flag will then be tested further. the new cases confirmed yesterday were in l.a. county, orange county, and maricopa county in arizona. and remember that the first two cases were confirmed in washington and chicago. all of those patients are being held in isolation. now the last time the cdc did airport screenings like these was d 2014 ebola outbreak. screeners in that case did not catch any sick passenger. like sfo, l.a.x. is also screening passengers which is where where an arriving passenger self-reported his system. >> the airport screenings are working effectively, but remember they're not perfect. >> reporter: now at this point here in the u.s., the cdc has about a hundred samples for suspected cases and ruled out about a quarter of those. in china, though, the coronavirus killed at least 56 people and sickened nearly 2,000 people.

australia yeah and france and singapore have con fimmed cases but with a 14-day incubation period those sick might not know it just yet. and the cdc said this is all a matter of being precautionary and your particular risk is probably very, very low unless you have traveled to china recently. at sfo, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> kris, thank you. 5:37 now. and australian investigators plan to release more information tomorrow about the crash of an air tanker that killed three u.s. firefighters. they're still combing that crash site and this is where, again, they are going to be this morning. investigators are interviewing a number of people who saw that plane go down. the three firefighters were helping on the front lines of the australian wildfires and you could see pictures right here. captain ian mcbeth, paul hudson and flight engineer rick demorgan jr., all three were military veterans. well if you've been out on a drive in the bay area recently, you know the roads are more

crowded than ever and fewer people are turning to public transit to escape the transit jams. bob redell live outside of the b.a.r.t. station in fremont with a look at the reason why. bob? >> reporter: well, laura, blame ride-sharing services like uber and lyft and people are living farther away from transit hubs like the one behind me at the warm springs b.a.r.t. station in freem. the mercury news is reporting that the ucla institute of transportation will release a study in february that found between 2016 and 2018, ridership on b.a.r.t., muni, cal train and all of the other bay area public transit systems combined fell by 5.2%. that is adding up to 27.5 million fewer trips per year. it might not feel like that when you are crammed into your b.a.r.t. train during your morning commute. but that is because the decline is taking place during off-peak hours according to the merc. the study believes ride-sharing

services could be partly to blame and the housing shortage has pushed people into the out edges of the bay area, into places like the central valley where there is less public transit available. so how do you get more people on the buses an trains? the study suggests transit agencies could lower ticket prices and more dedicated bus lanes and provide more housing closing to the transit hubs. live in fremont, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you. 5:39. and snoena county leaders want people to be ready in the event there is another wildfire. there will be a series of preparedness meetings. the tubbs wildfire in 2017 killed 25 people and destroyed more than 4,000 hom place at 6:30 at the petaluma library. and the bike path on the richmond-san rafael bridge will be closed for the them. few weeks to perform strucl

inspections. motor vehicle lanes will remain opench the last day of closures is set for friday, february 14th. which we know is -- >> valentine's day. >> love is in the air. >> always. >> so this weekend we're getting ready for the super bowl. so if you have a party going on, we'll have some nice weather here and in miami. they're looking at kickoff temperatures around 72 degrees. and then at halftime at about 68. if you're lucky enough to go, you'll have a beautiful week ahead. as we check out what is going on around the bay area, getting outside for a hike saturday is looking great. a lot of sunshine, reaching the low 60s and we'll also see some slightly cooler air by sunday. more of the same at half moon bay. more clouds moving in by the end of the weekend. so your day to get outside will be saturday in the tri-valley. and we're also going to see more sunshine, look at that, up to 70 zwree degrees this weekend and so make plans to get out there and

enjoy. as you head on the roads check out the morning commute. the south bay chute is looking good. starting to see more issues heading around parts of the east bay looking at the bay bridge where it is starting to back kwup and also on i-80. an this is away from the main commute direction and we'll see that possibly cause some back-ups, also looking at highway 4 seeing some of the sensors there turning yellow meaning if your going westbound on highway 4 through pittsburg it is starting to slow down. in the tri-valley an accident just happened on i-580 as well as that connector with 680. that may slow people down heading through that area. so the tri-valley drive times now showing red. westbound 84 to i-680 takes about 20 minutes and from grant line to 680 takes about 23 minutes so now is the time to go. we'll talk about what is going on today in our forecast. that is coming up in about three minutes. >> we'll check back it you, thanks, kari.
