5:09 am
cases of covid-19, 239 required hospitalization and 71 had to be treated in the icu. the new cases and n hospitalizations have set new records for highest single-day counts since the start of the pandemic. santa clara county's public health director issued new restrictions to reduce the risk. >> many people living in our county have been making extraordinary sacrifices over the last many months since february, and now we are asking everyone to do more, even more. >> health care workers traveling to santa clara county to help with patients or receive treatment themselves will be exempt from the new travel quarantine rule. health officers from alameda, contra costa, marin, san francisco and the city of berkeley did put out a joint statement supporting santa clara county's action. dr. nicholas moss wrote "what we

5:21 am
so here are the high clouds that will move in say 4:00 or 5:00 today and that brings some partly cloudy skies, but overall it's a sunny day and as we get into monday, another nice afternoon, and looking at temperatures to be fairly average if not a few degrees above average. the bigger picture shows the system on monday moving to the north, maybe bringing us a few high clouds and as the systems continue to move up and over the ridge, we will get some winds to set up and keep things rather quiet, but stirred up in the upper levels of the atmosphere. so looking at highs today in the 60s and n san jose. sunny and 65 in santa clara. so it should be a nice day here in the south bay. out to get some sun, maybe head to the coast, san mateo 64, looking at 63 downtown, upper 50s closer to the shoreline and up in the north bay, looking at another day with mid to upper 60s from sonoma to santa rosa. on the east bay here, nice afternoon for you in union city,
