A.M.
A.M. WE
A.M. WE ARE ANNOUNCING OUR EFFORTS TO UPDATE OUR STAY AT HOME GUIDELINES AND BEGIN
THE PROCESS OF MOVING INTO
PHASE TWO. GOVERNOR NEWSOME
SAID CALIFORNIA WILL START
PEELING BACK SOME STAY AT HOME
GUIDELINES THIS WEEK. AND THAT
ANNOUNCEMENT IS GOOD NEWS FOR
MANY BUSINESSES THAT HAVE SHUT
DOWN DUE TO THE ONGOING CORONA
VIRUS CRISIS. GOOD MORNING,
EVERYONE. THANKS SO MUCH FOR
WATCHING. I'M ERIC KONRAD AND
I'M STILL ESCOVEDO. GOOD
MORNING TO YOU. THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR JOINING US ON THIS
CINCO DE MAYO. SO THE GOVERNOR
SAYS THE STATE COULD BE MOVING
INTO PHASE TWO THIS WEEK. SO
WHAT DOES IT MEAN? LET'S GO
AHEAD AND TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
PHASE TWO WILL ALLOW FOR
CURBSIDE PICKUP AT BUSINESSES
SUCH AS BOOK STORES, CLOTHING
STORES, SPORTING GOODS, TOY
STORES, FLORISTS. NOW
THE SECOND PHASE DOES NOT
INCLUDE THE REOPENING OF PLACES
LIKE OFFICES. RESTAURANTS WERE
SEATED DINING AND SHOPPING
MALLS. THE GOVERNOR'S
ANNOUNCEMENT COMES AS LOCAL
LEADERS MEET TODAY TO DISCUSS
PLANS TO REOPEN THE COUNTY.
NEWS THAT A RON PAUL JOINS LIVE
NOW TO EXPLAIN WHAT WAS
DECIDED. NADA. YEAH. HELLO
THERE. SO COUNTY SUPERVISORS
DID UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THEIR
PLAN ON REOPENING BUSINESS. WE
HEARD LOUD. THIS WOULD MUSIC
GUIDELINES WHO ARE STRUGGLING
TO KEEP SO THIS WOULD BE
THE GUIDELINES THAT WOULD LAY
OUT HOW BUSINESSES CAN REOPEN
ONCE THEY GET THE GO AHEAD FROM
THE GOVERNOR. SO LET'S TAKE A
LISTEN NOW TO SUPERVISOR GREG
COX EXPLAINING WHY THEY WANTED
TO MAKE SURE THESE GUIDELINES
WERE READILY AVAILABLE. WE
HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR FROM
BUSINESS OWNERS WHO ARE
STRUGGLING TO KEEP AFLOAT
SPENDING THEIR LAST BIT OF
MONEY AND KEEP LIGHTS ON. YOU
CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT
THE GOVERNOR SAYING THAT WAS UP
TO THE GOVERNOR. BUT WHAT WE
CAN DO IS TO HELP MAKE IT
EASIER FOR BUSINESSES TO REOPEN
SAFELY AND AS SMOOTHLY AS
POSSIBLE. SO GOVERNOR GAVIN
NEWSOM WILL ALLOW SOME LOW RISK
RETAIL STORES TO REOPEN WITH
RESTRICTED OPERATIONS AND THOSE
RESTRICTIONS WOULD INCLUDE
CURBSIDE PICKUP. BUT HE SAID
HE'LL LEAVE THE TIMING AND
SPEED OF REOPENING UP TO LOCAL
LEADERS HERE IN SAN DIEGO.
THE MAYOR AND COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS SAY THEY'LL BE
READY AND TO BE RE READY. THEY
DIDN'T CREATE THE RECOVERY
ADVISORY GROUP MADE UP OF 30
BUSINESSES AND MAYOR FAULKNER
TODAY POINTED OUT THESE
BUSINESS OWNERS PART OF A VERY
DIVERSE GROUP COMING FROM ALL
PARTS OF SAN DIEGO. HE SAYS
THEY'RE THE ONES WHO MADE
THE SUGGESTIONS ON SANITATION
AND SAFETY FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS
SAYING THEIR MAIN PRIORITIES
ARE TO KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS
HEALTHY AND KEEP THEIR
EMPLOYEES HEALTHY. OUR COUNTY
HAS BEEN PREPARING OUR COUNTY
IS READY. SAN DIEGO IS READY TO
RECOVER AND WE NEED TO DO IT
SAFELY AND THAT'S WHAT THESE
RECOMMENDATIONS COME INTO PLAY
IN TERMS OF THE BEST AND
RESPONSIBLE APPROACH. SO COUNTY
LEADERS LAID OUT THEIR
GUIDELINES. IT DOES INCLUDE
EMPLOYEES SAFETY EMPLOYEES MUST
HAVE THEIR TEMPERATURES CHECKED
AND THEIR FACES COVERED AND
THEY CANNOT REPORT TO WORK IF
THEY'RE FEELING SICK. ALL
CUSTOMERS MUST WEAR FACE
COVERINGS AND STORES MUST OFFER
CURBSIDE WHERE FEASIBLE. NOW
SANITATION MUST BE FREQUENT
THROUGHOUT THE STORE AREAS AND
THEN PHYSICAL DISTANCING OF SIX
FEET BETWEEN CUSTOMERS AND
EMPLOYEES ALSO REQUIRED ALONG
WITH COMMUNICATION THAT MEANS
SIGNAGE. MAYBE MUST BE PUT UP
AND ALL EMPLOYEES MUST BE AWARE
OF THESE RULES. SO IT WAS A
UNANIMOUS VOTE BY COUNTY
SUPERVISORS. IT ALL CAME DOWN
WITHIN THE PAST HOUR. BUT
COUNTY SUPERVISOR DIANNE JACOB
DID WANT TO INCLUDE AN ADDITION
WHICH THEY AGREED ON AND THAT
WOULD BE TO MAKE SURE
THE GOVERNOR SEES THESE
GUIDELINES. IN FACT, SHE
POINTED OUT SHE WANTS THESE
DECISIONS TO BE LEFT UP TO
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SO THAT THEY
CAN REOPEN BUSINESSES AS SAN
DIEGO SEES FIT. WE ARE LIVE
ALONG THE EMBARCADERO. WE'LL
SEND BACK TO YOU THEN. THANK
YOU FOR THAT. LET'S GO AHEAD TO
GET YOU CAUGHT UP ON THE LATEST
CORONA VIRUS DEVELOPMENTS RIGHT
NOW. THERE ARE OVER ONE POINT
ONE MILLION CORONA VIRUS CASES
IN THE UNITED STATES AT LAST
CHECK MORE THAN SIXTY NINE
THOUSAND DEATHS AND THAT NUMBER
IS EXPECTED TO CLIMB IN
THE COMING WEEKS HERE IN SAN
DIEGO COUNTY. THERE ARE FOUR
THOUSAND AND TWENTY CASES ONE
HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR
CONFIRMED DEATHS ERIC. AND IF
YOU THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE CORONA
VIRUS, YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET
TESTED WHILE THE COUNTY IS
OPENING THREE NEW CORONA VIRUS
TESTING SITES TODAY. IT'S CHRIS
GROH IS LIVE AT ONE OF THOSE
SITES AND JOINS US TO EXPLAIN
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE
HEADING OUT TO ONE OF THESE
LOCATIONS. I KNOW IN THE PAST
YOU NEEDED SOME SORT OF A NOTE
FROM A DOCTOR OR SOME SOME
SOMEONE THAT CALLED IN ON YOUR
BEHALF. IS THAT THE CASE STILL
?NO, IT'S NOT. IN FACT, LET'S
LET'S CLARIFY BECAUSE THESE ARE
THESE NEW TESTING SITES WE WANT
TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THE NEW
POLICIES AND NOT THOSE OLD
POLICIES WHERE AGAIN AS YOU
SAID YOU WOULD NEED A DOCTOR'S
REFERRAL. THAT IS NOT THE CASE
THAT THESE TESTING SITES THAT
I'VE OPENED UP TODAY HERE
ALCOHOL AS WELL AS AS CANDIDO
AND CHULA VISTA. SO HERE AT
ROSEMONT COLLEGE WE ACTUALLY
JUST SAW A WOMAN LEAVING HER
TEST. SHE SAID IT TOOK ABOUT
TWO HOURS IN LINE BUT ONLY TWO
MINUTES TO GET THAT TEST DONE
NOW IN ORDER TO MAKE AN
APPOINTMENT. YOU'RE GOING TO GO
TO THIS WEB SITE WHERE WE HAVE
TOOK SOME SCREENSHOTS HERE TO
SHOW YOU HOW EASY THIS IS TO
MAKE THAT APPOINTMENT. YOU
STILL NEED TO MAKE AN
APPOINTMENT GO TO LH. I DON'T
CARE SLASH KOVIC TESTING AND
FROM THERE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO
ANSWER A SERIES OF QUESTIONS
ABOUT YOUR SURROUNDING
SYMPTOMS, YOUR AGE AND
POTENTIALLY ANY JOB RELATED
FACTORS. SO AFTER YOU DO THAT
AND ENTER YOUR PERSONAL
INFORMATION YOU CAN SELECT ONE
OF THE LOCATIONS WHERE TESTING
IS BEING DONE HERE IN
THE COUNTY AND REGISTER FOR AN
APPOINTMENT. NOW ALTOGETHER
COUNTY AND STATE LEADERS
BELIEVE THIS WILL BOOST TESTING
CAPACITY IN THE COUNTY BY 800
TESTS A DAY. RIGHT NOW THE GOAL
FOR THE COUNTY IS TO TRY TO GET
TO 50 200 TESTS PERFORMED PER
DAY. THAT INCLUDES ALL OF
THE OTHER TESTS LOCATIONS. NOW
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WHEN
FILING FOR AN APPOINTMENT ASKED
IF YOU'RE CURRENTLY
EXPERIENCING SYMPTOMS THAT'S
BEEN KEY BECAUSE IF YOU'RE
SOMEONE WHO IS TRYING TO GET AN
ANTIBODY TEST ESSENTIALLY A
TEST TO SEE IF YOU HAD COVERED
19 IN THE PAST BECAUSE YOU
BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE
ASYMPTOMATIC, YOU BELIEVE THAT
WHEN YOU WERE SICK YOU DIDN'T
MAYBE HAVE ENOUGH OF
THE SYMPTOMS TO GET THAT
DOCTOR'S REFERRAL TO GO GET A
TEST. YOU CAN NOT GET AN
ANTIBODY TEST AT ONE OF THESE
LOCATIONS. THIS IS PCR TESTING
ONLY WHICH IS FOR USE TO
DIRECTLY DETECT THE PRESENCE OF
AN ANTIGEN. SO AGAIN YOU NEED
AN APPOINTMENT TO ACCESS AND
TEST NO WALK ARE ALLOWED IF YOU
DON'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS.
THERE IS A PHONE NUMBER THAT
YOU CAN DIAL TO GO AHEAD AND
MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AS WELL. GO
TO OUR WEB SITE CBS A.M. CLICK
ON THE HELP. WE HAVE USEFUL
LINKS FOR YOU TO SEE IF YOU ARE
A ELIGIBLE TO GET THE TEST. BUT
THEN AGAIN WHERE YOU CAN GO,
WHO YOU CAN TALK TO TO GET THAT
TEST. GUYS, BACK TO YOU. CHRIS,
THANK YOU FOR THAT AND MORE
HELP COULD SOON BE COMING FOR
SMALL BUSINESSES IN CHULA
VISTA. TODAY COUNCIL MEMBERS
PLAN TO VOTE ON A 90 DAY
ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLAN. IT
WOULD OFFER FINANCIAL AND
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO SMALL
BUSINESS OWNERS. THE PLAN ALSO
CALLS FOR WAYS TO CHANGE
THE RULES SO BUSINESSES CAN GET
BACK ON THEIR FEET. THE CITY
SAYS THE 90 DAY PLAN ALLOWS
THEM TO ADAPT TO ANY STATE AND
FEDERAL CHARGE CHANGES AS WELL.
AND COUNCIL MEMBERS IN CARLSBAD
WILL ALSO VOTE ON SPECIFIC
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THEIR
BUSINESS LOAN PROGRAM. THIS IS
PART OF THE CITY'S ECONOMIC
RECOVERY PLAN. IT COVERS FOUR
KEY POINTS INCLUDING PAYROLL
PROTECTION DEFERRED BUSINESS
LICENSE FEES, SMALL BUSINESS
LOANS AND WORKER BENEFITS. ERIC
