that the chp may be seeking right now? >> we got here about 25 minutes ago, this was the only vehicle that i could identify as being involved. as far as a suspect vehicle, or another vehicle that would have been involved, i'm not sure at this point. but there was a woman being treated in the car and then loaded into an ambulance. >> we have heard initial reports, maybe four people shot. is that what you're hearing as well? and know anything about the of ? >> i heard the same thing. i only saw two victims being loaded. at this point i haven't seen any other ambulances. >> i see the westbound direction seems to be unaffected other than a little slow. but eastbound looks completely shut down rightnow. so what's happening with all those cars and what should drivers do if they're headed to that area?

>> reporter: so eastbound 580 there, they are taking the traffic off at golf links. so all these cars are backed up and some of them trying to reverse toward golf links in the westbound direction to get off there. but traffic is back, as far as i can see, about to fruit veil. yes, the westbound direction is affected slightly. >> all right. in oakland right now, an investigation into a shooting involving multiple victims. we'll get more on this later. in the meantime, the covid surge in california. >> lies that wereapmi won't be celebrating with their loved ones. please donal take your guard do you mean.

>> today governor newsom giving his best pitch to keep people at home this weekend. it means official orders to close up shop for a few bay area counties and a different look this independence day. >> i want to get you to the latest trends. our graph compiling data coronavirus cases in the bay area. basically what it shows, cases are steadily increasing and both the bay area and the state of california are shattering case by case records. >> 19 counties must immediately close indoor restaurant dining, bars and windries and other business like zoos and museums. it means you can say goodbye to your fourth of july trip to a state beach. we want to get right to abc news anchor liz who is tracking all

this. >> yeah. a busy day. a lot of updates when it comes to the fight against covid-19. first, nearly 5,900 cases were reported yesterday in california with 110 deaths. now as you mentioned, 19 counties with surging outbreaks have been ordered to close indoor operations at restaurants, movie theaters, family entertainment stories, zoos and museums for at least three weeks. a full closure of bars and breweries. >> this doesn't mean restaurants shut down. it means we're trying to take as many activities ago we can, these mixed activities. these concentrated activities and move them outdoors which is a way of mitigating the spread of this virus. not dissimilar to what you've seen in other states across the country. this is coming from our health directors and from evidence that has been grounded and provided

to us all across the world. not just across the nation as it relates to the unique aspect of being inside, air flow issues and increased transmission of covid-19. that includes contra costa, solano, also sacramento, los angeles, and orange counties. the 19 counties combined make up nearly 75% of the state's population. now, as for beach closures, the parking facilities at state beaches and the bay area in southern california as well will be closed for this holiday weekend. in terms of end forcing the health orders, the state says it will send teams to noncompliant work places. >> we have a responsibility at the same time to go after people thumbing their nose that are particularly being aggressive, reticent to do anything, to

protect you as a customer, of a bar, a restaurant or any other facility, but are not even protecting their workers. and i think this is an incredibly important point. this is not just talking about mask compliance. this is talking about come pligs on health and safety in our meat packing facilities. one should not have to put their life at risk to go to work as an essential worker. >> counties have the right to choose not to enforce regulations but he says the state has the right to withhold in the state budget. >> the governor is trying to use some financial coercion for those who don't go along with what he wants. on another topic, we've seen testing sites very busy but now we have reports that the state won't if you understand new testing sites. what's going on with that in.

>> essentially the state is pulling out of counties. they are saying it is not wise to maintain spending where resources are not being used. but this testing site in hayward, you can see video there. it has been inundated with people. and more staff was brought in to handle the high demand. it was scheduled to close at the end of the month but it is working to extend testing for as long as needed. i want to point out, there was a technical difficulty with reporters that were not able to ask the governor any questions at this press conference. hopefully there is another chance this week. >> a lot of russ dealing with technical difficulties this week. so i totally understand that. as many of us working from home can relate. for a full inactive map -- a full interactive ma'am. everybody has different rules. it is hard to keep track of.

just want to see some games. everybody has their fingers crossed. we saw it with major league soccer. they have some players in dallas testing positive. maiming league baseball has no bubble so everybody is on their own to do what they want to do and that's like warning, warning. based on what we're seeing around the country. >> i totally agree with you. it will be interesting to see how it plays out. and then the nfl will come after that and they're not in a bubble either. >> one thing is for sure. kristen and spencer are both huge baseball fans. kristen wants to see her giants play! >> yes, yes. i love it. it is like the whole season is the equivalent of starting a runner on second base. go! no time to waste. >> exactly. >> why don't we talk weather while we're here. a quick look. we'll have widespread areas of

fog developing. it will be around for the morning commute. tomorrow's highs, 60s at the coast. mid 80s inland. a bit cooler than today. it will warm up nicely. rather sharply on saturday. a warm fourth of july weekend with temperatures gradually tapering off. a lot of the small town events going on. now that it has been brought to my wandering attention that there will be no fireworks anywhere. not legal ones. i'm not giving you a fireworks forecast. >> star gazing forecast. thanks. coming up after the break, the coronavirus coloring book. a very close look at what these teens came

about coronavirus. all of us even medical experts continue to learn more about coronavirus. a covid-19 coloring book was created that teaches kids all about the virus covering everything from hand washing to the importance of face coverings and social distancing. and even comes with a mask. the coloring book is an effort to make the pandemic a little less scary a occupied. >> it's kind of hard to just find something to do that is entertaining especially when you're stuck at home all the time. we wanted to give them a way they can understand it and have some form of entertainment. >> this book was a project for an ecom class. the students initially thought they'd sell maybe 25 coloring books and ended up selling hundreds. i have a feeling it is going to be thousands before long. thank you for joining us for abc 7 news at 4:00. ab
