoods nearby, within walking distance. so i think in the coming weeks, there will be some additional measures put in place to further discourage people from traveling o pacifica to go to our beach. >> we see a lot of people coming through, parking in our neighborhood. and it's actually been pretty crowded, scary crowded. >> i thin the local people should be able to come. i think faraway gets too crowded. >> residents say they are relieved to hear police will be cracking down. >> today is not a great day for surfing. but, you know, the other day it was packed. it was at least 200 surfers in there again. that just needs to stop. >> reporter: but darius garcia says he feels stressed being at home all the time. he lives about 20 minutes from here, and likes to take his walks along the beach. >> i live far, a little bit far away from here. but i enjoy walking over here. >> reporter: police say they understand, and they will welcome people back to pacifica when this is all over. >> the orders are in place to protect you as well as people

who live in our community. >> reporter: here is the sign greeting visitors on highway 1 as they pull into pacifica. five miles or more from home? then turn around and go home. and if you are caught far away from home visiting pacifica, violating that order, it is punishable by up to a thousand dollars fine, and up to 90 days in jail. in pacifica, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. san francisco mayor london breed announced this morning the city is launching a slow streets proposal, a program. initially the 12 city streets that you see on this map will be closed to through traffic. the idea is to make it easier for people to maintain social distancing, allowing them to walk in the streets without having cars go whizzing by them. you'll recall oakland started a slow streets program earlier in the month. about 74 miles of city streets in oakland are closed to through traffic there. it's estimated one in ten workers in california is employed by a restaurant.

people feel comfortable with the fact that your hands are clean and you're doing the right thing. >> restaurants will take social distancing standards. speculation out tables could cut tables in half. but that will cut revenue. then there is the tight quarters in kitchens. >> if there is social distancing standards in the kitchen, how do you figure out spacing people apart when the way your kitchen is designed in all the different stations, there just isn't fundamentally space for that. >> a study of restaurants in china also implicates ventilation systems for spreading covid-19 infections, raising doubt if six-foot separation is sufficient. eating is not possible with face masks. wholesale food processors with similar issues are looking into a possible solution. >> can we use things like hydrogen peroxide in ventilation systems which have been shown to be effective agains pathogens. >> however, it's not known yet if it's effective against covid-19. now he is a former associate commissioner for food at the

[ closing bell ] another rough day on wall street as falling oil prices drag stock prices down even more. the dow jones has dropped more than 1200 points in just two days because of the oil market crash. demand has really plummeted because of the coronavirus pandemic. obviously people aren't driving as much. and gas prices have dropped nationwide for the eighth straight week. the national average is at $1.81 a gallon. prices have not been this low since 2002. california's average dropped by another penny overnight, but we're still paying more than just about everybody else. $2.80 per gallon. only the state of hawaii has a higher average. turning to consumer news now, and a big question we're getting is really about laundry. 7 on your side's michael finney joins us now with more. michael? >> kristen, you know just like everybody else that doing simple

little chores can turn into a huge hassle during this time of pandemic. and laundry is a big one, like you just said. so here are some tips to make it just a tad easier. if you're living with someone who has a suspected or confirmed case of the novel coronavirus, there are important precautions you need to take. first, keep any contaminated laundry in a separate bin. >> we don't know exactly how long this coronavirus survives on fabrics or clothes, but researchers think that it's possible the virus can remain infectious on clothes for hours or even days. so for any clothes that may have been exposed to the virus, consider those contaminate and keep those in a separate laundry bin. >> when it's time to do the laundry, use disposable gloves if you have them, and throw them away immediately after you finish. >> if you don't have gloves, you can absolutely do the laundry with your bare hands. and just be sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards, whether or not you have gloves.

>> you wash the laundry of a covid-19 patient as you normally would. experts say no special detergent or bleach is needed. but use the warmest appropriate water setting and dry them completely. after you put the laundry in the washer, disinfect all the surfaces in your laundry room that may have been contaminated. we're talking about doorknobs and the door pulls on the washing machine. finally, if you're using a shared laundry facility like in a apartment building or in a laundromat, disinfect handles and surfaces before you touch the machine and most importantly -- >> your chances of getting the virus from someone else directly are much higher than getting the virus from surface. so the most important thing is to stay at least six feet away from anyone else. >> and a final reminder, when you get home and finish the laundry, be sure to give your hands a thorough 20-second wash with soap and water. now here is a couple of final

thoughts on this. one, don't share towels. we're not hearing much about it, but when we do, the experts are saying even hand towels in your kitchen or something, those are single user towels. and then when you're talking about your laundry, they're telling you that the cloth can only hold the coronavirus for up to maybe four days. you've all heard it reported here. remember, you also have zippers and buttons, larry and kristen, and those can hang on the a coronavirus, we think up to two weeks. so keep that in mind. >> everything is so much more complicated now. >> i know. thinking about hanging four little towel hooks there. okay, thanks, michael. you can get a latte or cappuccino delivered right to your home. peet's coffee has announced a partnership with doordash to deliver from 142 of its locations. you can order coffee, baked sandwiches and coffee beans. see's candies is slowly ramping back up its business. the bay area company is ramped

aren't many boats on the water right now. >> no container ships, nothing going on out there right now. so that really does stand to say that it probably is this starvation event, which they will be able to judge by checking out the fat. >> now people are being told to stay away from the carcass, especially with the stay-at-home order. we know weather is getting warmer and you might want to wander down the beach. don't. just don't. >> that's right, don't. but it is tempting because the weather is pretty nice today, spencer. >> it is indeed nice, kristen, and larry. and so nice in fact that i decided to move back into any family room here and give you a look through the window so you can see how nice it is outside. let's take a look at live doppler 7 right now. we've got sunny skies across the bay area after a little bit of a dreary start this morning. and it's still breezy just about everywhere, especially near the coast, 29-mile-per-hour winds right now in san francisco, and the warm-up we've been talking about is evidenced here in the 24-hour temperature change.

it is 11 degrees warmer. fairfield, concord and livermore right now than it was this time yesterday. you can see the warming continues. let's take a look at current temperature readings at 60 in san francisco. but a bit milder in other locations. 68 redwood city. 70 at gilroy and san jose at 57 at half moon bay. looking up northward, 75 degrees right now in santa rosa. 70 at napa and petaluma. fairfield, 78. concord, 74. livermore, 71. and these are our forecast features. the breezy coastal pattern will persist for the next few days. nonetheless, the warming trend continues tomorrow, and we'll see temperatures in the mid- to upper 80s inland later this week. now overnight, look for mainly clear skies, especially inland and over the bay. but out over the coastal waters, we'll see a few clouds. overnight lows will be mainly int the upper 40s to near 50. and here is our forecast animation starting at 5:00 a.m. notice how clear it will be at that hour. but tomorrow because of the

strong wind flow down around the coastline, we'll see a few clouds return mainly to the coastline. we expect mainly sunny skies inland and over the bay once again tomorrow, with high temperatures ranging from mid -- low to mid 60 nears the coast to mid-70s right around bay shoreline to around 80 degree in the warmest inland locations. that warm willing continue because of a big ridge of high pressure is building offshore. that's going to be the dominant feature in our weather over the next several days, bringing us a string of sunny and warmer days right on through the end of the week. so for thursday, look for highs moving into the low to mid-80s inland. we'll see mid-70s around the bay. friday, upper 80s inland. maybe close to 90 at a couple of spots inland. on saturday, we'll see minor cooling, but it's still going to be mild to warm. and here is a look at the accuweather seven-day forecast. notice skies will be mainly sunny through the entire seven-day period. that slight cooldown over the weekend isn't going to interfere with the pattern very much

because temperatures will bounce back early next week. it not only feels like spring, it's going to feel almost like summer in some spots, especially as we get toward the end of the week. larry and kristen? >> spencer, it's got to be so challenging on a daily basis to decide which room in chateau christian do i broadcast from today? some of us have a simple fireplace. that's it. we're not going anywhere. all these spots, i don't know where to go. >> well, that bedroom seems to get into make me feel sleepy. so i decided to move in where it's brighter and livelier, and hopefully that will keep the viewers awake too. >> that's right. and you don't have anyone like larry does with his family telling him to stay in that one spot and don't get near the rest of them. >> that's for sure. >> i hear that sometimes too. >> all right, thanks, guys. a sports superstar chastised for ignoring the stay-at-home order. ooh.

centers for disease control warned that a second wave of coronavirus this winter will likely be worse. that's because it coincide was the start of flu season. many are anxious for governor newsom's update tomorrow when he will detail progress made in the six areas of our state's road map to recovery. he has promised an in-depth look attesting and contact tracing. president trump meantime is providing details about his surprise executive order to freeze america's immigration system in response to the coronavirus. the president told reporters today that the order will apply only to people seeking green cards. it will last 60 days and won't affect workers entering the country on a temporary basis. the u.s. has already restricted travel, though, for much of the globe. a malaria drug widely touted by president trump for treating the coronavirus showed no benefit in a study. researchers working with the veteran's administration reported there are more than twice as many deaths among patients getting hydroxychloroquine than usual

care. although it's not a rigorous experiment, it's the biggest report of results so far for the drug. the shelter-in-place order has many people getting their house in order, cleaning up, maybe cleaning out the garage. it can also mean setting up a will or a trust. and as leslie brinkley tells us, medical professionals are getting their documents assem e assembled. >> life on the front lines is leading many to make sure their affairs are in order. >> my wife and i are both anesthesiologists. and as anesthesiologists, we are exposed. part of our job is to do intubations, which is one of the high risk procedures for contracting coronavirus. we get the whole power of attorney. we did the trust and we did a will all combined. >> getting a lot of call, of course. people are worried about their futures. it's an uncertain time. they want to get these documents in place.

>> we know you have a lot of questions during the pandemic, and on abc7 news at 3:00 we have been getting answers. it is crunch time, of course, for high school students as they start thinking about colleges and universities they might want to apply to. but this is a school year, an application year unlike any other. today i spoke directly to the uc director of undergraduate admissions about the application process and how students will be evaluated. >> i think in general, all of our readers, our admission professionals understand that spring 2020, that term is an anomalous term. whether or not it's factored into an actual gpa, they'll understand what they're looking at. in terms of students who may have already taken the test or plan and are able to take a test this fall, if they have scores they do want to submit, then we will welcome that.

and those include for the a.c.t. or s.a.t. >> so test optional. another issue that students may run into is choosing whether to make covid-19 something they address in their essays. intercontinental i would consider what your way in through that topic, because i do think it will be so popular. but i also know that some colleges, i don't know whether it's this is true for the uc specifically, but are talking about creating a space. the common application has mentioned this where you can talk specifically about covid-19 and whether that's -- how it might have impacted your family, your financial situation, your housing, that sort of thing, or whether it's about the impact it had on your schooling or some other story you want to tell. so i would think about all the things that make up who you are and try and be really strategic in terms of what you talk about. and if covid-19 is it, then that's it. >> great information from a leading bay area college counselor there. we're going put more of today's segment on college admissions on

excess and let them air dry or gently dry the lenses with a soft tissue. it's kind of like a scuba diving tip. another tip is to make sure you have a tight seal at the top of your mask or face covering to prevent your breath from drifting upward. you folks had any problems with the new mask requirements. when we might as well as the one guy wearing glasses. and that's spencer christian. >> i have indeed had that problem. i've had to secure that part of the mask that goes over the nose to prevent my breath from going up into my glasses. every once in a while it gets a little steamy in here, yes. >> okay. i had that happen to me with sunglasses, actually. >> you try to run, it's not good. >> as you can't really breathe and get enough oxygen into your lungs? >> yeah, it's only for walking, i think, for me. >> oh, right, right. >> at least when i go outside.

restaurants here. >> well, that's not a big surprise. i'm kind of on the fence. for us it's the same as it always have been. but now we're probably cooking more. i think i'm stuck between wanting to just keep everything in-house, because i don't want to be -- i don't know who's handling the foods. i'm going back and forth on this. that's not a great answer, by the way. i think i was sort of obvious, actually. singapore's government has pulled a coronavirus campaign that features super heroes. they were called the virus van guard. the campaign was supposed to raise awareness about covid-19. doctor disinfector helps keep things clean. fake news buster wields the ballot of truth to stop the spread of rumors. but liverpool hating mawa man went too far. singapore has a big fan base for liverpool soccer. the government apologized and pulled the campaign. they're exploring new content.
