4:02 pm
park. >> if we see that behavior has not changed, we will close the park. and i want to be clear, this is the last thing i want to do. people need fresh air. they banlt to be out. -- they want to be out. >> the major says it's crucial we rely on facts, data, and our county health officers before we relax our shelter in place orders any further. >> mayor breed said she'll work with the governor on stage two, though she wasn't specific on how. have we heard from any other bay area counties about their plans? >> we are starting to hear some of their plans. napa county says its health officer will review the announcement and brief supervisors tomorrow. alameda county says it will discuss those plans with its regional partners. and contra costa county says it will trick to a tracking process on five key indicators to determine whether it is ready to relax a restriction. this is part of stepping into
4:03 pm
phase two. it's a measured way to get into it with real accountability to make sure we are ready to do so and gives the authority to do what's best in their specific area. >> all right, dan, thank you. we know you'll have more for us at 5:00. >> yes. now today some restrictions already relaxed, allowing businesses like real estate, nurseries and construction to resume. other businesses that did reopen today include car washes and golf courses. and as amy hollyfield shows us, this had people excited, even if they weren't exactly quite ready to be back in the swing of things. >> reporter: their swing may not be as strong as they'd like. but after almost two months of not playing, golfers say they don't care how they play, they're just happy to believe back out here again. >> feels great. beautiful day. it's been like two months since we've been able to play. >> reporter: are you a little rusty? >> very.
4:04 pm
but that's fine. score doesn't matter today. >> reporter: the prisidio golf course booked up almost immediately. >> we're booked up through next sunday. >> reporter: they're trying to make up for lost time. he was one to have first on the green this morning. when is your next tee time scheduled for? >> tomorrow. >> reporter: golfers say they feel safe being out here. saying it is easy to practice social distancing on the golf course. >> well, because there's a lot of space, obviously. and as long as people aren't touching common equipment, it's practical to do it. >> reporter: construction is another business that can start up today. also, car washes. but it looks like people and their cars are still sheltering in place. the manager at this car wash says they usually have a line of cars around the building. but not today. still, those who did come out were happy for this new
4:05 pm
opportunity. >> the employees here at tower car wash do have on masks and gloves. the manager says he hasn't been able to bring all of his employees back yet. he needs to wait for demand to grow. but he says at least this is a start. in san francisco, amy hollyfield, "abc7 news." >> we're learning more about a recent round of coronavirus testing in san francisco's mission district. in four days, nearly 3,000 people who live and work in that neighborhood were tested. of those, 62 people were positive for covid-19. more than half were men. and the majority were latino. 90% who tested positive said they were financially impacted by the pandemic. free testin is available for people living or working in san francisco, with some restrictions. the city will give you a test if you have at least one symptom or have been in close contact with somebody who has tested positive. any essential or frontline worker can get tested regardless of symptoms or exposure.
4:06 pm
you don't need medical insurance or a doctor's note. to see a map of test sites and learn, go to sf.gov. in the south bay, a proposal going before the santa clara county board of supervisors would increase the number of employees who work remotely, even after the covid-19 pandemic. chris nguyen is joining us live from san jose with more on the story. chris? >> reporter: hi, there. it's estimated more than 100,000 people in this county alone drive more than three hours to and from work on a normal day. this proposal aims to change that. in santa clara county, cindy chavez is laying the ground work for a visionary plan. >> let's be as creative as we can. let's not let all the suffering that we've had for the last, you know, eight weeks go to waste. >> reporter: after the covid-19 pandemic is over, chavez is
4:07 pm
looking for a commute free commitment from large silicon valley companies when and where possible. the proposal would start with 22,000 employees county wide. and if approved by the board, they would look at ways to support telecommuting. >> i didn't realize how dramatically it would reduce the pollutant levels. >> reporter: officials have seen a drop in black carbon aerosol, which are super fine particles suspended in the atmosphere. some days have seen a drop by as much as 75% compared to normal. >> supervisor chavez has provided us with a clue here as to maybe we can rethink the workplace environment and that could impact how clean the air is for us. >> reporter: the leadership group, a public organization representing more than 350 companies, supports the idea and says the more participation the business sector can have in formulating the plan, the more it will be embraced by others.
4:08 pm
>> this plan has to be implemented where we're not adding to the bottom line of government agencies, companies or family budgets, which will just be a redline during such a difficult economic time. >> you want to leave enough flexibility so businesses can do business in the way that's best for them. >> reporter: an opportunity to look at ways to be more productive and do our part to better the environment. >> we have a lot of businesses that understand this could dramatically increase the quality of life for the people who work for them. and make sure all of us have much more time to spend with our families. >> reporter: the proposal does fw before the county board of supervisors tomorrow. chris nguyen, "abc7 news." california has become the first state to borrow money from the federal government to pay unemployment benefits. the state received $348 million.

4:10 pm
4:11 pm
we touched on the stay at home orders and regulations, relaxing a bit, allowing
4:12 pm
businesses like real estate nurseries and construction to resume, with some restrictions. wayne freedman has more on a strange twist of fate that turned a disaster into a guarantee of work. >> reporter: when you see all the construction work going on in si noma county, it begs the question, how did they get going so fast after the governor allowed construction to resume? the answer may surprise you. >> we started the week that sonoma county got shut down. >> reporter: and walter kept working through the lockdown, because the county deemed this additional housing unit as essential. >> i've been lucky. >> reporter: in the rest of california, the coronavirus shutdown cost 11,600 construction jobs. not here, though. and you can thank, of all things, the tubbs fire. kerry has put up 130 homes since the tubbs fire roared through.
4:13 pm
this allowed the county essential for construction. >> think the first wee w reporter: they may have seen a short term drop of about 10%. they also tell us there was a lot of looking the other way. >> people have to pay their bills. and to this day, i still haven't received a stimulus check or a payment protection program, aid, package. so the bills don't stop coming. >> reporter: as to the future, that's another part of this virus no one can predict. until then, they will take it a board at a time and deal it with then. >> the implications will be years down the road. wayne freedman, "abc7 news." this is about the last thing we need right now, talking about wildfires. but wildfire preparedness week is on, just like every other year in california. in the middle of this pandemic, cal fire is reminding people get
4:14 pm
ready for fires. officials say this has been a busy year. the head of the office of emergency services says the memphis will not interfere with the state's firefighting efforts. >> even though we're responding to the coronavirus 24/7, we have the capacity and capability with all the folks behind me, the agencies and departments, with our local government partners, and the fire and rescue mutual aid system that we use regularly, to have the ability to move assets and resources in a timely fashion. >> cal fire says over the past five years, wildfires have burned 3.7 million acres, and kristen, we know it's going to get warmer here very quickly. >> it was kind of a chill yes morning, so let's check in with spencer. >> that's a good overview of the day. it started off chilly, but it's much warmer now.
4:15 pm
sunny skies in the bay area and stuck in this breezy pattern. call it windy. 28-mile-per-hour winds, blows across san francisco. breezy in other locations, as well. let's look at our 24-hour temperature change. you can see the warmup last week is under way. most locations are about four to nine degrees warmer right now than they were at this hour yesterday. so let's take a closer look at current temperature readings. 63 here? san francisco. 77 in redwood city and san jose. and here's the view from the east bay hills camera. 77 degrees right now at santa rosa and napa. 87 in fairfield. that's our warm spot. low 80s at cop cord and livermore. and mainy sunny days during the entire week ahead. summer-like sizzle will deliver later in the week. it will be toasty in some spots. mild to moderate weather for
4:16 pm
mother's day. here is the system that will be the dominant feature the entire week. a large area of high pressure, centered to the south, and it will continue warming us up into the end of the week and bring some hot weather to the central valley. here's a look at our overnight formation. so we'll have a mainly clear night overnight and a bright start to the day tomorrow. overnight low temperatures mainly in the upper forts to right around 50 degrees. tomorrow, 12-hour planner looks like this. maybe a patch of low clouds offshore, but skies bright, sunny, breezy at the coast by noon. and still breezy i should say at noon. and warming up mid afternoon hours into the low 80s inland. a closer look at high temperatures tomorrow will give you this. 64 degrees at half moon bay. san francisco, 82.
4:17 pm
9 89 in santa rosa. 79 in san jose. as we look ahead to wednesday, mid to upper 80s on saturday. upper 70s around the bayshoreline. thursday, a few low 90s inland. by friday, looking at mid 90s in our inland areas. so here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. you can see the steady pattern of warming and cools down on saturday. sunday will be sunny and mild, but no extreme temperatures are expected. so the weekends on a rather nice note. >> ah, how nice for the moms. and with the florists opening, we can get flowers as well, right, gentlemen? >> absolutely. absolutely. hint, hint, hint. if you're heading to costco, bring your masks with you. the warehouse giant is now requiring face coverings for all shoppers. and this is nationwide.
4:18 pm
the rule does not apply to children under 2, and those who are unable to wear a mask because of a medical condition. costco is limiting the amount of meat people can buy. only three beef, pork, or poultry products per member. starting today, the valley transportation authority is requiring face coverings for all riders on buses and light rail vehicles. social distancing guidelines apply. drivers and operators must wear coverings. airport is following the lead of sfo and oakland international and requiring face coverings now. it applies to employees and travelers. children under 6 and anyone with trouble breathing are exempt. coverings are required starting today for anyone traveling with delta, united, and jetblue. southwest and american airlines will make them mandatory next week.
4:19 pm
facemasks are just the start. travel has already changed and will continue to change over the next few months and years. chris mcguiness for sfgate.com joins us live. good to see you again, chris. >> thanks for having me on. >> so the mandating of masks began today. how far does that go in terms of making passengers feel safe and comfortable and inviting them back? >> yeah. i think the travel in particular, the airlines are doing everything they can to make the travel experience as clean and sanitized as possible. and having everyone wear masks as discomforting as that may be to a lot of people, it adds a modicum of safety to the whole experience. nobody really likes to do it. but it snow shows everybody ca. we're covered up and being safe. so i think we'll see a lot more of that.
4:20 pm
as a matter of fact, masks are now required, not only on airlines, and all three bay area airports before you enter the front door, you have to have your mask on. >> you published an article today that says buckle up your seat belts. you don't mean turbulence, so what do you mean? >> it's going to be a tough two years until we have a vaccine, and everybody has had that vaccine and we no longer have to worry about the coronavirus. as much as we all want to get out of our shelter in place and jump on planes and go on vacation, when it comes down to deciding whether or not we want to get on a crowded plane or stay in a crowded hotel or have breakfast at a hotel breakfst buffet, unless travel is the most essential nature, are going to say no to that. what i predict is going to happen this summer is a lot more people will jump in their car and drive to their vacation.
4:21 pm
just like we did as i said in the article in the 1970s. >> that makes sense. but let's talk about people who do need to fly. what is going to happen to prices, for airline tickets and hotels when you get to your destination? >> based on what we have seen, you would think that the airlines are going to try to discount themselves out of this. but that's really not going to happen this time, because what the airlines have done has reduced their capacity. so they have taken all these planes out of the sky and parked them in the desert and empty runways. a and they're not going to book middle seats. so planes that are still flying, they've take an third of those seats out. so just basic economics says when you reduce supply by that much, prices are going to have to go up for the airlines to stay in business. so i don't think that leisure travelers are going to jump for the higher fares, but people who
4:22 pm
have to fly, people with family emergencies will see flying, but not the general public for a while. >> and hotel price also be high for a while if >> for the same reasons, exactly. let's talk about long-term outlook. some of these thing also last for a long time. i read warren buffett dumped his airline stock. what do you think? >> what we're going to see over the long-term is a much smaller airline industry and much smaller travel industry until we get to the other side of this and don't have to worry about, you know, viruses and viruss that can kill you. no one likes to think about that when they're booking a vacation. until we get beyond that, there's no guarantee that another coronavirus may crop up in another two years. who knows? but as long as the threat is there, i think that a lot fewer people are going to take the chance to travel and those that do are going to be very, very
4:23 pm
careful about it. like i said, drive, visit relatives, have a good time in their own hometown. >> like you said, buckle your seat belts. in this case, we mean your car seat belts. chris, thanks for joining us. well, as if the pandemic wasn't enough. look out! here come the hornets. the murder
4:24 pm
and... l(music fades in). hey! -hi! ♪ ♪ ♪
4:25 pm
♪ there's a new threat in america coming from mother nature. an invasive species known as the asian giant hornet, or murder hornet. it's been spotted right here in the u.s. dion lim has the details. >> i've been a beekeeper 50 years, and i've been here 43. >> reporter: oliver frank makes a living tending to 150 private hives around the bay area, and is familiar with the damage disease and pesticides have played on these pollinators. >> the average bee loss every
4:26 pm
winter is 40% of the lives in the united states. i was affected by them in the mid '90s. almost all of my bees died and for several years in a row. >> reporter: now there's another threat, spotted in washington state. the world's largest hornet hailing from asia, dubbed the murder hornet for its massive two-inch size and a sting that kills around 50 people a year in japan. the insect's appetite for the honeybee could have dire consequences. >> there's the increased cost of beekeepers and food production. >> reporter: scientists say terms like "murder hornet" can be detrimental and incite fear. >> you look at the numbers, probably more are killed by the honeybee because they're more common. the reason people die from them is because they're allergic to them. >> reporter: the hornet's dubious nickname should serve to
4:27 pm
bring awareness and the need for education. >> we should be looking at this as a wakeup call. and we need a system to monitor them and cut it off before it tab lish establishes. >> reporter: oliver in the meantime will keep an eye on his hives and others, especially with more people finding new hobbies while sheltering in place. >> there's a lot of interest in going back to the land and raising your own food and being self-sufficient and protecting pollinators. >> reporter: in san mateo, dion lim, "abc7 news." >> whew! larry, i was reading that japanese honeybees have learned how to book the hornets to death by performing a vibrating ball around them. but american honeybees are not equipped to do that, so the hornets are headily to them.
4:28 pm
>> we need to get some japanese bees over here to teach our bees how to get this done. think about what 2020 has brought us. i mean, it's not locusts necessarily, but close enough in terms of where i stand. it's just one thing after another here. so hopefully we'll deal with all of these in order. >> it affects our food supply for sure. >> for sure. yeah. coming up, help for the homeless. housing some in hotels but now others are taking advantage of that. there's a new twist to this story. the change you may soon see on the streets. and may the fourth be with frontline workers. the special way a we are the thrivers. women with metastatic breast cancer standing in the struggle. hustling through the hurt. asking for science not sorrys. our time for more time - has come. living longer is possible

4:31 pm
the pandemic seems to have got exacerbated the homeless problem in san francisco. joining us right now to talk about that is phil. your column in "the chronicle" indicated one of the problems that was an issue before this pandemic, and that is the homeless coming into san francisco because they hear, hey, you're going to be treated better in san francisco than in other places, and providing hotel rooms for the homeless has only added to that per specepti. >> reporter: that's right. san francisco has long enjoyed a history of providing services. and that's only been amplified with the virus and the idea we were going to get the homeless, or at least those vulnerable off the streets and into hotel rooms. that got translated around the state on the grapevine. i was talking to paramedics and city workers who work with the group, and i went out there and took a look myself, and we're
4:32 pm
having an influx of people from all around the state. lake county, stockton. i said what brought you to san francisco? he said you get a hotel room if you get here. that's not necessarily the case. this is what london breed said about how the city will handle it. >> the hotel rooms we are providing are for people who were homeless in san francisco before this crisis. the rvs that we are providing are for the people of the bay view hunter's point community. and we are only going to serve during this crisis. and i want to be clear, because i've heard a lot of conversations, a lot of talks, and a lot of feedback from people out there on the front line where people are showing up in san francisco from other places, and asking where their hotel room is. that's a real problem for me, because, again, we already have a very challenging problem as it relates to homelessness as it
4:33 pm
is. and i want to get the message out loud and clear that the people who are already in our system of care, we have a coordinated entry system to support our homeless population. if you are not in that system and were not in that system as of the beginning of this pandemic, then we will not prioritize you. >> well, not everyone agrees with that. the san francisco board of supervisors has ordered the mayor to rent an additional 7,000 rooms, saying the homeless need to get off the treats for health reasons and just to get them off the streets. so i'm not sure, larry, if that message -- which message will get the louder play around the state, but the people will coming. >> well, whatever message is heard, we still have thousands more homeless than hotel rooms to accommodate them. so what is the city going to do to make sure the virus doesn't spread? because you still have many homeless encampments and you
4:34 pm
can't just ignore that. that is the situation. >> it is the situation, larry. what we're having is -- what happens is somebody comes to san francisco and they can't find a place to stay. some of the nonprofits are handing out these coleman tents. you see them all over now. the city is saying what we're going to do is sent up homeless encampments. we'll put showers and wash places in. this is, effect, sheltering in place. but here's an added twist. today, uc hastings college of law filed suit, saying that those tents that you see blocking the sidewalks are keeping people from getting where they're going, they're a hazard, and impede people in wheelchairs. so what are you going to do? you bring hope to the homeless.
4:35 pm
you get here, people get here, they get a tent to go out on the street. they set it up and people say you can't do that. we can't have that. they say let's put them in the hoteling. the mayor says we don't have the money for that. the problem is -- it's estimated 7 out of 10 of the new arrivals are from out of town. >> well, if there's one thing we know about the legal system, by the time that case is heard, we may be on to a whole new slew of problems past the pandemic. but let me just close with one more question. how long is the city preparing to provide these hotel rooms. and what happens when this is over? you're back on the street again and here is your tent. >> one mayor said they had them for a couple of months. they have options. and the second question is the much more vital one. what are you going to do with the tents and the people in the motels once this is over. you're still going to have a
4:36 pm
homeless and housing crisis, and it's not going to be easy toten this story is going to be around for a long time. >> and i know you'll be covering it. you can read phil's columns every wednesday and sunday in "the chronicle." a salute to health care workers came with a special twist in san mateo today. take a look. first responders and politicians had a little jedi help in honor of "star wars" day. congresswoman jackie speier got into the spirit, dressing as a princess from the "star wars" films. >> the hospital that sees the sickest patients in the county, the hospital that's been here for the poor and the oppressed for so long rngs , we wanted to sure they were recognized.
4:37 pm
>> reporter: some local families turned out, as well. one father said it was a nice opportunity to teach his kids arn about gratitude. now we want to show you an act of kindness to help out our health care workers. a donor in santa cruz gave this hospital $1 million to give the staff some extra bonuses. all workers will get an $800 bonus. the note read thank you for staying up to care for our community. abc 7 is partnering to help support local businesses being hit hard or being hit hard during this paemt. thousands of bay area stores and services are still open, offering to help with company needs. just go to abc7news.com to find resources. a new problem with all this protection, mavengs and your

all right, guys, ready with spencer and dan with us today? the governor announced today that the state will move into phase two of his reopening plan as early as friday. the second phase allows lower risk workplaces to resume operations with modifications. this includes clothing and sporting goods stores, with curbside pickup, dine-in eating at restaurants and offices, which were still previously -- phase two included. so, what do you guys think about the businesses that are being allowed to reopen friday? i read some people confused about how do you, for example,
4:41 pm
do bothiclothing only having curbside? spencer, do you have questions? >> it's going to be a change. i feel encouraged that things are going to start to reach some measure of normalcy. so that gives me a good feeling. i hope it encourages others who are just feeling shut in right now. but yeah, it's going to be a challenge to work that out. how do you shop for clothes curbside? i don't know. i think we'll find all of these partial openings, shall we call them, these measured openings challenging. but we'll wait and see how it goes. >> dan, what do you think? >> i agree. i think it's encouraging. i also have some trepidation, because i don't want to see us have a rebound, and have this virus come back and take one step forward, two steps back. so i'm a little concerned. it's interesting they made the dine-in restaurants part of phase two, they pushed that back, because it's all a measured approach to see what we
4:42 pm
can do safely. >> yeah. this is going to be step by step and it might be slower than in other states. we're weeks into the pandemic and only now seeing requirements for face coverings ramping up nationwide. we talked about it earlier. starting today, coverings are mandatory on delta, united and jetblue airlines. all buses and light rail systems in santa clara are also required. all costco stores nationwide also. i'm wondering what took so long? clearly, this is the direction we should have been heading in weeks ago. i know early on, not everybody had access to masks and you've got to do the whole homemade mask situation. and some of those are good, some not so good. if you take your cue what was happening in asia, we should have been on this earlier. nothing we can do about it now.
4:43 pm
but i think it's going to be common place. kristen, you've traveled throughout asia. the masks are quite common. >> yeah. it is common, simply during flu season, the wenter season. but also the rest of the year when you are in crowded places, such as subways or shopping malls. so i do wonder if this is something we might get used to, certainly during the winter months when we are more vulnerable. >> agreed. we all have our face coverings on. i wish we had done it earlier, because it's common sense. it certainly wouldn't hurt. now to another concern. it's getting hotter and all those masks are sometimes causing breakouts for people. reporter john gregory has this. >> reporter: facemasks are becoming a part of our daily life. essential protection from the coronavirus. but wearing them is taking a toll on our skin. >> it's all around my mouth and,
4:44 pm
