up with this. >> we're considering full disclosure, a little preview, the notion of a curfew. >> reporter: nothing official has been announced yesterday, marin county public health director told kristen sze he's not surprised. >> we're aware this is on the table. it's something that's more co common back east in massachusetts, virginia. >> reporter: massachusetts statewide curfew requires residents stay home between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. daily unless going to work and most businesses, restaurants and bars must close by 9:30. george rutherford imagines that's what newsom is consideri considering. >> it's a lockdown less detrimental to business because they can be open some parts of the day. >> reporter: the point rutherford says is to limit late night socializing where alcohol is often involved and people might let guards down. countries and cities in europe
6:02 pm
have tried it. >> in europe it's closing bars. it's a big push. the closing between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. where i live in alameda county, i don't see a lot open during those hours. >> reporter: which brings us to the big question, how effective are curfews? he says they do appear to have some impact but the victerdict out on how much. >> i don't know if it makes a major impact. >> reporter: he hopes california's restrictions with 94% of the population in a purple tier county will be enough to slow the spread. >> i'd say let's hold in reserve and look at the numbers from a from now and make a decision at that point in time. >> reporter: liz kreutz, abc 7 news. >> for now a curfew is just talk but they exist in some cities and states. we asked dr. patel about the possibility of one being enacted. >> this comes down to behavior. a curfew, i'm not sure it's
6:03 pm
legally mandated like the 14-day travel restriction. that's something we need to take seriously and hopefully, by hearing that, we realize this winter could be really bad if we're not careful. >> yesterday governor newsom said he's looking at places that have curfews and how it worked. restaurants, bars and retail stores must close from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. beginning friday. >> as we inch closer to thanksgiving, there are mixed messages about travel, mainly, can you test for covid-19 and then leave the bay area? a brks krrbc 7 news reporter me woodro went in search of answers. >> reporter: the messages from san francisco health officials is clear, stay home this thanksgiving. >> please, do not use testing to determine whether you can travel or not. we have seen the repeated failure, the repeated failure of this type of testing strategy across the country. >> reporter: but while san francisco sounds that message
6:04 pm
loudly, some counties are suggesting otherwise. contra costa county held a press conference called testing for turkey advising residents to test for covid-19 if they gather with family members. dr. george rutherford is a professor at uc san francisco. >> it's both. you know, so dr. colfax is 100% correct. this is the most current public health advice, which is just don't do it. stay inside your family. no amount of testing is going to absolutely guarantee you're going to be safe. >> reporter: that being said. >> however, if they're not going to do that and we're into kind of harm reduction. >> reporter: it seems health officials across the bay area recognize they can tell you to stay home but not everyone will. like contra costa county, alameda, santa clara, marin, solano and sonoma say avoid traveling for the holidays but if you do, get tested prior and
6:05 pm
after and they recommend quarantining for 14 days if you're exposed to covid-19. finding a test before thanksgiving can be challenging. san francisco city test sf shows no available appointments at embarcadero of pier 30. according to the san francisco covid command center, city test sf limits the number of appointments available in advance to ensure essential workers with symptoms and have been exposed are prioritized for testing. most counties agree the safest way to celebrate this holiday season is virtually or with members of your household. melanie woodro, abc 7 news. >> health officials are urging people not to gather, they are acknowledging some people may likely ignore that advice. abc 7 leslie brinkley looked into the testing alternatives in contra costa county. >> everybody here is waiting for coming to take their covid test?
6:06 pm
>> reporter: a swab before thanksgiving and a swab testify thanksgiving, that's the holiday alternative to staying home that contra costa health officials are dishing out. >> the safest thing is to not gather outside your household. we know, though, that some people will not follow that. >> reporter: so they rolled out a testing for turkey option. this family from pittsburgh was the first to take advantage of it. a daughter home from college, her grandfather lost to covid just three months ago but they're going ahead with the meal. >> it's only two households. probably around maximum ten people. we still want to be safe. >> anyone who lives or works in contra costa county can get access to no cost, convenient covid-19 testing at any of our 13 community testing sites. >>. >> reporter: results back in less than two days and for the moment, there are plenty of appointments. relatives coming from out of state cannot get tested here.
