WEATHER
WEATHER IS ALSO IN THE EIGHT DAY. MORE ON THAT IN JUST A MOMENT. ALL RIGHT. LET'S SEND
IT BACK TO YOU, HEATHER. THANK
YOU. THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED
THAT THE CORONA VIRUS TASK
FORCE IS WINDING DOWN AS
THE COUNTRY MOVES INTO A NEW
PHASE. A NEW TASK FORCE WILL
NOW START. THIS TASK FORCE WILL
FOCUS ON SAFETY AND REOPENING.
MORE THAN 40 STATES ARE EASING
THEIR RESTRICTIONS EVEN THOUGH
24 NEW CASES INCREASED LAST
WEEK. RIGHT NOW MEDICAL EXPERTS
SAY HOSPITALS NEED TO PREPARE
FOR A SPIKE. SO LET'S GO AHEAD
AND TAKE A LOOK AT THE LATEST
NUMBERS WORLDWIDE. THERE ARE
MORE THAN THREE POINTS SIX
MILLION CASES HERE IN THE U.S..
MORE THAN ONE POINT TWO MILLION
CASES, MORE THAN 72 THOUSAND
DEATHS. MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED
SIXTY FOUR THOUSAND PEOPLE HAVE
RECOVERED. NOW COUNTY
SUPERVISORS HAVE NOW APPROVED
USING FIVE MILLION DOLLARS TO
HELP ESSENTIAL WORKERS PAY FOR
CHILD CARE. BUT THEY DID NOT
APPROVE GIVING HAZARD PAY TO
SOME COUNTY WORKERS. AS FOR
THE LATEST ON THE CASES IN OUR
COUNTY, ONE HUNDRED FORTY
ADDITIONAL CASES WERE REPORTED
JUST RECENTLY MAKING THE TOTAL
NOW TO FOUR THOUSAND ONE
HUNDRED SIXTY CONFIRMED CASES.
SIX NEW DEATHS WERE REPORTED
BRINGING THE TOTAL TO UP TO ONE
HUNDRED FIFTY NEW WHEN 150
PEOPLE. AND WE CAN TELL YOU
THAT TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED
EIGHTY FOUR PEOPLE HAVE
RECOVERED ERIC. THANKS, DELLA.
JUST A DAY AFTER THE COUNTY
VOTED TO APPROVE A GUIDELINE
FOR SOME BUSINESSES TO REOPEN,
A HANDFUL OF LOCAL LEADERS ARE
ASKING THE STATE FOR EVEN MORE
TYPES OF BUSINESSES TO GET BACK
TO WORK. YOU SEE CHRIS GROVE IS
LIVE WITH A CLOSER LOOK AT
WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE TODAY.
GOOD MORNING, CHRIS. GOOD
MORNING, ERIC. THIS GROUP WILL
BE MEETING AROUND 10:00 A.M. TO
ANNOUNCE THEIR FRAMEWORK AND
THIS INCLUDES CITY COUNCIL
MEMBER OF SAN DIEGO SCOTT
SHERMAN WHO IS GOING TO PUT OUT
HIS FRAMEWORK ON WHAT OTHER
TYPES OF BUSINESSES THAT HE
WOULD LIKE TO SEE REOPENED AS
OUR ECONOMY DOES START TO
REOPEN ON THE STATE LEVEL.
HOWEVER, THESE ARE BUSINESSES
THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN PHASE
TWO OF THE GOVERNOR'S PLAN. NOW
IN A RELEASE DETAILING HIS
ANNOUNCEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT IT'S
WRITTEN IN PART QUOTE THAT SAN
DIEGO RESIDENTS HAVE DONE THEIR
PART TO FLATTEN THE CURVE AND
THE REGION HAS FOLLOWED EVERY
ORDER IN REQUESTS. ASKED BY
THE STATE GOVERNMENT NOW
CURRENTLY CALIFORNIA IS IN
THE GOVERNOR'S PHASE 2 PORTION
OF THE STATE TO REOPEN. THAT
MEANS CERTAIN BUSINESSES LIKE
BOOKSTORES, CLOTHING, TOY AND
SPORTING GOODS STORES WOULD BE
ALLOWED TO REOPEN FOR CURBSIDE
PICKUP ONLY. THE ONLY PROBLEM
IS THAT THE GOVERNOR DIDN'T
MENTION WHAT THIS WOULD LOOK
LIKE AND WHAT WOULD NEED TO BE
DONE AND INSTEAD HE WOULD
UNVEIL THAT PART OF THE PLAN ON
THURSDAY. THAT'S WHY THE COUNTY
GOVERNMENT WENT AHEAD AND
PASSED A FRAMEWORK OF
GUIDELINES FOR BUSINESSES TO
ADOPT TO MAKE SURE THAT
CUSTOMERS EMPLOYEES ARE SAFE
AND THAT THEY FOLLOW PHYSICAL
DISTANCING. THIS WOULD ALL NEED
TO BE IN PLACE BY FRIDAY. BUT
COUNTY LEADERS DO EXPECT TO
HEAR MORE ABOUT IF THEIR
FRAMEWORK MEETS THE STATE
STANDARDS TOMORROW. THEY MAY
WANT TO THANK ALL OF MY
COLLEAGUES FOR PROVIDING INPUT.
THEY COLLECTED FROM BUSINESSES
IN THEIR RESPECTIVE DISTRICTS
AND HOPE TO INFORM THIS INITIAL
FRAMEWORK. THE ULTIMATE
DECISION ON REOPENING FROM
THE STATE WILL BECOME ENTIRELY
AND IT'S NOT THIS JUST THIS
GROUP OF LOCAL LEADERS THAT ARE
PUSHING FOR MORE BUSINESSES TO
REOPEN. BUT THE EAST COUNTY
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAS ALSO
WRITTEN A LETTER ASKING FOR
THEIR MEMBERS TO SEND IT TO
THEIR LOCAL LEADERS AND
REPRESENTATIVES PUSHING FOR
ADDITIONAL BUSINESSES TO
REOPEN. YOU CAN READ THAT
LETTER ON OUR WEBSITE CBSA DOT
COM. JUST GO AHEAD AND CLICK ON
THE STORY LINK BACK TO YOU,
CHRIS. THANK YOU FOR THAT. IT
IS 6 0 7 TIME NOW FOR YOUR
MORNING RUSH. THE MAN POLICE
SAY KILLED HIS EX GIRLFRIEND'S
BOYFRIEND AND THEN FLED TO
MEXICO IS EXPECTED TO FACE A
JUDGE TODAY HERE IN SAN DIEGO.
FORTY FOUR YEAR OLD OR NESTOR
MARTINEZ FACES FIRST DEGREE
MURDER CHARGES. HE'S ACCUSED OF
SHOOTING AND KILLING ALEXANDER
MASON OUTSIDE OF A 24 HOUR
FITNESS IN THE MIDWAY DISTRICT.
THIS WAS IN 2018. AT THE TIME
MASON WAS DATING MARTINEZ'S
EX-GIRLFRIEND. MARTINEZ WAS
FOUND IN MEXICO AND EXTRADITED
BACK TO THE U.S. THIS YEAR. UC
SAN DIEGO HAS NOW ANNOUNCED A
PLAN TO GET STUDENTS BACK TO
SCHOOL IN TIME FOR FALL CLASSES
.IT STARS AS EARLY AS NEXT
WEEK. THE RETURN TO LEARN PLAN
REVOLVES AROUND KOVAC 19
TESTING THE INITIAL PHASE WILL
TEST THE FIVE THOUSAND STUDENTS
STILL LIVING ON CAMPUS STATIONS
WILL BE EQUIPPED WITH
CONTAINERS CONSISTING OF SINGLE
CLEAN NASAL SWABS. STUDENTS
WILL PICK ONE UP, SWAB THEIR
OWN NOSE, DROP OFF THE SAMPLE
IN A COLLECTION BOX AND EXPECT
RESULTS. THE NEXT MORNING
ANYONE WHO TEST POSITIVE WOULD
ISOLATE. THE UNIVERSITY SAYS
IT'S THE FIRST IN THE NATION TO
COME UP WITH SUCH AN AMBITIOUS
IDEA. THIS CAME ABOUT BY ASKING
THE QUESTION WHAT WOULD IT TAKE
TO BRING ALL THE STUDENTS BACK
TO CAMPUS? AND HAVE AN
IN-PERSON RESIDENTIAL
EXPERIENCE LIKE WE'VE HAD FOR
THE LAST 50 60 YEARS? THE HOPE
IS TO HAVE SIXTY THOUSAND
STUDENTS AND STAFF TESTING IN
TIME FOR FALL CLASSES TO
RESUME. BUT THE QUESTION THAT
COMES UP IS IS THERE ENOUGH
TEST TO GO AROUND?
THE UNIVERSITY SAYS YES, THANKS
TO THE UCSD MEDICAL CENTER
WHERE PREPARATIONS ARE UNDERWAY
TO DELIVER THE DAILY TESTS AND
GLITCHES ARE BEING REPORTED
FROM THREE NEW CORONA VIRUS
TESTING SITES IN THE COUNTY.
THE SITES OPENED YESTERDAY AND
AS GROSSMAN IN CHULA VISTA,
HOWEVER, AN ESCOVEDO MAN SAYS
HE RESERVED A TESTING TIME ON
MONDAY NIGHT. BUT WHEN HE
SHOWED UP YESTERDAY HE WAS NOT
EVEN IN THE SYSTEM. COUNTY
LEADERS SAY THEY'RE WORKING TO
FIX THE ISSUE AND THAT'S
THE MORNING RUSH. SO WE WANT TO
GIVE OUR FRONTLINE HEROES A
SPECIAL SHOUT OUT THIS MORNING
BECAUSE TODAY IS NATIONAL
NURSES DAY WHICH MARKS
THE START OF NATIONAL NURSES
WEEK. THIS MORNING WE SHINE
THE SPOTLIGHT ON G.G. NETTIE
SMART STABENOW. SHE'S A FLOAT
POOL NURSE AT PALOMAR WEST AND
PALMER RADO JUST BEEN WORKING
THROUGH THE CORONA VIRUS
PANDEMIC AND SAYS IT'S BEEN
FRUSTRATING WORKING WITH
THE LACK OF SUPPLIES. BUT AFTER
BEING A NURSE FOR 35 YEARS, SHE
SAYS SHE CAN'T IMAGINE DOING
ANYTHING ELSE. I DON'T GET
STRESSED. I THINK IT'S MY
PASSION REALLY TO BECOME A
NURSE. I LOVE WHAT THEY DO.
JUDY HAS FOUR KIDS BY THE WAY.
ONE OF THEM IS ACTUALLY
TRAINING TO BECOME A NURSE
HERSELF. IF YOU KNOW A NURSE
LIKE G.G. WHO DESERVES A SHOT
OUT AND THEY ALL DO SEND IN
THEIR PICTURE ALONG WITH THEIR
FIRST AND LAST NAME WE WANT
THEIR TITLE WHERE THEY WORK.
YOU CAN SEND THAT PICTURE TO 8
5 8 5 7 1 8 8 8 8 THAT NUMBERS
ON YOUR SCREEN SO QUICK GRAB A
PEN AND WRITE IT DOWN OR JUST
TAKE A PICTURE. 8 5 8 5 7 1 8 8
8 8. AND YOU CAN TUNE IN
TONIGHT AT 5 P.M. AS WE TAKE A
CLOSER LOOK AT THIS WEEK LONG
SERIES. YEAH, A SHOUT OUT TO
ALL OF OUR NURSES. I MEAN
THEY'VE BEEN OUR HEROES FOR SO
LONG. BUT YOU KNOW, WITH
EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON, YOU
KNOW THEIR JOBS ARE GETTING
EVEN TOUGHER. YEAH. NURSE
