transit agencies. the san francisco bay ferry is making face covers mandatory as of tomorrow. allorke covering, and the same goes for all drivers and passengers on sam trans, and sam trans is cutting more routes, starting this weekend. today droneview7 flew over the downtown santa rosa smart train station. it was deserted, as you can see while we were there. ridership is down 90%. only a third of weekday trains are run, and there is no weekend service. san francisco is following a move made in oakland, closing streets to traffic to give people more room to maintain social distance while out walking, jogging or biking. while in oakland traffic is still allowed and streets won't be closed completely to cars. we put this map on our website, abc7news.com. now tomorrow governor newsom will provide new details about the process of lifting

california's shelter-in-place ord order. >> this will go to the obvious questions and queries that all of us are asking, when. >> well, when is the big question. abc7 news news anchor liz kreutz gives you some insight. >> 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 shelter 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, barber shopping, bowling alleys, some restaurant and some theaters will open. next week in colorado residents will be recommended to stay home but not required to. and in tennessee and ohio, a majority of businesses will be allowed to reopen may 1st, 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. >> that was liz kreutz reporting. now today on midday live, we asked viewers when do you plan on going out?

well, look at the results. the majority say they're just not sure at this point. about a small number voted evenly between first day, first week and first month after the restrictions are lifted. a lot of people still trying to get comfortable with the idea. riverside county is one place that is easing restrictions. golfers were back out today on a golf course that had been closed for more than a month. but there are rules. they must wear masks, and only one person is allowed in a cart. but two people are allowed to ride together if they live in the same house. there are also a few other changes golfers may notice. >> there is no ball washers on the tee. there are no rakes in the bunkers. everything that involves other touching and where folks could overlap their touching has been eliminated. >> riverside county is also allowing for hiking and biking and noncontact sports like tennis. however, people must practice social distancing, and they need to cover their face. so here are the latest coronavirus case numbers in the

bay area in santa cruz county, part of the bay area, we are at 6,827 since the beginning of the pandemic. many of those cases have recovered. our death toll stands at 219. that's six more deaths than we reported last night on abc7 news at 6:00. there are 11 cases in lake and mendocino counties. officials say nine of the patients have recovered so far. and we're charting the total number of local cases on to this graph so we can see the trend. remember, our goal is to bend that curve, to flatten it out. this includes data for 14 counties, the bay area and surrounding areas. most of san francisco advocacy covid-19 cases are in the mission district, the heart of the city's hispanic and latino communities. a testing program will start in the mission this weekend. neighborhood leaders also want to know what else is being done to help people. luz pena joins us live with the story. luz? >> ama, based on the numbers reported by the city, at least 300 latinos tested positive for

covid-19. this community is highly impacted. close to 1200 san franciscans have tested positive for covid-19. a large portion of those cases are coming from the 94110 zip code, the mission district. >> citywide, 25% of positive covid-19 cases are among latinos. although they make up only 15% of the san francisco population. >> julio mejia has lived in the u.s. for 20 plus years. he has a work permit and employees ten people. he is concerned about his community. >> at this time some people can get benefit, we know, you know. and this is no correctly. we have to protect everybody this time, especially in this situation. it's really bad. >> district 9 supervisor hillary ronan has known about these cases for three weeks now. >> what has happened during that

time to help this community? >> we're doing weekly outreach through spanish language media, explaining how to protect yourselves and what services are available to you. we've been working with ucsf to create the first study of its kind. >> overcrowded housing arrangements and the latino community's fear towards government has contributed to these cases. central american resource director identifies a bigger issue here. >> we have a chance to flatten the curve and the xenophobia and the racism this country is suffering from. >> today supervisor ronin is also authoring legislation to push for more inclusion of the latino community in the federal relief package. >> are you asking for the immigrant community in our city to receive a stimulus check like everyone else? >> absolutely, yes. >> so far, two testing sides have been set apart here in this neighborhood. testing will begin on saturday.

and today 450 people registered. in san francisco, luz pena, abc7 news. [ closing bell ] >> a collapse in oil prices dragged down stocks for the second day this week. demand for energy during the pandemic is down drastically as air travel, road travel and manufacturing all face severe cutbacks. the dow went down 631 points, closing just over 23,000. the nasdaq lost almost 300. the s&p dropped 86 today. crude oil prices have actually gone below zero, as strange as that sounds. off the coast of southern california, oil tankers are anchored in place where nowhere to go. colleen sullivan from our sister station in los angeles has that story. >> a stand still of traffic on the open sea. large oil tankers crowding the ocean off the port of long beach. the sight signals a massive drop in demand for oil due to the coronavirus pandemic.

>> so right now there has been a backup of tankers and whereas normally there would be half a dozen anchored out there, today i'm looking at the report i just got. there are 24. >> captain kip lutig leads the vessel traffic service, vts, which is similar to air traffic control for airplanes. he and his team schedule all of the 25,000 ships within our area. >> so we watch the traffic from monterey to the north to the mexican border to the south and out one hundred miles to sea so we can see the ships coming in. >> having four times as many oil tankers in a holding pattern isn't a cause for concern for captain lutig. he sees it as action. but with fewer people traveling and factories closed due to the coronavirus, demand for oil has plunged. industry experts say some 160 million barrels of oil are being

stored on tankers at sea, more than ever before. >> my predictions are that if we get back to work, and i don't know when, when the demand goes up again, you're going to be dealing with very high oil prices because you're going to have fewer companies producing and the supply will be limited, and the demand is going to be what it used to be. and that means when you look at that equation, that really means high prices. >> well, gas prices are going down. at this arco station in concord, gas as low as $2.29 per gallon. the current price in san francisco is just a penny over $3 per gallon. its down more than a dollar since last year. oakland drivers pay $2.90. and it's a few cents less in san jose. san francisco's hotel industry is hurting during the coronavirus pandemic, facing millions of dollars in revenue loss. it could result in permanent changes. abc7 news reporter stephanie

sierra joins us live tonight with a look at how the industry is preparing for this. stephanie? >> well, ama, it's unclear how many of the city's 215 hotels may be forced to close. but we do know when shelter 234 place orders are lifted, day-to-day operations will be looking a lot different. for the first time in nearly two decaded, the gold brass iron doors of the omni san francisco hotel remains shut to the public, being one of 70 hotels across the city that have temporarily closed due to covid-19. >> it was very difficult to swallow the pill and say okay, we need to move on. >> james lim, the hotel's general manager, furloughed more foed to csenlfot ote2 rooms occupied. bination of angst, sadness, and the fear of what's going happen in the next few weeks or months. >> hotel occupancy rates in san francisco dropped dramatically, from 85% down to 6% weeks before

mandatory shelter in place orders. and even when those orders are lifted, kevin carroll, ceo of the san francisco hotel council says it will take months, even a year for those percentages to climb back. >> we know that we'll recover. we know that people will start to come become to the city, but how will that look? will there be differences in how we can hold meetings? will there be differences in how guests can interact? >> legitimate questions that will likely change day to day operations. >> james, what about cleaning the hotel rooms? how do you expect that process to change? >> i mean, we're dedicating almost half a day per room just to deep clean the guest rooms. but it has to be fully saniti sanitized. >> dedicating a half day to clean one room without the means to rehire a full staff will be tough. >> covid-19 has really

dramatically changed how we operate business. >> they're working on setting new guidelines for cleaning hotel guest rooms. but it's unclear if a wait period between guests will be required or just recommended. reporting live, stephanie sierra, abc7 news. >> so much to be figured out. thank you, stephanie. abc7 is partnering with iheartradio to support local businesses being hit hard during the pandemic. thousands of bay area stores and businesses are still open, offering to help with essential needs, and many are also hiring. go to abc7news.com to find resources. just click on support the bay. all right. a lot more to come here. restaurants are some of the most visible victims of the economic impact of the pandemic. next, a live update on what the future of the food industry and food safety could look like. i'm spencer christian with a look at the warming trend that just keeps on warming. i'll have the accuw we're all in this fight, all the way. from the 7,000 cigna clinicians, supporting front line doctors and nurses,

happening today, this is takeout tuesday. it's a chance to support local restaurants that are really going througherimritnoouknow. 80% of workers have been laid off in the industry stands to lose half a trillion dollars. but we are seeing places that are reopening for takeout and delivery like san francisco's provacco republican party. >> o -- restaurant. one of the things people need is food. now when we're not down and out, but we're hanging on the ropes, we appreciate all the community support we can get. >> pro vacco is also giving back by sending meals to emergency rooms and icus as well. it's estimated one in ten workers in california is employed by a restaurant. it's a huge industry. but the future of both faces some serious challenges if and when places can reopen. abc7 news reporter david louie is live from his home looking into big changes that could impact both diners and

restaurant operators alike. >> that is true, dan. as diner, we may see servers with gloves and masks, dining rooms and kitchens are not designed for social distancing. since eating with a mask is impossible, food safety will require some big changes. takeout tuesday is helping to keep some bay area restaurants from perishing. but their futures are filled with uncertainties and unresolved issues. >> i do think it is disconcerting when you see a server with a mask on their face. take sushi for example. >> it's not really a practice that works with gloves. and how do you do sushi and make people feel comfortable with the fact that your hands are clean and that you're doing the right thing? >> restaurants will face social distancing standards. spacing out tables could reduce capacity in half, but that would hurt revenue. they couldn't raise prices 50% just to offset a 50% reduction

in diners. then there is the tight quarters in kitchens. >> if there are social distancing standards in the kitchen, how do you figure out spacing people apart when the way your kitchen is designed and all the different stations, there just isn't fundamentally space for that? >> a study of restaurants in china also indicates ventilation systems for spreading covid-19 infections, raises doubts a 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 against lots of pathogens. n yet ift's effeagaii covid-19. >> now he is a former associate commissioner for food at the food and drug administration. restaurant groups are working with the governor's task force. that means retraining, recalibration, and even simpler menu items could be coming. we're live working from home, david louie, abc7 news.

>> all right, david, thank you. the state of california is looking for volunteers. the announcement was made during the governor's daily update today by someone you might recognize. former novato mayor josh friday. he is now california's chief service officer. >> we are asking all californians who are healthy to stand up, to step up, and to help connect and make a difference in your community. >> the state has launched a website to organize people willing to volunteer by getting them to support food banks, deliver meals, donate blood, and other tasks. you can find a link on our website, abc7news.com. sometimes you immediate professional help. for example, legal matters. the shelter-in-place order has many people getting their house in order, which includes setting up will or even a trust. as ayshia reporter leslie brinkley tells us, medical professionals are getting their documents assembled. >> life on the front lines is leading many to make sure their affais 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. of course they're concerned about covid-19 and potentially passing away from the illness. they're concerned about their families, knowing what they would want, their wishes as far as being on a ventilator. >> some businesses are offering drive-by notarizations. this estate planning attorney is also a notary, and he made a house call for an east bay doctor just two days ago. >> they have been working directly with coronavirus patients. obviously, they're very concerned about their own

well-being, their own safety. they have small children. so i personally went to their house and went to their yard to ensure all the appropriate notarizations. i stayed as far away as possible. we worked in their backyard on the picnic table. >> getting it done somehow some way. for many medical professionals, having that trust, that will, that health care directive equals peace of mind. i'm leslie brinkley, abc7 news. >> and we have a special section on our website with resources to answer whatever your questions are about coronavirus. things about what about stimulus and unemployment help? what are the rules about face covers? you'll find it all at abc7news.com/covidhelp. we sure will. have you noticed the weather getting warmer? if you haven't, you really will soon. changes are coming. spencer has the seven-day forecast next. and here at abc7, we're honoring the class of 2020, who have had to forgo graduation

ceremonies and other milestones because of the coronavirus pan am. she is now going on to uc berkeley where she'll be a student athlete in gymnastics. her mom tells us her daughter has always excelled in the gym and at school. so congratulations, elise, and go bears! and if you want to honor a graduate, share the details on our website, abc7news.com. we may give them a shout out on tv or online. please, no professional photos. we just want the see 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.

a lot of bicyclists and walkers were out near ocean beach in san francisco today. that's despite signing warning people to stay away and the closure of parking lots. part of the great highway has also been closed off, allowing bicyclist, runners and walkers more space to get out, but to social distance. and that is the key. this nice weather is tempt, and we should all get out and take a

nice walk, but we have to follow the rules and stay safe, ama. >> we absolutely do. and it's going get hotter. so it's going to be a little tempting to get outside. spencer christian is here with the latest on our weather. spencer? >> you're right, ama. it's going to be tempting to get outside, even though we shouldn't violate the rules of keeping our social distance. but beautiful weather coming our way. here is a look at live doppler 7. we had a lovely day today and still a lovely evening all around the bay area. it's breezy, with wind speeds ranging from 15 to 25 miles per hour generally across the bay area. and it's warmer than it was at this time yesterday. 24-hour temperature change shows it's 7 degrees warmer in livermore and santa rosa than at this time yesterday. 9 degrees warmer in concord. it's warmer just about everywhere. here is a view from the exploratorium camera looking toward -- well, looking eastward. it's 58 degrees in san francisco right now. 62 in oakland. upper 60s in redwood city, san jose and gilroy. 55 at half moon bay. the view from emeryville looking

back towards san francisco. petaluma 64. we have 67 at napa. low 70s at fairfield and concord. 64 at livermore. and as we look at treasure island, again, these are our forecast features. warming trend will continue through friday. that will probably be about the peak of our warming. above average temperatures will prevail in most area, and there will be minor cooling over the weekend. but only by a few degrees. overnight tonight, look for mainly clear skies. low temperatures generally in the upper 40, close to 50 around the bay shoreline. tomorrow's highs mid 60s on the coast. mid-70s around the bay shoreline, and up to and even above 80 degrees tomorrow in the warmest inland locations. here is why we have this warming trend. a big ridge of high pressure is building offshore. that's going to be the dominant feature in our weather for the next several days. so the warming will continue through friday, and perhaps even into saturday if we don't get a little cooling at the coast. here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. mainly sunny skies through the entire seven-day period. temperatures may take a slight

dip over the weekend. we're going have this breezy pattern that we have right now all the way through the weekend. but it's not likely to bring any cooling, though, until the weekend. and then early next week, temperatures rebound and it warms up again. dan and ama? >> nice week. thanks, spencer, very much. well, some people experience coronavirus with a cough and a fever. for others, though, it's deadly. could the difference be related to dna? 23 and me is trying to find out. here's a question. where did all the robocalls go? i'm michael finney. 7 on your side is straight ahead. and abc7 has launched new streaming apps. so wherever you are, you can get our live newscasts, breaking news, weather, and more. it's on our new abc7 bay area app on apple tv, android tv, fire tv and roku. just search abc7 bay area and download it for free.

so that the hospitals can cope. we're gonna go through an awful lot of these. all across puget sound, people have been stepping up and donating personal protective equipment. we stay at work. for you. you stay at home for us. just know we're all with you. thank you, thank you so much. thank you doctors & nurses.

now your health, your safety. this is abc7 news. >> and let's get you caught up on today's headlines when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic. >> ama, tomorrow six bay area counties will begin to enforce the requirement that people wear a mask or face covering in public. today the senate approved nearly $500 billion for a new coronavirus aid bill that would help fund small businesses, hospitals, and coronavirus tests. and president trump announced a 60-day pause on issuing green cards. >> by pausing immigration, we'll help put unemployed americans first in line for jobs as america reopens. so important. it would be wrong and unjust for americans laid off by the virus to be replaced with new immigrant labor flown in from abroad. >> president trump's decision touched off reaction from people who call it another step to halt legal immigration, while others feel it protects our economy and

safety. one immigrant rights advocate believes cutting off immigration would hurtn helping amera covid-19. >> are the farm the table. they are the janitors who are keeping the hospital clean and they are the nurses and doctors who are caring for those patients. >> clearly economic circumstances call for a temporary pause. certainly the health issue calls for a temporary pause. we don't have the capacity to screen people to make sure they're not bringing the virus into the country. >> the formal order officially blocking immigration could come within days. court challenges, of course, are expected. could your dna hold clues to how sick you get from coronavirus? that's one of the questions one of the nation's largest dna testing websites is hoping to answer. here is abc anchor kristen sze with the story. >> as the novel coronavirus has

spread, the medical community has been stumped. why do some people get covid-19 and get very sick and die. why do others carry the virus and not even know they have it? could the answer be in our dna? >> our primary goal is to try to understand whether there are genetic factors in humans that influence how severe the disease is for different people. >> joyce tung is vice president of research at 23 and me, one of the nation's largest dna companies. a week and a half ago the company launched a covid-19 survey. they already have 50,000 responses and want more. >> obviously, most people fortunately have not been diagnosed with covid-19. and so we hope to, you know, open this up to even more people, because really, for genetics, you need a lot of data in order to make good discoveries. >> 23 and me currently has the dmaf of more than 10 million customers and has published over 150 research papers on a huge range of different diseases.

>> we're in a good position again to try to make a discovery relatively quickly that we can share with the rest of the scientific community. >> the seven to ten-minute survey are only available to people who have agreed to be part of the research. it asks about symptoms, underlying health conditions and other factors. >> we're looking at severity. have people been treated, have people been hospitalized. >> while it's too soon to draw any conclusions, 23 and me says it may have findings to report in as few as a week if not months. kristen sze, abc7 news. all right. stuck at home. you would think between our mobile devices and land lines, we would just be flooded, inundated with unwanted sales calls. but thankfully, that hasn't been the case. michael finney is looking into why and joins us now. it's interesting. welcome. >> yeah, it is interesting. we're all getting a small little break from robocalls. so you may ask why. well, actually, it's a side effect of a worldwide pandemic.

i asked ingrid koolen in san francisco to show me how she is working from home, something she had never done before the pandemic. she finds it has come with an unexpected benefit. almost no robocall interruptions. >> surprisingly very few since i've been staying at home. >> ingrid can actually quantify the change. >> i went through my caller id on my land line to see how many i had. and it was almost like three a day before shelter in place. and now it's -- i'm down to i think i've had two since i've been home in the last month. >> umail, the robocall blocking app has seen a huge drop in irritating calls. alex ulicci. >> the main reason robocalls are dropping is there are far fewer call centers that are active right now.

so they've either closed or they're doing social distancing so they have far fewer seats. >> he says even if you don't have his service, umail is working for you. by reporting bad actors to the authorities. >> we shut down a really nasty scam. it was calling people and offering a free at home covid-19 test. they didn't exist. hey, let's try to shut this thing down before it causes real damage, and we were successful. >> and ingrid has some peace and quiet. >> i have no idea. but it's really nice. >> as the stay-at-home orders here and overseas loosen up a little bit, we're going start getting more calls. so dan, ama, be ready for a new onslaught. >> oh, great. >> great. thank you, michael. well, coronavirus has upended a lot of life's usual schedules. but high school seniors still face a looming deadline to pick a college for the fall. see how san jose state university is helping them get

that i have all my questions answered and understood all the material. >> college admissions experts say it's important for students to do their research and to connect with student led associations on campus to learn more. >> look at all the facts and use your logic and you'll make the rght decision. >> in san jose, chris nguyen, abc7 news. >> it is so easy to loose track of time these days. just to remind you, today is tuesday, april 21st, day 36 of the shelter at home rules in the bay area. and really, hardly anyone is flying these days. you aren't likely to realize the impact, though, without a trip to the airport. abc7 news reporter wayne freedman went for a visit. >> imagine a busy airport without the sound of airplanes, where many of those that you do see have not moved for weeks. where empty buses circle the and where a passenger entering the terminal might frighten you with the noise.

this is sfo covid-19 style. as one sign says, welcome to san francisco. stay healthy with six feet of space, warns another, as if that's going to be an issue. >> attention -- to help reduce the spread of the covid-19 virus -- >> on an average day, sfo sees roughly 150,000 passengers coming and going. with covid-19, 4,000. and those who remain are not very sociable. can you talk about flying today? >> no. >> do you feel like talking about your experience up there, how your flight was? >> no thank you. >> if you're one of the people who felt that crowds within traveling tend to make us feel isolated, this is the opposite. no slamming of bags. no pushing, no jostling, and it's still an existential experience. really, no adequate words, this woman said. >> eerie? >> eerie? >> eerie and sad. >> but it's what we've been dealt, a long singular moment.
