>> reporter: and the red cross is out here on scene. unclear, yet, how many people were evacuated or possibly displaced by this fire. as for the cause of this fire, firefighters say all of that is still under investigation. they're going to bring out some drones to see if they can get some aerial shots to, also, see where the fire is still burning inside. reporting live, abc 7 news, m boone. >> when that fire first broke out. we were also streaming a live camera of the fire. if you would like alerts like this in the future, just download the app store -- the free app in your app store. well, turning now to the coronavirus pandemic. a concerning record set, today, in our nation. we now stand at 12 million covid-19 cases, today. that is according to johns hopkins data. now, to give some perspective on

how quickly the case rate is rising, there were 1 million new cases reported in the u.s. in just six days. it took 96 days for our nation to log its first million cases. in california, the percentage of positive tests over a 14-day period is 5.4%. last weekend, that number was 4.2%. the state recorded more than 15,400 new cases, from yesterday. that appears to be the highest number of daily cases reported by any state, to date. a new, controversial effort to help slow the spread in california began just about an hour ago. all nonessential work, travel, and gatherings, are banned between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. it applies to all 41 counties in the purple tier, you see here, where the virus is widespread. that includes the counties of sonoma, napa, solano, contra costa, santa clara, and santa cruz. but some police and sheriff's

departments have said they will not, in order to prioritize responding to crime. officials say the curfew is to protect people's health as cases surge but it will certainly have an impact on already-struggling businesses. health and economy are two things we are focused on as we continue to build a better bay area. abc news reporter, luz pena, has a look, now, at the final hours of nightlife tonight in alameda county. >> reporter: as the 10:00 p.m. curfew loomed, this clock served as a reminder. >> i don't see how that can keep happening. you know, like a rolling blackout. it's going to keep -- it's going to happen and stop. happen and stop. >> reporter: a sentiment several alameda residents shared. jonathan jonathan gibbs made it just in time. >> one, i wanted to get here early so i can could get my dinner. but also, so i could watch and see what happens. >> the town started shutting

down on its own, earlier in the evening. nobody's open until midnight, nowadays. >> lee is >> if folks come a little earlier, they can have their fun before curfew. >> reporter: they opened in the middle of the pandemic and tonight they had a strict start time. >> but now, it's like, nope. when the show starts, the show starts because we have a hard deadline to get off stage. >> so, you finish at 9:30, on the dot? >> no later than 9:40. >> the focus is to keep people from social mixing and drinking. >> can't do it here. we basically just announce them out the door and we hustle. >> here's what will remain open. takeout still allowed after 10:00 p. 10:00 p. 10:00 p. 10:00 p.m. essential businesses can still stay open. the curfew will last until

december 21st. luz pena, abc 7 news. >> health experts say the county is likely to slip into the purple tier, soon. the city health director dr. grant colfax. >> our current case rate place us in the trajectory to be in the purple tier possibly as early as sunday. at that point, we will need to abide by thestate shelter-in-place order. and taking a live look at sfo, tonight, as travelers gear up for thachnks today, the busiest day of the holiday, though people have been advised to stay home during the pandemic. it shows tomorrow is likely to be half as busy as today. it expects next sunday will be the busiest day to return for

the start of the work week, measured by the number of flight searches on the app. >> we are in the busier part of the thanksgiving-travel week. however, compared to pre-pandemic, our -- our loads remain down about 75% from what we would normally be seeing, at this time. >> the airport is taking a number of precautions to protect passengers against the coronavirus, including plexiglass screens, baggage wipes, and hand-sanitizer dispensers. despite the pandemic, this was the scene at chicago o'hare international airport, yesterday. illinois officials have imposed tighter restrictions on businesses and officials across the country have been urging people to limit their family-holiday gatherings or postpone them, altogether. in phoenix, a large crowd of passengers wait the to board their flights. most appeared to be wearing masks. so how much do you know about covid-19 safety during the

holidays? we have a covid-19 risk calculator explaining the safest and most dangerous things to do this holiday season. you can find it at abc 7 news dot com. over in the south bay, a drive-through food-distribution event helped hundreds of families put food on the table tonight. expected to serve 1,200 people during today's event in san jose. they say they are now serving more people than ever, before. >> the food supplies are coming in -- coming in pretty good. the problem is is that we need more of them than we ever have, before. we are serving about 500,000 people every month. that's double what we were prior to the pandemic. so, that just means we need more. >> second harvest says many of the people who came to today's giveaway are seeking help for the very first time. they have run out of savings or lost their jobs due to the pandemic. california's prison system is beginning to offer virtual visits for inmates. in-person visits have been cancelled statewide during the

>> you're a black person in a neighborhood and you're acting like one. why don't you act like a white person in a white neighborhood? >> the jones family say they want this to be a lesson that this cannot be tolerated. all, because of a text that was sent to the wrong person. this year, reporter brianna whitney explains. the celebration, though, is bittersweet. >> dear, heavenly father, thank you for bringing everyone here together safely. >> reporter: their tradition lives in the hearts of so many around the world. thanksgiving just wouldn't be the same without wanda and jamal. >> i didn't want to miss thanksgiving with jamal. >> reporter: it was five years ago that grandma wanda thought she was texting her real grandson, but accidentally texted teenager, jamal, instead.

bond, year after year. >> it really is, dion, to see them continue that nice tradition now for four years. so it's nice to get an update every holiday season. here, we're talking about the holiday week ahead and it's really quiet. we are talking a dry pattern setting up and a lot of sunshine the next seven tonight, it's getting cold out there. so i will take you outside. a live look from our exploratorium camera right now showing you mainly clear skies. temperatures are quickly falling into the 40s in a lot of cities right now. san ramon and san mateo coming in at 42 degrees. live doppler 7 along with satellite, we had high clouds streaming in from the south. those are pushing off to the norgt north as we speak. so it's really quiet tonight and will remain quiet for the next 24 hours. really calm winds out there.

that's a recipe for us to get pretty clilhilly overnight. 36 in napa. 39. cold in the south bay to tomorrow. 45 the low in san francisco. so the 12-hour day planner, tomorrow. again, we will have some high clouds moving in, again. but it's a mostly cloudy day. it's a dry pattern, again, with temperatures topping upper 50s to mid-60s. so, a closer look at your highs on your sunday. it's a little bit cooler, tomorrow, than we were today. hit about 60 degrees in the city tomorrow. 66, though, in concord, after that chilly start first thing in the morning. 63 in san jose. 64 in santa rosa. and high of 57 for half-moon bay. over the next seven days, we look for any rainfall across the state of california. and it looks like the storm track over the next several days

is going to stay pretty far to the north and i am talking on the border of oregon and washington. so, high pressure really going to be in control for the week ahead. as you can see, across the entire golden state, we're going to remain pretty dry. with any rainfall, likely, only on the border of california and oregon. so, what that means for your thanksgiving holiday as we fast forward into thursday. the 12-hour day planner, we'll likely start out with temperatures in the 40s. once it gets sunny out there, temperatures will respond pretty nicely. so we will get up to the upper 50s, mid-60s. but if you are trying to have your meal outside, the warmest part of the day on thanksgiving is between noon and, say, 3:00 p.m. so you have about a three-hour window with those temperatures. by 7:00 p.m., we're already in the 40s in some spots. planning the next seven days for you, tomorrow, it's a chilly morning with a lot of cities starting out in the 30s. it's a dry pattern for much of

the week ahead. in fact, upper 50s to mid-60s. and just contined sunshine and mild weather, even one week from today, next saturday. >> we grateful for it. drew, thanks. still ahead on nbc 7 news at 11:00. some good news from dr. fauci. he said santa is if there's anything that this year has taught us, it's the things that matter: family. health. that's it. we found help at covered california. now we have a plan we can afford. enroll now at coveredca.com

johns hopkins university. 178,000 people tested positive for the virus, yesterday. 1,500 lost their lives. and 83,000 people are in the hospital. now, people are lining up to get tested before thanksgiving, to be able to spend it with loved ones. but the cdc is urging everyone to avoid travel for the holiday, and to celebrate with their immediate household, only. >> we definitely do not want to see thanksgiving, family get-togethers, be christmas-family funerals. >> johnson & johnson has begun the final stage of its trials for a vaccine. and the fda says a committee will meet on december 10th to discuss the pfizer vaccine, which says its shot is 95% effective. the food and drug administration is giving the green light to regeneron's antibody cocktail for some patients who test positive for covid-19. the fda says it is okay to give

so, can they trust touching those keypads? jim is an atm manufacturer, which moved its headquarters to texas. it created v scan, an that sanitizes keypads. >> instilling confidence. in making sure that person at the atm knows that it's sanitized. >> sales executive for gen mega, he says v scan can kill up to 90% of bacteria and viruses using uvc light. he shows us how it works. first, insert your card. enter your p.i.n. and conduct your transaction. then, v scan disinfects the keypad, in a single pass. director of chemical engineering at the university of southern california. >> uvc kills bacteria in viruses by disrupting the fundamental

told 7 on your side in an e-mail, manufacturers are responsible for producing products that do not emit hazardous and unnecessary radiation. dunn says the manufacturer is following fda guidelines and is awaiting approval. professor armani thinks v scan can be effective but its efficiency should be monitored, over time. >> the challenge with this is that over time, any light bulb will begin to degrade. but if the uv-c system becomes less effective, suddenly, your virus particles are still living. >> research is still being done to see if uv-c can eradicate ere covid-19. many customers allowed to use an app at the atm and that cuts down even more on the touching. michael finney, 7 on your side. >> still ahead. abc 7 news at
