fears over weaker fuel demands. we've got a lot of jobs news. the job openings and labor turnover survey is on tuesday and then private payroll data comes out from adp on wednesday, all ahead of that big closely watched government monthly jobs report that comes out on friday. china's financial hub and biggest city began a two-stage lockdown on monday to control the country's worst covid-19 outbreak since the pandemic began. public transit and ride-hailing are suspended in the city and work from home orders are in place. tesla is suspending production at its shanghai factory for four days, this after tesla halted production at the factory for two days earlier this month amid tightening covid-19 restrictions in china. and amazon is facing union elections this week at warehouses in new york city and in alabama.

4:47 am
now. here's a live look in san francisco. you can't see the rain, but you know the rain is coming down across the bay area. >> there are some spots where it was really taking a break, on my whole drive in this morning it was completely dry. you may be able to avoid the rain depending on where you are. let's get a look at storm ranger right now. the showers are mainly for parts of the east bay and south bay. notice that much of the peninsula, san francisco, parts of the north bay, are really dry at this point, after seeing rain moving through earlier this morning. but it is still wet as you're heading down 80 from vacaville to vallejo. we're seeing spotty rain in parts of southern sonoma county. the richmond-san rafael bridge we are seeing soggy conditions, also going down through oakland. but notice that san francisco is dry. we're also seeing conditions drying up through san mateo. but then as you head to redwood
4:48 am
city, it's raining again. much of the tri-valley seeing light showers at this point. rain getting lighter there. but there are still some pockets of some heavier rain around sunnyvale that will be moving off to the east. some of the heaviest rain over the santa cruz mountains and areas like lexington hills, los gatos, morgan hill and gilroy. this is the biggest rain we've seen since the end of december and it's really great to see. we're still looking at more activity here. notice off the coast we can see the clouds spinning. that's where the center of the storm is right now and that still has to work its way through. the rainfall totals, so far, it's been great to see nearly 2 inch of rain at scott creek and mount tam in the north bay, nearly an inch of rain. castro valley, about 0.4 of an inch of rain. for los gatos, nearly 1/2 inch
4:49 am
of rain, richmond 0.3. look at san jose, 0.07 of an inch of rain so far. but it is still coming down. we are still going to see activity going into late morning, and this afternoon we will be watching out for more energy and there could be the chance that we could see some thunderstorms developing, very spotty and isolated. but there is still a chance the activity continues into later today. you wonder, okay, how will this help us out with the drought? we need nearly 6 1/2 inches of rain for santa rosa to catch up to normal. we need several juicy atmospheric rivers to come through to help us out, so this really won't have a big impact. through the rest of the week we'll be drying out as the storm track heads farther to the north. our only chance of rain is
4:50 am
today, and our temperatures start to warm up. it's overall going to be a fairly mild week with highs in the upper 60s and low 70s and we'll see low to mid-60s for san francisco and a lot of sunshine for the rest of the week into the weekend. let's get you out on the roads this morning for a look at our wide view. we are seeing a lot of these little icons here and there, that means that we have some minor incidents, collisions out there. people spinning out because of the wet commute. we know that after we get some rain and it's been a while since we've had any, the oil kind of rises to the top and it makes it a lot more slick on the roadways. taking a live look outside in dublin, you can see the sheen on the 580 as you're heading into much of the east bay. you're going to see wet roads, but overall our drive times are looking good. 580 westbound on the richmond bridge takes you about seven minutes, which is at speed. i'll have another look at weather and traffic in a few minutes. >> thanks, kari. as the pandemic moves into a
4:51 am
third year, doctors around the world are still researching the long-term effects of covid-19. now, according to the cdc, one in three people have symptoms, they have actually tested positive for covid and this is what they call long covid. common symptoms, tiredness, fatigue, coughs, shortness of breath and hart palpitations. i spoke with the director of the stanford post-acute covid clinic. she says it's important for anyone who has had covid to monitor their symptoms. >> you need to look out for any symptoms. it could run the gamut. it could be as general as fatigue, difficulty concentrating, sleep issues, or more specific to certain organ systems, such as breathing difficulties or musculoskeletal pain and other symptoms as well. but one thing i do want to remind everybody is that the
4:52 am
definition of long covid or post-covid conditions, there are many names that kind of encapsulate and capture this spectrum of conditions, is still evolving. we're still trying to understand as a medical and scientific field, what exactly is long covid or post-covid conditions. right now as many as 200 plus symptoms can fall under this umbrella, and it likely includes various sub types of conditions as well. everybody needs to be on alert and thinking about new things that develop or persist after covid infection, they need to be brought to the attention of your regular doctor, we can work through it something else or if it's from covid. >> is there somethingling covid? are there things that you can eat, maybe vitamins that you can
4:53 am
take to lessen the side effects? >> i wish that there were something very effective. the only thing that we know that can be effective, but it needs to be done before you get the infection, is vaccination. there's an encouraging study to show right now that -- and the data is still growing, so we still need bigger studies to have better conclusions, but it is encouraging, it suggests getting a vaccination before covid can reduce your risk to get long covid or post-covid symptoms. >> at what point should a person be worried if their effects from covid are still lingering? is it a few months or is it just when you're concerned? >> that's a great question. because the definitions are still evolving, there's some that say recognition of symptoms or conditions after four weeks. i think the consensus is moving toward three months, because of the fact that we see so much
4:54 am
improvement in a lot of folks still between four weeks and three months. and so if you still have symptoms at four weeks, there's still a good chance in three months you're going to recover. we could call that subacute or still recovering, but when you're getting beyond three months and you're still having symptoms, that's when i would definitely be making sure you have a full evaluation by your doctor. >> some good advice there. happening today, one bay area lawmaker's push to decriminalize jay walking is taking its first step. this measure will be heard in the assembly transportation committee. if the bill passes, law enforcement officers would prioritize ticketing jay walking whenever it causes an accident. it's also intended to curb unnecessary encounters with police, especially for people of color. state lawmakers approved a similar bill last year but governor newsom ended up vetoing
4:55 am
it. taking you to a galaxy far away. coming up next on "today in the bay," a look inside the new "star wars" exhibit fans have been waiting for. >> and happening now, lafayette city leaders are considering options of how to implement a recently-passed bill aimed at expanding the b.a.r.t. stations. the city will discuss widening the b.a.r.t. parking lot up to 825 units of space and 11 acres of space. this is all following a july 1st deadline that requires a minimum residential zoning of 75 units per acre and a height of up to five stories. according to b.a.r.t.'s development goals, the lafayette site won't be developed sooner than 2030. city leaders will discuss the plans at its meeting tonight. we'll be right back.
