the entire bay area with the exception of one county now in the most restricted tier, the purple tier, this after a dramatic surge in covid-19 cases forcing the bay's most populous county to take drastic action while others are having to roll back. good morning everybody. it's sunday, november 29th. i'm liz kreutz. we have much more to get to on the latest restrictions throughout the bay area. many starting today, but first, let's quickly get a look at the forecast with meteorologist lisa argen. hey, lisa. >> hey liz, good morning to you. hi, everyone. another chilly start out there with mainly 30s and 40s but the biggest change is by the delta, where numbers have dropped into the upper 20s. into the east bay, 38 in oakland. it's 35 in castro valley with union city a little chilly, 36 for you, fremont good morning, 34 degrees and as we get closer to the bay you're in the upper 40s in the city. 46 in pacifica, freezing in nova

toy. towards coyte tower sunshine through the day, warming us up into the low 60s for most. noontime upper 50s at the shoreline. coming into the lower 60s by 4:00 and extra cloud cover and the first week of december we'll talk about in a few minutes. liz? >> lisa, thank you. santa clara county is imposing a mandatory quarantine for some travelers. the county also placing a temporary ban on contact sports like football, which includes pro and college teams. it's been in the purple tier which places other requirements on businesses and now both san francisco and san mateo counties are also in the purple tier due to the surge in cases there. marin county is now the only bay area county not purple. they have remained in red. the other county you see there on the map in red is amador east of sacramento in the sierra foot zwrn hills so a lot of

purple around us. across the state, cases are up but many counties are behind in reporting due to the thanksgiving holiday. there were nearly 12,000 new cases reported through friday and close to 7,000 people are hospitalized with the virus, that is triple the number from just one month ago. what appeared to be inevitable finally happened for san francisco, the city is moving back to the most restrictive purple tier and that means lots of businesses will have to stop indoor operations, starting today. abc 7 news reporter luz pena shows us what's changing. >> reporter: after weeks of holding on by a thread, san francisco's officially in the purple tier. mayor london breed describing the spike in covid-19 cases as "the most aggressive surge san francisco has seen to date," pointing to an average of 118 new cases per day, compared to 73 a day in the first week of november. >> it's a further setback and

reminder that this pandemic is going to be a long haul for san francisco. >> reporter: starting sunday at noon, san francisco will roll back or reduce capacity for indoor businesses. retail stores including shopping centers will have to reduce capacity from 50% capacity to 25%. cynthia hung enjoyed the last hours of shopping before the new restrictions. >> i think it's really unfortunate that that's the case. >> reporter: houses of worship must close for indoor gatherings but outdoor services are still allowed. the san francisco archdiocese sent out a statement saying "the government is demoting worship to the same status as watching a movie, nonessential, but worship is both a natural and constitutional right." indoor gyms must close for indoor operations but one on one training may continue indoors with specific ventilations within the facility. >> it's very disappointing. at the same time, the safety of our visitors and our staff is

the top priority. >> reporter: thomas campbell, the ceo of the fine arts museums of san francisco, is having to speak to his staff about contacting thousands to postpone their visit, because indoor museums as well as aquariums and zoos will also have to close. >> 20,000 advance tickets, but you know, people have bought their tickets online, we have their emails, so it's logistically it takes time, but obviously we'll honor all of those. >> reporter: starting monday, san francisco will also have to follow the purple tier's curfew which means that gatherings and nonessential businesses will not be allowed between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. in san francisco, luz pena, abc 7 news. >> abc 7 also reached out to the san francisco police department to see how they would be enforcing the limited stay-at-home order and curfew. according to the department, they have four steps of progressive enforcement. first they educate individuals and businesses.

next, they ask for voluntary compliance. third, they warn violators that could be cited for non-compliance, and finally if that doesn't work, they issue a citation. happening today -- a critical push to get covid-19 tests for some of san francisco's most vulnerable communities. three pop-up sites are going up this morning in four different neighborhoods on behalf of ucsf volunteers and the latino task force. for the next three days in the excelsior doctorate crocker amazon at mendell plaza, the tenderloin at 100 golden gate and here at the mission and 24th street b.a.r.t., all hoping to issue 500 tests a day for the area's predominantly minority residents which are suffering from the virus at far higher rates. it was a fear of hospitals being overwhelmed by new covid cases. that really prompted santa clara county to announce aggressive

new measures there. they will remain in effect until at least december 21st, so right before christmas. abc 7 news reporter matt boone has reaction. >> reporter: now santa clara county is targeting travel even more with that new mandatory quarantine for some travelers. on this quiet post-thanksgiving travel day, issila oliver and her family were waiting for the ride back home. >> we went skiing at park city and it was really nice. >> reporter: before you judge her, she says it's not been an easy few months. her whole family contracted covid-19 this summer. >> it was very challenging. it was pretty mild for most of us, but my husband went through quite a few weeks being sick in bed. >> reporter: so she thinks a quarantine is a good idea, though college student melissa chen, who just returned from l.a., was more skeptical. >> i think expecting people to stay at home for 14 days is quite excessive. i understand the logic behind

it, but i feel like it's just a little impractical, a little too long. >> reporter: the county is limiting retail spaces to 10% occupancy and suspending professional, collegiate and youth sports. >> that means for those teams, they will not be able to play games or have practices where they have direct contact. >> reporter: in a statement, the 49ers told abc 7 "we are ware of the santa clara county public health department's emergency directive. we are working with the nfl and our partners on operational plans and will share details as they are confirmed." niners fan edward parker says he gets it. >> i think they doing it for the safety, though, for everybody in the world. >> reporter: he just hopes everyone else follows along. >> everybody thinks this covid is a joke. they plan it like it's a joke because they sitting out there, still doing what they doing and having they fun and not taking it serious. >> reporter: in san jose, matt boone, abc 7 news. >> and the other pro sports

>> and the other pro sports team these new restrictions could impact is the san jose sharks. the sharks are not in season currently but had been aiming to start training camp soon in san jose. we reached out to the sharks for comment, but have not heard back. at the collegiate level, it could disrupt the season for the undefeated san jose state spartans football team. santa clara university is also in the middle of their men's basketball season. stanford has football and basketball teams plays now. khan stoord stanford university wrote in a statement "stanford athletics it s aware of today's announcement by santa clara county and remains in close communication with university and county officials that the time on appropriate next steps." the other universities have not yet commented. santa clara county health officials say a primary reason for this move is the rising rate of hospitalizations. take a look at the numbers. yesterday there were 760 new 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 see in the south bay we may soon see across the whole bay area.

these actions will help slow the spread of covid in santa clara county and beyond." and covid cases are surging in san mateo county, that's why it will move to the state's most restrictive purple tier tomorrow night. abc 7 news reporter cornell barnard reports it comes at a time when many retailers are struggling. >> you need help with anything? >> a side of ranch dressing. >> i'll bring it over to your table. >> reporter: giovanni was managing a busy lunch crowd. news that san mateo county will move to the purple tier on monday means no more indoor dining. >> it's going to be hard for the restaurants to survive on this season, it's going to be cold and we are waiting for the rain. >> this is the toughest since we opened. >> reporter: anki owns loft, and knows retail shops like hers must further reduce the number of ku customers aloud inside at the star of the holiday shopping season. >> not happy but we hope this will go away soon. right?

>> reporter: those who rely on a paycheck from their retail jobs worry about what happens next. >> what is not a pleasant thought if i have to think hours are going to get cut and so on and so forth to obviously counter something that is equally important. >> reporter: shopping malls here in san bruno also need to reduce capacity. indoor movie theaters must close and a 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. curfew starts county wide monday. >> first of all, it wasn't unexpected but it's a total bummer. >> reporter: supervisor david canepa says that everyone needs to double down on efforts to flatten the curve. san mateo county reported an 85% spike in new covid cases between october and november. >> we need to make sure we're doing the things that we've all talked about, right, wearing our mask, socially distant, being socially distant, washing our hands. >> reporter: giovanni hopes one day everything will be back to normal. >> we try to work together. the most important is that we're

healthy and the rest will come later. >> reporter: in burlingame, cornell barnard, abc 7 news. >> check out the details of the coronavirus situation in your county including how fast cases are rising and what business restrictions are in place, find the map on abc7news.com. it has been nice this weekend, which is good for small businesses. >> there have been a lot of people out enjoying themselves and maybe spending some money on the agenda again today with all the sun and mild temperatures. san francisco in the 40s. elsewhere it's chilly in the 30s, but more low to mid-60s return today, and some sun will change us to start the work week, but we'll talk about the next week of december in detail, next. >> thanks, lisa. also ahead, as we mentioned, it was small business saturday. one like no other. how the day went for both shoppers and bay area businesses. and some of those establishments are actually getting a little bit of help to

recoup lost revenue from shutting down. we'll tell where you and the dead line to apply for a gra

the man behind the notorious darth vader mask has died. dave prowse died yesterday at the age of 85. he played the deep breathing character in the first three "star wars" movies but his voice was never heard. he only lended his 6'7" frame, while james earl jones voiced the character. prowse was also an award winning weight lifter and body builder. disney opens "star wars" and is the parent company of abc 7. oakland police are offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in a deadly 2016 shooting, 22-year-old terrence mccrary, jr., was one of two men shot and killed at a party four years ago.

as shots were fired the crowd began return running in all directions and mccrary was hit by a stray bullet. a third victim was also wounded. anyone with information is asked to call oakland police. and small business saturday was crucial for mom and pop shops struggling to survive during the pandemic. abc 7 news was in oakland where business owners were setting up tables outside. the annual event encourages shoppers to spend money at small local businesses instead of big box retailers. we caught up with one art gallery owned by a husband and wife team. the wife said shopping local benefits more than just the owners. >> it's important to support local artists, all the time, but especially right now, because when you support small businesses, you know that that money goes directly back into the community. when you do a big box store, you're just making somebody

richer. >> another small business saturday local items are often more unique and make one-of-a-kind gifts. that is exactly what small shops wanted to see, a line of customers there. abc 7 news was in san jose's willow glen neighborhood where shoppers came out to support local businesses. the manager at mann's jewelers says sales are up but several small shops in the area have been forced to close. san jose has launched a loan program to help small businesses there. and nationally, holiday sales for big box and mom and pop stores are looking pretty good. thanksgiving day alone online spending reached a record-shattering $5.1 billion. thanksgiving and black friday online sales were both up more than 21% from last year. adobe analytics found that 44% of consumers plan to shop locally yesterday. one of the shoppers was vice president-elect kamala harris.

>> sadly, since covid started, one in four small businesses in our country has closed, and we want to make sure that we sustain the small businesses to help them through this moment so they can continue to do what they do. >> some experts say consumers are spending less on entertainment and travel, which means they have more discretionary income. and struggling small businesses in vacaville could get a lifeline from the city as we head into the winter. the city council approved nearly $400,000 in grants to help businesses recoup losses from shutting down during the ongoing pandemic. part of the money comes from the c.a.r.e.s. act passed by congress earlier this year. businesses are eligible for up to $15,000 in relief funding. business owners can apply for a grant through december 3rd. and more than $10 million granted to preserve salmon in california, the grants going toward the restoration and enhancement and protection of salmon habitats. experts say salmon populations across the state drastically declined since the 1960s. the department of fish and wildlife says 27 projects were

selected to receive funding, and they're going to focus on recovery plans including removing barriers to fish migration, restoring habitats and much more. crews are going to break ground tomorrow on a major infrastructure improvement project on 19th avenue in san francisco. it includes enhancements to pedestrian safety, street repairs and upgraded to aging underground utilities. during construction 19th avenue will remain open but traffic could be reduced from three to two lanes. drivers can expect delays when work is under way. the project is scheduled to last 27 months and work is scheduled to happen from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. monday through friday. small business saturday i was you the own about and happy to see lots of lines outside businesses so that's good. >> that's right, those mom and pop stores must have been happy because yes, i saw the same thing, lots of folks out enjoying the day and what a

>> the fact they're in industrial areas oftentimes don't get the same attention that it would get in a residential area. >> reporter: would lapd tell these warehouse owners? >> we ask them to ask more questions, to be more selective, and to try to better identify what the purpose of that is going to be. >> reporter: its extent of the problem here unknown, but on the same night of this warehouse shooting two weeks ago -- >> we have a big party going on -- >> reporter: there were social media posts from this gathering in downtown l.a. and this one posted just last weekend. the parties are often organized online, with no location given until hours before the event. >> hands up! >> don't shoot! >> reporter: in an era of police reform, the department must think hard about sending armed officers to a gathering where no additional crimes are reported. >> and so in those instances where a response would be more geared towards public health issues or we could direct

unarmed response through, we have partners in the fire department, there are other entities that could better respond to those kinds of things. >> reporter: a curfew in los angeles county may have had an impact. we found two separate warehouse parties canceled last weekend, just hours before the curfew was to take effect. in california, raves were held outside in san bernardino county, where the local health department says it approves and monitors them, but in the cold weather of new york -- >> sheriff's office would be concentrating on large-scale gatherings. >> reporter: authorities declared the underground party is over. stephanie elam, cnn, los angeles. back here in the bay area, parnell pharmaceuticals of san rafael is developing a nasal spray to prevent the coronavirus. according to "the marin independent journal" the company plans to ask the fda for approval. it wants to do clinical trials and also asking for emergency authorization. a meeting with the fda is set for next month. coming up on "this week" dr. anthony fauci will talk about

the shooter appears to be in his 20s. very sad. okay a landmark restaurant on the peninsula will temporarily close starting today due to economic hardships called by the pandemic. the millbrae pancake house has been open every single day except for christmas day since another's day 1959. the restaurant's owner tells us they can't make ends meet with outdoor dining and takeout. >> we have been operating at a loss for nearly nine months now, and just bleeding money and we had to make a decision just to stop the bleeding. we've done everything we can to stay afloat. if we want to survive, we need to put the brakes on right now. >> the millbrae pancake house will serve diners until 2:00 this afternoon. its owner hopes to reopen sometime next year. sad to hear that. okay, still ahead on "abc 7 mornings," the pandemic has been tough on all of us, but some

like him. when he first painted harris, chelsea clinton retweeted the time lapse of her portrait helping connect harris and tyler with a phone call. tyler's dream is to paint the official white house portrait. i love that. you may remember this encount from a story we did last year, tyler painted jennifer lopez and fiance alex rodriguez and his dream was to meet the couple, so abc 7 news teamed up with j-lo's management and the s.a.t. center to make that happen when she performed there last summer. i love this story, that's so cool. >> it's great. beautiful view, good morning, everyone. check out our roof camera and the colors. the sunrise has been certainly spectacular this morning. temperatures cold though, below freezing in a few neighborhoods. right here in the city we're at 47 degrees. if you liked yesterday, i think you'll like today. we'll talk about the changes ahead for early december, next. >> thanks, lisa.

sporting events in the county for a while. christian carlisle two of his eight right there off the bench, and here's keyshawn justice dialing from distance. he had four triples on the night. broncos up 16 and rolling, under 8:00 to go. jordan williams had five but this two-pointer was impressive, he rocks the rim. so nice we show it twice. he picked up a technical for hanging on the rim but santa clara 3-0, 73-57 the winners. espn reports all denver broncos quarterback also not be available after contact tracing. quarterback jeff driscoll tested positive for covid thursday, drew locke, ripen and bortels were close contacts and reportedly not wearing masks around driscoll. it's unclear whether that was during practice or a meeting but as of now that game scheduled this afternoon against the saints is a go. the lions fired head coach matt patricia and gm bob quinn after two straight seasons under 500. this season was going nowhere fast, they're 4-7 overall. patricia went 13-29-1 since he has taken over in 2018.

quinn's record wasn't much better as team's gm, a three-year span. did you see this? this is vanderbilt's sarah fuller, became the first woman to play in a power five college football game when she kicked the ball off to start the second half against missouri, she's a senior going to the vanderbilt women's soccer team, the only play she got in the team's 41-0 loss. no chances after that, but after the game, she said she's excited to represent girls who want to play football or any sport. what a great story that is. that is your look at sports. let's send it back to you. >> all right, now let's get a check over with lisa argen and i know it's going to be another nice day today. >> certainly another good day out there, although boy, this morning, temperatures have dropped into the upper 20s by the delta, and we had a bit of a windchill up in the north bay, so numbers are below freezing there as well. we're beginning to see a little bit of recovery around parts of the bay area. so getting going this morning may be a little tough once again, where we've got the coldest numbers in the north bay, but even the east bay has seen numbers right at freezing.

look at livermore, 32 degrees, as well as novato at freezing. looking at upper 30s towards napa. 34 in san jose with 38 in oakland, and overnight lows tonight once again, dropping back to near freezing in the north bay, the delta, just below freezing, and warmest numbers anywhere in the low 40s near oakland and san francisco. beautiful view here, where we look at the bay bridge, and a few high clouds drifting by, really very little change from yesterday to today, a system to the north allowing for a more colorful sunrise, due to the high clouds and perhaps the same deal tonight with the sunset, and a few high clouds. so as we look at the bigger picture, the storm track pushed well to the north, in fact up through british columbia. here is san francisco, and that stagnant air mass overhead, high pressure, it was kind of weak behind that system, it will get a little strong sore maybe air quality will be affected but i think we'll have enough wind that will have pretty good air

quality so cold this morning with some high clouds, mostly sunny and mild this afternoon. getting a little breezy towards the end of the week, that high pressure still with us, building in. the next seven days, not only california will be dry, but check it out through oregon and washington as we're looking at that ridge of high pressure all the way up into british columbia. here is a look at some of the warmest temperatures throughout the week ahead. how about vacaville today in the 60s, tomorrow mid-60s and then by tuesday, as the high pressure ridge begins to build, a mild day and that continues throughout the week ahead. so average highs closer to the bay upper 50s to near 60. so we are running anywhere from about three to seven degrees above normal. in the south bay then, milpitas 63 today. look for 66 in los gatos. on the peninsula, mid-60s for you, nice afternoon, the winds will be light, so you'll warm up to the low 60s in palo alto. upper 50s the sunset, daly city, a sunny afternoon in pacifica.

65 for you in novato and looking at 63 in napa. oakland you are at 67 yesterday. almost the same, mid-60s from many of you from hayward, 63 in union city and you head inland and we'll see 66 in san ramon and the delta. the accuweather seven-day forecast we have the chilly morning, looking at numbers in the afternoon very mild, low to mid-60s, near 60 at the coast and looking at that steady pattern throughout the middle of the week. by the end of the week milder in the upper 60s out there, and still pretty dry out there, in fact, very dry, we'll watch the winds, they could get a little breezy towards the end of the week in the hills, and then all of a sudden we're into the second week of december, liz, and guess what? that doesn't look like we're going to see any rain either. >> lisa, thank you. we'll get to a story on the healing power of art. thousands of doctors, nurses and first responders have jumped in to battle the covid crisis,

one bay area facility is benefitting from the creativity of another group. abc 7 news anchor dan ashley has their story. >> they're more likely to hold a sketch pad than a stethoscope but these artists are hoping their work will have healing power nonetheless. >> as artists, we can do a lot of things with our work. >> reporter: their canvas and broad strokes is an emergency field hospital set up in san francisco's presidio to handle a potential overflow of patients from the covid pandemic. the single story structure was converted to handle 90-plus non-covid patients, should hospitals become overwhelmed. during the process, dr. andrea tenner from the san francisco department of public health had the idea of adding color and perhaps healing inspiration from art. >> calming pictures or pictures of paintings and images of a better time. >> reporter: after meeting with dr. tenner, organizer and painter laura began working with fellow artists to transform the space. she says the priority was creating scenes that would

capture a patient's imagination. she drew from memories of a visit to tahiti. >> the ocean, the warmth, just the healing sea. >> reporter: other inspirations for the space were as varied as the artists themselves. >> first thing i put on the wall was monarch butterflies. i feel like butterflies are a symbol of hope. >> the pieces that i put up are about growth and movement and about our connection between healing with water and growth in movement, and i thought what could i bring to the field hospital would be that sense of rejuvenation and love and spirit really. even if you're in a room you're exploring the world through art. >> reporter: so far the city's luck has held and health officials haven't had to use the overflow space but should the crisis require it, there is added space in a struggling city for patients to heal both physically and spiritually. dan ashley, abc 7 news. >> very nice. next, a special surprise tribute that "black panther" fans will enjoy.
