building a better bay area for a safe and secure future. this is abc 7 news. covid curfew now in effect, affecting nearly every corner of california and the bay area as san francisco may be right behind. questions still linger over whether these silent streets do enough to stop the spread of covid-19. good morning, everyone, it's sunday, november 22. i'm liz kreutz. thank you for joining us. we'll get right to those curfews taking effect overnight and new holiday travel concerns this morning. but first, as always, let's start with a quick look at the weather with meteorologist lisa argen. >> liz, good morning to you. if you were with us early this morning, temperatures dropped below freezing. we're beginning to recover. if you're just weiaking up, it might be hard to believe.

it's a chilly sky out there. it's 47 downtown, balmy 53 in oakland. as we look at the north bay, mt. tam. inland valleys, upper 30s from santa rosa to novato. the fog has cleared. low 40s, you're below freezing in danville this morning. it is 46 in concord. it has certainly been cooler in our east bay and along the coast this morning. a brilliant golden gate bridge there. numbers will climb with the sunshine through the 60s. clouds increase, so low to mid-60s today but getting breezy at the coast and the rest of the week, the holiday, stay tuned, i'll have that for you coming up. we begin with the worsening coronavirus emergency. the state and country setting new case records by the day. the u.s. is now past 12 million covid-19 cases, according to johns hopkins' data. to get some perspective on how quickly that rate is rising, there were 1 million new cases

reported in the u.s. in just six days. the very first million cases took 96. here in california, the percentage of positive tests in a four-day period was 5.4%. last weekend, the number was 4.2%. 15,400 new cases recorded in the cases since friday, the highest number of cases in any state since the outbreak began. it's what state leaders were citing for this curfew now in effect for the most restrictive purple counties. all nonessential work, travel, and gatherings are now banned between 10:00 and 5:00 a.m. here in the bay area, it applies to the counties you see here on this map which is every county besides san francisco, san mateo, and marin counties, although san francisco could be close behind. we'll have more on that in a bit. meantime, police and sheriff's departments have said they will not enforce the curfew 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, particularly restaurants. health and the economy are two things that we are focused on as we work to build a better bay area. abc 7 news reporter luz pena gives you a look at how some spent the final hours of night life in alameda county. >> reporter: at the 10:00 p.m. curfew, this clock served as a reminder. >> i don't see how it can keep happening, like a rolling blackout, it's going to happen and stop and happen and stop. >> reporter: a sentiment that several alameda residents shared. jonathan gibbs made it to dinner just in time. >> i decided to come out for two reasons. one, i wanted to get here early so i could get my dinner. also just so i could watch and see what's going to happen. >> reporter: business owners say closing early is what they've been doing even before the curfew. >> the town started shutting down on its own earlier in the

evening. nobody is open until midnight nowadays. >> reporter: he's opposing the curfew brings an earlier clientele. >> if folks can spread out in time and come in earlier, they can have their fun and get home before curfew. >> reporter: the alameda comedy club opened in the middle of the pandemic. tonight they had a strict start time. >> now it's like, when the show starts, the show starts, because we have a hard deadline to get offstage. >> reporter: so you finish at 9:30 on the dot? >> no later than 9:40. >> reporter: health officials say they want to keep people from drinking and socially mixing. >> we announce them out the door. we hustle. >> reporter: take-out is still allowed after 10:00 a.m. essential businesses can still remain open. and if you want to go for a routine walk, you can still do that. the curfew will last until december 21. in alameda, luz pena, abc 7 news. >> while san francisco is

currently exempt from the curfew as of right now, health experts say the county is likely to slip into the purple tier very soon, even as early as today. >> our current case rates place us on a trajectory to be in the purple tier potentially as early as sunday. at that point, we will need to abide by the state's shelter-in-place order. >> the city's health director, dr. grant colfax there, gave that assessment on friday. just three weeks ago, san francisco was in the state's least restrictive yellow tier. we saw some people breaking curfew the first night it went into effect. these protesters organized a demonstration in huntington beach past 10:00 p.m. to boycott governor newsom's order. one person in the crowd explained their frustration. >> i think we've tried a lot of the tools through the last nine months and none have really worked, if you will, and this one certainly is less restrictive than the other ones, which leads me to believe that

it's probably not going to do much. >> the orange county sheriff's office as well as other southern california law enforcement has said they would not be enforcing the curfew but they are aware and were planning for last night's unlawful assembly. no word on any citations. happening now, though, a live look outside at sfo this morning. more people are expected to fill that airport today, taking off for thanksgiving. even though people have been advised to stay home during the pandemic, we checked flight data that pinpointed saturday, yesterday, as the busiest day for flying this year. abc 7 news saw a steady stream of travelers moving through security, going through the security gates and going against new cdc guidance to stay home. the travel app hopper shows today is likely to be half as busy. it expects sunday will be the busiest day for the return of the start of the workweek.

silicon valley to provide meals for hundreds of households in san jose. second harvest says they're now serving more people than ever but it does come at a cost. >> the food supplies are coming in pretty good. the problem is that we need more of them than we ever have before. we're 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 the giveaway are seeking help for the first time. they have run out of savings or lost their jobs due to the pandemic. and you can give where you live and help those in need this holiday season. we now have a list of food banks that can use donations or volunteers if you're in the giving spirit, in partnership with feeding america. it's on our home page right now, abc7news.com. lisa, you were so right, it was so cold. >> i know, but we're going to see a lot of sunshine to start the day, even the middle of the day. the north bay will be the recipient of some clouds.
