6:00 pm
last friday, sew llano's county was expected through may 17. sonoma county is expected to expire may 3, but will likely be extended. >> today is day 42 of our shelter in place. one california school is making plans to reopen and it's here in the bay area. that school is cal maritime, located in vallejo, part of the csu system. it's training ship, the golden bar, is visible across the bridge. this school is different from other cal state campuses. that's part of why it's making plans to resume classes. our anchor is live with the story tonight. liz? >> reporter: hi, dan. that's right, cal maritime has been approved by the governor to resume classes as soon as next month. some parents, includng one here in marin county, were surprised. but the school says they're taking extreme cautions. like so many universities across
6:01 pm
the country, cal maritime currently looks like a ghost town. all classes now virtual, no students on call pmpus. sarah sanders' son, noah, is a freshman. she was surprised when she learned classes were set to resume. >> it is interesting. it's weird. all my friends with college age students can keep their kids home for the summer. that's not our case. which is good and bad. >> reporter: cal maritime says the school is planning to take serious all cadets will be heal screened daily. they will live in their own individual rooms and be required to wear face coverings any time they leave the dorm. cafeterias will be closed with food delivered to their doors. it sounds like a lot of restriction also be put in place, but how are you feeling
6:02 pm
as a parent sending your son back to school? >> it's mixed. we're taking the lead from our son. checking in to see how he's feeling. so i guess they're kind of a trial case. we'll see how it goes. >> reporter: cal maritime is a small isolated school, just under 1,000 students. many of the classes cannot be taught virtually. that's why if there's any school to resume, she realizes this might be a good one to try first. >> if it doesn't work, we'll really know it will be hard for the bigger schools. if it does work, i would be excited. >> reporter: cal maritime these is a partial reopening. of the staff will continue working from home. because the county has extended their shelter in place order through may 17, the tentative start date for classes is may 20th. >> liz, as we said, cal maritime is part of the cal state system. is this decision to open cal maritime part of a larger plan for the csu system?
6:03 pm
>> reporter: that's a good question. one i'm sure many people have. the short answer we've been given is no, it is not. they say cal maritime is in a different unique position than other universities. we just got a statement from the governor's office saying they only approved the maritime academy to reopen because of the essential work they're being trained for, that requires hands on. they say this is the only academy of its kind in the state and does not seven as a precedent for other universities in california. >> it's unique, obviously. thanks, liz. there's no sign of statewide restrictions lifting. an today, the governor was very clear about sticking to the rules for a little while longer. >> the worst thing we do is we start sort of rest on our laurels thinking the virus has decided to take a break or go on vacation. it's transmisible as it's ever been. nothing has changed in that respect. the only thing that changed is
6:04 pm
our behavior for the better. >> better behavior is not what was on display over the weekend. crowds of people flocked to southern california beaches. look at this. police estimated the number at 40,000 at newport beach. today, the governor reminded all of us the threat of coronavirus remains. >> it doesn't take the weekend off. it doesn't take any time off. it is ubiquitous. it is invisible. and it remains deadly. >> that continued threat is why san francisco and most of the bay area plan to extend shelter in place restrictions. today, our reporter spoke with a business making plans to reopen. it has to be a big disappoi disappointment. >> reporter: oh, yeah, but not surprising. businesses knew that reopening after may 3rd was wishful thinking. state officials realized that california has not seen the number of cases and deaths that other cities, other states have seen. but they insist that lifting the
6:05 pm
restrictions now could lead to a large surge in cases. >> unfortunately, we will need to extend the deadline for the stay-at-home order through the month of may. >> reporter: sadly for businesses, it was expected, but it was not the announcement they were hoping for. most businesses have been temporarily closed since march 16th. as they begin their seventh week in lockdown mode, businesses must now remain closed for at least five more weeks. health officials say they are still seeing new cases of covid-19. >> make no mistake, this virus is still out there. and it is still a threat. >> reporter: the extra weeks will give the economic recovery task force more time to come up with a protocols business also have to follow. >> there's going to be a change with restaurants, a change with hair salons and nailsans>> seve
6:06 pm
we've been discussing. >> reporter: this salon in san francisco has come up with its own to-do list in preparation for the day when they are allowed to reopen. their staff will be trained, there will be hand sanitizers, masks and gloves. temperature checks will be done every day, and there will be staggered entry for clients. >> our priority is to ensure the health and safety of our clients, as well as our staff. >> reporter: meanwhile, as people in san francisco become more desperate to go outside, mayor breed announced jfk drive in golden gate park and shelly drive in mcclaire n park will b closed to cars and open to pedestrians as early as 6:00 a.m. >> we still need you to socially distance yourselves from people out in the park and to stay six feet apart. that is so critical. >> reporter: and mayor breed is very concerned about that. the false sense of security that
6:07 pm
these masksiv people, they think that because they have one on, that they just need to maintain short distance. and i don't know about you, but this weekend, i saw a lot of people with their masks on approaching people very closely. did you see that? >> yeah. or a lot of people still not wearing masks and approaching people on paths because paths aren't very wide. let's talk about the new shelter in place deadline extension. end of way is where we're talking. any chance, any hope that it could open before then, or is that a hard deadline? >> reporter: here's what we know. governor newsom made it clear last week that it will really depend on how much testing and tracking gets done. remember, testing is supposed to increase in the next few weeks. once they receive that data, then they -- and if they see good results, they will slowly begin to open businesses. but, again, that sounds a little
6:08 pm
vague, but vague seems to be the most common words of these days. i would say that a lot of people are thinking to perhaps expect the worst but hope for the best. >> yeah. it's probably a good way to look at it. our insider weighed if on some of the changes, and he reminds us that people are getting antsy and there's another month to go at least. >> let's say you have a business, can you do that business by going out to the curb side and delivering? somebody calls in advance, can you do that? what can be done while maintaining social distancing? i'm not thinking this is going to be a big change later this week. we might see some changes in the construction to allow for more. all housing to be built. we may not. we may see things about social gatherings getting looser, we may not. no big things now. >> you can read phil's columns in the chronicle every wednesday
6:09 pm
and sunday. we are tracking the number of coronavirus cases in 14 counties, the bay area and surrounding areas. santa clara has the highest total number, more than 2,000. alameda, san francisco, and san mateo counties each have more than 1,000. overall, you can see each county is following a similar trend. it wille is known about how the novel coronavirus entered the united states. but a new revelation offers insight into how the virus may have begun to spread at the consumer electronics show in las vegas back in january. it's one of the largest technology trade fairs in the world, with deep sees to silicon valley. chris nguyen has this story from san jose. >> reporter: after leaving ces in january, professor michael weber realized that something wasn't right as he waited to board his flight out of vegas. >> i noticed a lot of other people in the lounge were coughing and sneezing and h
6:10 pm
hacking. i was thinking i was going to get sick. >> reporter: that's what happened when he got home. >> a cough, chills, fever, trouble breathing. i couldn't breathe easily at night when i was trying to sleep, body aches. and really lost my appetite with food. >> reporter: weber thinks he may have contracted covid-19 at the conference, which draws 170,000 people from across the globe every year. at the time, the novel coronavirus was just beginning to make headlines in america. this past week, he tested positive for covid-19 antibodies. >> a lot of people sharing the same air, a lot of close contact, a lot of shaking hands, visiting booths to see products and goods. so it's hard to avoid. >> reporter: the revelation comes as the baseline for the spread of the disease keeps changing. angela caruso with american public media says data compiled by her team shows that more than 150 companies from santa clara county set up exhibits at ces.
6:11 pm
>> being able to backtrack and see how the spread of this virus took off is important to figuring how to get back to normal life and be prepared if another public health emergency occurs. >> reporter: infectious disease experts say we'll never know how much of an impact ces had in spreading the virus, but one of the early events that may have contributed. >> it's worth exploring and looking at what were the roots by which people arrived at the conference and what were the roots -- and do those correlate with subsequent mini outbreaks of disease around the world? >>reporter: an opportunity to continue searching for answers at a time of such uncertainty. >> i feel better having knowledge about my antibody situation. the more we know, the better position we are to deal with this. >> reporter: in the south bay, chris nguyen, "abc7 news." >> and then there's this. a 36-year-old woman tested positicovid-19 and later found out she had multiple blood

6:13 pm
christina. >> a group of patient where is the virus is clearly impacting the ability to clot and causing what we call an abnormal clotting pattern that can sometimes be very dangerous. >> reporter: we're seeing the influence of covid-19, but this is showing us they're very different. >> we haven't seen a clear pattern with blood clots, whereas we are suspecting a very clear pattern with the coronavirus. >> reporter: in the hospital, christina remembers fearing for her life. while also playing her dad would survive his own fight against covid-19. michael was in the icu for three weeks. >> i know how lucky my dad is to be alive. you know what? we're definitely not out of the woods with him. >> so emotional for so many families. you probably heard about

6:31 pm
