most restrictive purple tier. the majority of the counties are in the purple tier, so is most of the bay area. only three local counties, that's san francisco, san mateo and marin are in the red tier. santa clara county has the most cases of any bay area county, more than 31,000 the last time we checked and today the county set a record for the highest number of new cases ever. taking care of our health is one of the ways that we can work together on building a better bay area and why chris nguyen went to hear what santa clara county's lead eer had to say abt this. >> reporter: as the bay area preparing for a thanksgiving unlike any other, santa clara county has another urgent warning for the public. >> do not have gatherings and do not travel. period. >> reporter: today, 512 new cases of covid-19 were reported county wide. a new record for the highest daily case count since the start of the pandemic.

going to be planning funerals. >> the latino community makes up 26% of the county's population. many of whom are front line workers but they represent 59% of the county's coronavirus cases. we learn today about an encouraging development in the fight against covid-19 in sonoma county. >> the good news is that our adjusted rate of daily cases per 100,000 population dropped significantly. it's now down to 8.7 as of this week and as a reminder just a week ago, it was at 15. >> the county's testing positivity rate is isolation hotel rooms for people with covid and it keeps the county in the purple most restrictive tier. in marin county, there is temporary closing a restaurant after an employee tested positive for coronavirus.
