one rally drew dozens, maybe hundreds of thousands, who are angry with the governor's decision to shut down orange county beaches. governor newsom was upset with these sorts of scenes, thousands that showed up to beat the heat last weekend. this decision may not be final to keep these beaches closed. an orange county judge says he will be holding a hearing on a challenge to the governor's order later this month. also today, closer to home, santa cruz county is taking action to keep people away. all santa cruz beaches will be closed unless people are swimming, surfing or boating. during the hours the beaches are open, people will be allowed to walk, run or exercise. so as newsom said this week, you just can't linger. in the east bay, more roads are being closed off to cars to give people enough space to get exercise outside but stay socially distanced. we put together a map here to show you where this is happening. there are five miles of closures along six routes in several oakland neighborhoods. this is the third round of

closures during the stay-at-home order. the city plans to close more miles of streets next friday. take on a whole new meaning in the age of the coronavirus, better conditions for workers and the homeless are at the forefront really, as much as ever before, but one protest in san francisco took an unexpected turn with two homeless women attempting to move into a vacant home in the castro. as luz pena explains, it attracted crowds and the police. >> reporter: a san francisco firefighter and a dog walker both have one thing in common. they're homeless and this is their cry out for help. >> i'm a san francisco firefighter. i don't have any housing. >> reporter: locked inside this vacant home in the castro neighborhood. cooper arona and jessica gonzalez refused to come out while san francisco police asked a crowd of supporters and housing advocates to disperse. >> disperse immediately. >> reporter: an action organized by the group reclaim sf, inspired by the housing movement

we saw last year with oakland moms for housing. this group hoped to send a message to mayor london breed and san francisco supervisors. >> in 2018, san francisco voted to pass prop-c with 62% of the vote. london breed was supposed to open 4,000 units for housing. she's failed to implement prop-c and she has also failed to implement the emergency order that supervisors pass ed to put homeless people into hotels. >> reporter: as to how they found this empty house, reclaim sf found it on several real estate websites, where they noticed it had been vacant for three years. according to supervisor mandelman, there are 35,000 vacant hotel rooms that can be used to house those in need during this pandemic. >> there are practical challenges around doing that. it's not just a matter of getting a hotel room. it requires staffing. and so it's just not something that you can make happen overnight, but i actually believe that the mayor is trying. >> reporter: for now, his office is looking into different

solutions. as to the women inside the home, they were cited and exited the property peacefully after three hours. >> i don't know what could happen, but i took a gamble and it's better than nothing. >> reporter: this group is planning to take over other empty homes in this city. in san francisco, luz pena, abc 7 news. news sky 7 was over the state building in san francisco where dozens of people gathered to demand that the government use its power to cancel rent and mortgage payments. others joined a caravan that circled the building in their cars. in san francisco, most residential evictions are banned through july 22nd. and we saw protests that were, perhaps of all these protests, were the most intense yesterday where california state capital, dozens of people were arrested friday as thousands urged governor newsom to ease stay-at-home restrictions.

amazon has promised to add extra protections nationwide. the company says it's spending $800 million for masks, gloves, sanitizing spray, wipes and hand washing stations for employees. new this morning, san francisco supervisor shaman walton is calling on the city to increase its response to covid-19 to communities of color, saying they face a higher risk of infection due to economic disparities. he wants to create asymptomatic pop-up testing, protective equipment for workers and residents and placing all homeless people in susceptible areas into hotels. abc 7 news is dedicated to covering these very important issues closely this week. we are proud to hold a virtual hour-long town hall on race and coronavirus. panel of experts focused on how the african-american community is disproportionately affected by the virus, both in the number of cases and deaths and the large economic consequences.

welcome back. a major breakthrough in the fight to coronavirus thanks to several stanford doctors, the fda granted an emergency authorization for remdesivir to treat severely ill patients. the drug is made right here in the bay area. gilead and nih studies show that 30% of the patients who take the drug improve. kate larsen has the details. >> we want to thank all the collaborators that have brought remdesivir to this point. >> reporter: the ceo of gilead, daniel o'day in the oval office on friday, the bay's pharmaceutical company developed remdesivir, the first drug approved for emergency use. >> it works by preventing the virus from making more copies of

itself. >> reporter: aruna subramanina is the co-lead on gilead's remdesivir study. more patients can take advantage of the current drug supply. subramanian worked on aids clinical trials and explained why remdesivir wirks does not cure covid-19, is a critical milestone. >> our first drug was htc in hiv and then we added more drugs to give an antiviral cocktail that really worked very, very well. >> what they'll now do is use remdesivir as the new placebo or standard of care and fold in other drugs along the way. >> reporter: dr. neera ahuja also works at stanford. she was the primary investigator on a larger remdesivir study which showed patients taking the antiviral recovered faster, in 11 days versus 15 days without the drug. the mortality rate was lower,

t too, 6% with the placebo and 8% with remdesivir. >> what if we look at how we interfere with the immune response triggered by the virus? >> reporter: ahuja is concerned about the supply. she says the government will decide how it's distributed. >> we want to make sure nothing gets in the way of these patients getting the medicine. so we made a decision to donate about 1.5 million vials of remdesivir. >> reporter: before the fda mrnl approval, you could only get remdesivir through a trial. right now, doctors can prescribe the drug, but it can only be administered via iv to patients in the hospital. obviously, most patients will need medication at home. so more studies about the delivery mechanism are in the works. a pill would be ideal. anywaysal sprays are being discussed as well as self injections, the way you give an insulin shot, all of that being discussed for outpatient use. i'm kate larsen, abc 7 news. >> definitely some optimistic news there.

the grocery store is one place that's undergoing major changes to keep us safe. shortages and bare shelves still tend to pop up. michael finney shows us how to track down the products that you want. >> reporter: it's a new normal day at the grocery store. shoppers waiting six feet apart. faces covered in marks. carts getting cleaned after every use, all to stop the coronavirus attack. what about those groceries inside? can the virus live on those boxes and cans? what about shoppers handling the fresh fruits and veggies? >> i'm sure there are researchers who are looking at whether people coughing on fruits or vegetables, that the droplets carry a viable virus. >> reporter: we posed the question to james rogers, food safety expert at consumer reports. he says research is just beginning, but so far no known covid cases are linked to groceries. >> what i've seen from our

federal regulatory agencies, such as the fda, they have no evidence to suggest that people are picking up this virus from packaging and getting sick. >> reporter: many hands may touch these packages and that fresh produce even before it gets to the store. then it's stocked on shelves, picked up and put back by shoppers. so what if someone along the line was infected? >> we just have to wait for the research to be done and give us the data on this. >> reporter: however, he says, it seems unlikely that groceries could carry enough virus to make you sick. even if someone sneezed on that pile of fruit. >> you would have to have viable virus on the package. you would have to touch that virus, right where the virus is. there would have to be enough virus right there in that spot that you touched, then you would have to transfer it to your face or your mouth. it's not a likely scenario, so the risk is low. >> reporter: that's a relief. however, he says, it can't hurt to wipe down your groceries when you get home. he does it himself. >> my wife is making us wipe any item that comes in from the

outside down with disinfectant wipes. so i'm right there wiping it down with her. >> reporter: here's his advice. pour the contents into your own containers and throw out the package. scrub produce in plenty of cold water. cook foods at least 160 degrees to kill any viruses. although risk appears low, the virus is still a mystery. >> a big well of unknowness about this whole situation. >> reporter: i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. >> if you have any helpful tips or ideas, drop them on michael finney's facebook page or on our website, abc7news.com/7onyourside. heads up if you're making any essential flights in or out of the bay area next week, there are new changes starting next monday. you'll be required to wear a face mask at any bay area airport. these can include bandannas, homemade masks or nonmedical masks. this follows every airline requiring face coverings on

the course was jammed with families, and not a golf ball in sight. just plenty of beach towels, frisbees and even the occasional kite. >> it's surreal being here in the middle of the fairway, and you've got people playing soccer and frisbee and having picnics and all of that. >> reporter: the presidio has maintained a much-needed good neighbor policy. b and provided a safe and fun environment for cooped up families. in a few days, being safe will mean staying off the course itself. >> yeah, unfortunately walkers and flying golf balls don't mix too well. >> reporter: managing director says the course will be returning to its mission of providing recreation, being one of the few sports that is able to control social distancing. >> we're taking reservations and payment over the phone, so clubhouse will still be locked down. nobody will be allowed in the golf shop. people will come out after they've already paid, they'll check in with the starter. starter will get them off the first tees. >> reporter: he says crews hit the turf a little after 4:30 this morning, mowing lawns,

the peninsula. 69 redwood city. upper 50s in pacifica. the city will be cool with the gray skies with temperatures about three to five degrees cooler and as much as 10 degrees cooler here in the north bay. look at all the 60s. 66 petaluma. partly cloudy, 67 san leandro. upper 60s castro valley. head inland and you've got low 70s with partly cloudy conditions for concord and brentwood. overnight tonight, looking at the skies clearing out. we'll see some numbers drop into the mid 40s and that allows for a slightly cooler start to your sunday. a lot of sunshine, breezy. temperatures will be in and around the same range, but with the sun, it will feel warmer and then the warming trend for monday and tuesday as 80s arrive inland. we're not stopping there, though, into the end of the week. 80s around the bay. 90s inland. perhaps near 70 by the coast through the end of the upcoming workweek.

liz? >> you know i love that warm weather, lisa. looking forward to that. thanks. many senior citizens are feeling isolated during this covid-19 era. one petaluma organization is helping. "you're not alone" is a program that allows a senior to talk with someone every day. check it out. from localish. ♪ >> normally there's usually 45 to 50 seniors here every day, having lunch. it's so bizarre for us not to have this room full of people. and today would be bingo day. there would be not an empty seat. we are one of the few nonprofits that still provides a hot meal 365 days a year to homebound seniors. the meal prep happens here. they get packaged up. we have a team of volunteers who deliver those meals to our meals on wheels recipients and then on a normal day, that same meal is

then served at our senior cafe. ♪ >> we decided to ask our seniors not to come to the senior cafe. that they could come pick up their lunch. >> it's nice to get a hot lunch in your hand and walk away. >> we worked out the process so that those who need access to food are getting access to the food that they need. nutrition is very, very important but the connection with other individuals has always been the key to the program. >> it's nice to talk to the people. there's music and, you know, it helps us, too. >> the seniors said to us, but we're going to be alone. who am i going to talk to? >> it's lonely at home, you know. i have cats at home. >> basically on the fly we built a program called "you're not alone." this is an opportunity for other people in the community to reach

out and speak to a senior every day. >> hello, katie. >> hi! how are you? >> for so many of our seniors, being homebound or not being able to be connected with other people, it starts to build on this loneliness piece. and, you know, that leads to anxiety, and the anxiety leads to depression. and so we're hoping with our "you're not alone program" now county wide, we'll be able to touch community members every day, especially in these scary and anxiety filled times. >> what was my favorite childhood memory? let me see. >> my thing is always forward, never back. so "you're not alone program" it is not going to be a program that will end after this. we're going to expand it. >> you've added a fun part to my life. >> ah, thanks. >> that's just the nature of who petaluma people's services is and who our staff and all of our volunteers are, too.
