say that 2 people are dying of covid-19 every single hour. this is happening at hospitals are struggling to keep up with the surge of patients on wednesday, california set daily records for newly reported cases and deaths with 295 people dying in the state yesterday. most of california's 40 million residents are under stay-at-home orders because of dwindling intensive care units. the massive rise in infections began in october and is being blamed largely on people ignoring safety measures and socializing with others especially over the thanksgiving holiday and that's why starting tomorrow the entire bay area is going to be under a stay at home order. >>the stay at home order was issued mostly in the bay area earlier but now it's also the rest of the county's they have been swept up there by a state mandate. >>to lock down. that's in san mateo naps lot of santa cruz and monterey counties those have been added to this day at home or so we're all in this now until at least january 7th, yes so starting tomorrow morning counties are going to shut everything down from outdoor dining to hair salons

personal care services. >>museums will shut down zoos wineries bars, all of them, retail stores will also have to cap. they're in store capacity of just 20% and this change comes after the region's icu capacity drop below that 15% threshold. business owners once again left devastated and worried not only for their own businesses but for their employees too. >>i knew it was going to come at some point but i'm just hoping maybe we would get one more weekend because the weather supposed to be nice this weekend then. you just a few more dollars for all the employees to celebrate the holidays with i don't charge independent headdresses then well with close but i stopped to pay my landlord. you know i did it for 4 months that way. i don't know how much longer i can keep doing it and i realized what i'm asking is difficult and asking people to not get together for christmas or hanukkah or kwanzaa not get together for a new year's eve and new year's >>but but if we can do that we can we can make a huge

difference in the end they shape of this outbreak. >>the order also prevents people one household from interacting with anybody and other household. and the idea is to slow the spread because you reduce your interactions, especially over the holidays. so if you're families knots most meet with somebody else's or james, you can't even cover my place that is stay in your bubble. kron four's will tran has followed this news 4 san mateo county let's go out live now with more on what businesses are preparing to do as of what that tonight into tomorrow morning right well. >>essence friday morning that will not take place anymore you see those tents right behind me, yes, legally they can stay here and they've state or even though other counties in the bay area remove their tents because up until yesterday the icu beds they were above 15%. now the state they were hoping that some a tail county voluntarily. shelter in place, but they could not make them.

now it's below 15% we're not even going to ask you we're telling you come friday morning remove those tense turn off the lights. for a lot of businesses like hair salons and then for those particular locations, no more outdoor dining you will have to do take out similar to what we saw earlier in the year that gyms the movie theaters. the museums by now you get the drill is going to be pretty much. a shelter-in-place lockdown for the next 3 weeks the state will look at it twice every week to see how things are going, but it's going to be in place for at least 3 weeks to slow down the surge of covid-19 they want to get the number of beds up above 15% san joaquin valley region. we saw their numbers drastically go down to one point. >>they literally ran out of beds and that's what they don't want to happen to the bay area and that is why i'm sure sooner than later today, public works crews in san mateo county. they will have to come out here remove the

barriers, those tense the umbrellas. they will have to be folded. but back into storage because that will not be allowed. a lot of people over the weekend in surrounding counties that were voluntarily shut down. they came to san mateo county to experience outdoor dining. well the clock is ticking james and darya come technically at 11:59pm tonight. that is not going to happen. >>all right, thanks a lot. we'll thanks for that update. >>now underway a panel of experts at the fda will begin reviewing actually already have you can see the live stream right now they are picking apart moderna's covid-19 vaccine making sure it is safe and affective it's a similar process to what we saw them do with pfizer's last week. and if it follows the same pattern the fda is expected to approve moderna's vaccine at some point perhaps maybe even on friday. and that could mean we'll have doses start being distributed next week moderna says this vaccine is also 95% effective, although it's different in one

key aspect to pfizer's moderna's vaccine doesn't have to be stored at such extreme lee cold temperatures just normal freezers can handle it, which means a lot more hospitals and pharmacies especially in rural areas can handle the vaccine and distributed to people. the fda again expected to allow distribution perhaps as early as monday. so fingers crossed the come next week we'll have to manufacturers pushing out effective vaccine, happening today by the way and say in the south but we have santa clara county beginning to administer its stock of covid-19 vaccines to front-line workers. we have kron 4 sarah stinson on the story for us live from san jose good morning sara. >>yeah here at the santa clara county fairgrounds health care workers at skilled nursing facilities will be the first to receive the early doses of the pfizer vaccine in this county. it's going to be happening here at 9 o'clock and this is the first of many doses that will be heading to

it at least for free health care workers first getting the vaccine want to encourage people to get the shot in the arm by giving the public transparent information about the vaccine and showing them on the news. >>how it's being done to show them that they're getting it so others get it to now today santa clara county they will begin their distribution of the vaccine starts at 9 here in san jose the health officer santa clara county doctor sara cody she'll be here and hopefully we can get a bit more information about the distribution to the general public for now live in san jose sarah stinson kron 4 news very good. thank you sarah. >>in the north bay, the first doses of pfizer's vaccine arrived yesterday and run county they've got 2000 doses that they're going to give out its 3 hospitals and more than a dozen skilled nursing facilities. 2 workers from kaiser permanente sandra fell we're the first to get shots in the arm and they both said they felt good and say that more needs to be done though

couple of weeks because of their vaccines but they're not the only ones still we've got several other vaccines in trials right now some currently in their phase 3 trial which means a real close to being done and they need to continue right now astrazeneca and johnson and johnson are in phase 3. >>doctor hyman scott with u c s f says that they are currently enrolling more participants for astrazeneca's trials and johnson and johnson has 45,000 people enrolled in there's including some at stanford university doctor philip grant is the principal investigator for that trial. and he says that there are some questions that are going to be answered by doing these trials. >>i think the big question is like how much of that vaccines do we have available and how much do we need. and we have more need than we have vaccines available that are currently under how frequently is a question.

>>they'll be answered in the next next couple years you also are not fully sure what was the best answer when everything's done will be the most effective will be the best tolerated will be best in specific populations like pregnant women and children. >>neither of those 2 vaccines would require the ultra-cold storage that pfizer moderna need and that is something doctors say is critical for global distribution and ease. >>we'll take a quick break here at 7.26 coming up next on the kron 4 morning news, there is major distrust though when it comes to the covid-19 vaccine will tell you why one city council person says that some of the latin x community. or a little hesitance about rolling up their sleeves to tell you why.

>>and the rain was really heavy earlier this morning maybe it will maybe your alarm clock walk out the now you're going where may be delayed some flights early this morning we've got a live look there at the airport daryn it looks like things are ok for now, but looks like the clouds are pretty low too. john in the weather center has got a better look good morning good morning guys we are seeing showers really clearing out now but roadways are definitely still wet so you're still encountering the remnants of those showers at least what they left behind which are those wet conditions that you'll be venturing out onto. >>bay bridge looking a whole

lot brighter than it was earlier conditions have definitely come down now, but i'd say still give yourself a few extra minutes to get to work, let's get you a look outside you can see from our north bay camp situated looking down at san francisco skies are a whole lot clear than they were earlier and conditions way calmer on radar than they were earlier to to our south. there's your rainfall is pushing out into the central valley. so i 5 in the midst of some of that heavier rain right now just north of west of los santos let's zoom out a little bit further still snow up in the sierra nevada and that's going to stay around for much of the morning into early afternoon as for us in the bay we're just drying out now we're going to be looking at highs back into the 50's and not much different from where we're at currently oakland right now at 56 degrees while petaluma and santa rosa. each in the 40's. robin. >>all right, thank you john still tracking a major hot spot. it was coming from the maze heading into emeryville here's a little snapshot. i took from the caltrans camera that shows you the connector

ramp from 5.80 west over to 80 east. it's a two-lane wrap the left lane is open the right lane is blocked, here's an overturned pickup truck and there's your tow truck on scene working to get it out of the way so a special traffic alert remains in place. this is impacting those of you who come from 5.80 this is 5.80 it's backed up to 24 and now it's backing up onto the 90 connector, the 24 connector as you merge onto 5.80 west trying to squeeze into emeryville because of that accident just before the ikea so heads up for that still blocking still slow. i'll let you know when it's out of the way we do have a backup here at the bay bridge toll plaza very busy into san francisco. it is slow. it is soggy. so watch your speed we're looking at 13 minutes to make it then we'll check more bridges coming up back to you. >>all right, thank you very much robin at 7.31 the bay area regions icu capacity has dropped under 13% which is triggered now the regional stay at home order so starting tomorrow morning the entire bay area will be shut down. most counties as we know

already issued the stay at home orders early but now the others will have to comply that includes san mateo napa solano santa cruz and monterey counties. they'll have to implement the order and it will stay in effect until january 7 th's which means 4 out of 5 regions across the state now are under the state's mandatory order and we're pretty much all in this together now it's getting worse day by day i see user near. >>capacity at most hospitals in l a they less than 2% of their icu beds available and the population is more than 10 million people nancy loo has more. >>it's the situation health officials had warned about but the reality is hitting hard now california reported another massive new record of nearly 54,000 covid cases and 293 deaths in just the past 24 hours. according to la county some ambulance crews have had to wait up to 6 hours to offload patients were going through perhaps the most intense. an urgent moment, the

governor is implemented the state's mass fatality program dispersing 60 refrigerated storage units to handle emergency overflow for march. he stressed another sobering fact and urging californians to stay home. >>we just had to order 5,000 additional body bags, they just purchased for the state and we just the state is bringing in hundreds of additional medical workers including 50 from the california national guard. >>and the strain on hospitals is expected to get even worse unfortunately. >>people are not really adjusting to the fact that this virus has spread and spread significantly more than it has in the past 9 months it's helped up to 2 million californians will be vaccinated in the next 2 months first and foremost the state's front-line workers but on another front union nurses are pushing back against a state program which allows hospitals to seek waivers on patient ratios forcing nurses to care for more patients. the

california nurses association claims it's a recipe for more deaths, the roll back those standards now means we are running from patient to patient. >>it means we do not have the time to respond to each patient's rapidly changing care condition to monitor their subtle changes that may mean living to see another day or dying on that day. >>right now the who should be next to get the covid vaccine. the state's vaccine advisory committee met yesterday to determine that new phase governor newsome. >>says about 8 million people are expected to be in that phase, including teachers. >>farm workers in grocery store employees. the committee's moderator says the group got more than a 100 pages of public comment from workers around the state wanting to be included. >>well u.s. officials are actively negotiating for additional supplies of pfizer's coronavirus vaccine after passing up the chance to buy them. this past summer they decided against doing it

because they said it was unclear at the time how well the shots would work, although there was a clause that said they would have to purchase it if the fda didn't authorize it. this is the situation we're in the federal government originally bought a 100 million doses from pfizer the government's now hoping to purchase that same amount and get it by at least the middle of next year there was no immediate comment from pfizer whose ceo said that it is working very collaboratively with the governor right now to deliver those additional vaccines. they're working through the federal government's operation warp speed program to try to get it done. it suggests to many people in the latin x community are less likely to trust the vaccine and that's why one san jose city council woman is out there right now trying to dispel dis-information. >>one of our biggest jobs is going to make sure to if the education out make sure that we inform people we have to be. >>very mindful that we're in a community that hasn't always trust what government says.

>>language literacy levels anti immigration rhetoric all some of the reasons why some of the community just don't trust the government when people don't have access to accurate information that's when they tend to rely on word of mouth which isn't always reliable and inaccurate social media platforms to which are fraught with this information media campaigns are being prepared right now not just to convince people that the vaccine is safe, but also to educate them about the possible side effects and other concerns. >>the fda is telling pharmacists not to throw away extra doses of the pfizer vaccine that are ending up and the viles one vile was supposed to hold 5 doses. that's according to the label but pharmacists are actually and given the shots in the arm they're saying hey there's some leftover in there they get 6 or even 7 doses out of that vile so the fda is saying use as much as you can don't throw it away and let it go as

far as it can. twitter is going to begin removing misinformation about the covid vaccine from their site. post that include false claims about the virus and debunked claims about the effects of the vaccine. and he claims the suggests that immunizations are used to harm or control people that's all going to be removed. twitter is going to be enforcing that new policy next week. facebook and youtube have also announced they are going to remove misinformation about vaccines. >>still ahead on the kron 00:00am morning news a bay area woman who relies on unemployment during this pandemic after bank account wiped out by a scammer we'll tell you how you can prevent this from happening to you. and after the break a troubling trend in the east bay, we'll tell you what we know about a group of children suspected in a violent crime spree. and skies may have dried back out the roadway still certainly wet from our overnight and early morning showers. here's your camera view in walnut creek this morning. >>conditions just going to continue to dry out for the rest of the day will be in the
