THE
THE TRAFFIC IN JUST A SECOND. IN THE MEANTIME THOUGH, THE COUNTY IS GETTING CLOSER TO
ITS DAILY CORONA VIRUS TESTING
GOALS BUT STILL HAS A BIT MORE
TO GO. THERE WERE MORE THAN
THIRTY THREE HUNDRED REPORTED
TESTS. ONE HUNDRED AND TEN OF
THEM CAME BACK POSITIVE. THERE
ARE NOW FOUR THOUSAND FOUR
HUNDRED TWENTY NINE CONFIRMED
CASES THROUGHOUT THE REGION.
SEVEN MORE PEOPLE DIED BRINGING
THE COUNTY'S DEATH TOLL TO 106
5. WE DO WANT TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT THERE WERE TWO THOUSAND
FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY EIGHT
RECOVERIES. TODAY MARKS
CALIFORNIA'S MOVE INTO PHASE
TWO OF THE FOUR PHASE PLAN TO
REOPEN OUR STATE. SOME OF
THE BUSINESSES THAT ARE
REOPENING MUST PRESENT A SAFETY
PLAN AND POST IT PUBLICLY. IT'S
NOT A REPORT IS LIVE IN EL
CAJON. THE DETAILS THERE. GOOD
MORNING TO YOU, ANITA. GOOD
MORNING. SO MANY BUSINESS
OWNERS ARE HAVE BEEN WAITING
FOR THIS. THEY ARE EXCITED TO
BE ABLE TO REOPEN. BUT YOU'RE
GOING TO NOTICE THINGS WILL BE
DIFFERENT. THEY'LL HAVE TO OPEN
WITH CURBSIDE OR DELIVERY ONLY
AND YOU'LL SEE THOSE SIGNS UP.
AS YOU MENTIONED, NEW
SANITATION GUIDELINES. WE ARE
LIVE HERE IN ALCOHOL AND WRITE
OFF ON MAIN STREET HERE AND
YOU'LL NOTICE SOME OF THESE
BUSINESSES WILL BE OPENING BACK
UP NOW UNDER THE GOVERNOR'S
PHASE TWO ORDERS.
THE BUSINESSES THAT CAN OPEN
WOULD BE TOY STORES, CLOSED
STORES, BOOKSTORES OR SPORTING
GOODS, JEWELRY, HOME FURNISHING
AND FLORISTS. THEY CAN OPEN
WITH CURBSIDE OR DELIVERY
AGAIN. NOW WAREHOUSES
MANUFACTURERS CAN ALSO OPERATE
BUT THEY ALL NEED TO HAVE
SAFETY AND HYGIENE REQUIREMENTS
IN PLACE. YOU WILL NOTICE THOSE
MODIFICATIONS LIKE EMPLOYEES
MUST WEAR MASKS AND GLOVES.
MORE GUIDELINES WILL BE
RELEASED ON TUESDAY INCLUDING
THE NEW RULES FOR RESTAURANTS
BECAUSE THEY WILL EVENTUALLY BE
ABLE TO HAVE CUSTOMERS DINING
IN NOT JUST TAKEOUT SAN DIEGO
COUNTY'S BUSINESS. SAFETY
REOPEN TEMPLATE MUST ALSO BE
PUT UP AT THE ENTRANCE SHOWING
WHICH BUSINESSES ARE READY TO
GET BACK TO WORK. BUT LAWRENCE
FURNITURE OWNER IN HILLCREST
DOES NOT APPRECIATE
THE CURBSIDE PICKUP AND NOT
ALLOWING CUSTOMERS INSIDE. HE
DOES AGREE WITH CUSTOMERS AND
EMPLOYEES SAFETY BUT SAYS YOU
KNOW, PEOPLE NEED TO BE ABLE TO
COME INSIDE AT LEAST ONE AT A
TIME TO TEST OUT HIS FURNITURE
LIKE THE DESKS THAT ARE IN HIGH
DEMAND FOR WORKING AT HOME.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO TO
SO MANY BIG BOX RETAILERS AND
BUY OUR CATEGORY OF GOODS IN
THEIR STORES FOR THE LAST SEVEN
WEEKS. IT'S BEEN FRUSTRATING TO
WATCH. YEAH WHILE HE'S BEEN
FRUSTRATED YOU KNOW HE'S SO
GLAD TO BE ABLE TO OPEN BUT
FLORAL SHOPS. THEY'VE BEEN VERY
BUSY. THEY FALL UNDER
THE GOVERNOR'S PHASE TO
REOPENING AND AGAIN THEY CAN DO
CURBSIDE PICKUP OR DELIVERY
SINGING FLORIST OWNER ON THIRD
AVENUE IN CHULA VISTA SAYS SHE
IS READY. SHE GOT A HOLDER FOR
DIRTY PANS. SHE'S STAGGERING
PICKUP TIMES. THERE IS A
SIGNAGE ALL AROUND.
THE GOVERNOR ALSO SAYS STORES
SHOULD BE ABLE TO OFFER HANDS
FREE DEVICES SO THE WAY YOU PAY
FOR THOSE ITEMS MAY ALSO BE
CHANGING WAREHOUSES ALSO MUST
CLOSE THEIR BAKE BREAK ROOMS
DOWN BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT
EMPLOYEES TO GATHER IN THOSE
ROOMS SO THEY'LL HAVE TO BE
OUTSIDE THE PHYSICAL DISTANCING
ALL STILL A KEY HERE AS PEOPLE
EVEN WAIT OUTSIDE IN LINE TO
PICK UP THEIR ITEMS. SO WE ARE
LIVE HERE IN ALCOHOL AND WE'LL
SEND IT BACK TO YOU NOW AT A
THANK YOU. THE STAY AT HOME
ORDER AND WHEN THE STATE SHOULD
REOPEN HAS BEEN A DIVIDING
POINT FOR MANY PEOPLE. NOW ONE
MAN IS SUING GOVERNOR GAVIN
NEWSOM. JD BOWLES, A SAN DIEGO
RESIDENT IS FILING A LAWSUIT
AGAINST THE GOVERNOR OVER
THE STAY AT HOME ORDERS. BELL
SAYS IT VIOLATES THE FIRST AND
FIFTH AMENDMENT. HE'S
SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO
THE STEPS TAKEN BY NEW TO BLOCK
PROTESTS AND CHURCH SERVICES.
NOW IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR US
TO KNOW THAT THE US
CONSTITUTION IS THE SUPREME LAW
OF THE LAND. THERE IS NOTHING
ABOVE. AND IT'S NOT THERE FOR
SOME OF US TO FOLLOW. SOME OF
THE TIME PEOPLE CAN START
REVOLT SAYS THE APPROACH MADE
BY NEWSOM ON REOPENING
BUSINESSES IS VAGUE AND QUOTE
UNQUOTE NONCOMMITTAL.
THE GOVERNOR AND THE STATE
HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY THE NEW
RULES IN PLACE ARE NECESSARY
FOR OUR SAFETY. AND STARTING
TODAY, PARKS AND TRAILS IN
CHULA VISTA WILL REOPEN TO
THE PUBLIC. IT'S MEANT TO GIVE
RESIDENTS MORE CHANCES TO
EXERCISE DURING THE STAY AT
HOME ORDER. NEWS AIDES CHRIS
ROWE IS LIVE NEAR SALT CREEK
PARK WITH WHAT YOU CAN AND
CAN'T DO. GOOD MORNING, CHRIS.
AND GOOD MORNING. STELLA AND
GATES ARE GONNA OPEN UP AT 7:00
A.M. IN CHULA VISTA FOR THESE
PARKS TO REOPEN. ONE OF
THE MANY THINGS YOU'RE GOING TO
NEED TO REMEMBER IF YOU ARE
PLANNING ON VISITING ONE OF
THE PARKS WHEN THEY REOPEN IS
IT FACE COVERINGS LIKE THIS ONE
ARE STILL REQUIRED FOR YOU TO
USE WHEN YOU'RE WITHIN SIX FEET
OF ANOTHER PERSON? SO LET'S
ALSO GET TO WHAT YOU CAN DO
BECAUSE THIS IS A REALLY GOOD
DAY HERE FOR CHULA VISTA AS
THEY'RE ONE OF THE LAST CITIES
HERE TO KIND OF REOPEN THEIR
PARKS. SO WHAT YOU CAN DO IS
YOU CAN GO FOR A JOG AND A
WALK. YOU CAN HIKE ON
THE TRAILS. YOU CAN'T CYCLE IN
THE PARKS. YOU CAN ACTUALLY
STAND AND SIT IN THE GRASS
AREA. BUT FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF
TIME AN OFF LEASH DOG PARKS ARE
GOING TO BE OPEN. NOW WHAT YOU
CAN'T DO IS THAT YOU DON'T WANT
TO CONGREGATE IN A GROUP OF
MORE THAN ONE UNLESS YOU ARE IN
THE SAME HOUSEHOLD AND IN THAT
CASE THE LIMIT CAN BE UP TO 10
PEOPLE. BUT YOU CAN'T ORGANIZE
A LARGE SPORT GAME LIKE
BASEBALL, SOCCER OR BASKETBALL.
SO NO SPORTS ARE ALLOWED TO BE
PLAYED LIKE THAT. AND FINALLY
NO PICNIC. SO IF YOU ARE HERE
WITH A GROUP OF YOUR FAMILY YOU
SHOULD BE WALKING. NOW SKATE
PARK SPORT COURTS, PLAYGROUNDS
,GAZEBO AND BATHROOMS WILL
REMAIN CLOSED. FACE COVERINGS
AGAIN ARE REQUIRED AS WELL AS
SOCIAL DISTANCING WILL BE
MANDATED. SO AGAIN, DON'T LET
YOUR GUARD UP AT THIS TIME. NOW
WE ALSO WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT
THERE WILL BE AN OPENING HERE
OF THE CHULA VISTA GOLF COURSE
WHICH IS OPERATED BY THE CITY.
BUT THERE ARE ALSO SOME
MITIGATION FACTORS GOING ON
THERE, INCLUDING A LOT OF
SANITATION EFFORTS GOING ON AND
YOUR TEMPERATURE MUST BE
CHECKED BEFORE YOU'RE ALLOWED
TO ENTER THE GOLF COURSE OR GET
ON THE COURSE. SO FOR ANY OF
THESE UPDATES IN THESE NUANCES
HERE WITH THESE PARKS REOPENING
AS WELL AS THE CHULA VISTA GOLF
CARTS GO TO OUR WEB SITE CBS 8
DOT COM CLICK ON THE STORY LINK
AND YOU CAN FIND THOSE DETAILS
BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT TODAY. BUT
AGAIN TODAY STARTING AT 7:00
A.M. THE CHULA VISTA PARKS AND
THE CHULA VISTA GOLF COURSE ARE
REOPENING. BACK TO YOU, CHRIS.
THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND TIME
NOW FOR YOUR MORNING RUSH.
THE SOUTH BAY HAS BEEN HIT HARD
BY THE CORONA VIRUS CRISIS AND
THE CHICANO FEDERATION IS
TAKING ACTION. COUNTY DATA
SHOWS LATINOS ACCOUNT FOR ABOUT
56 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL LOCAL
CASES. THE NONPROFIT ATTRIBUTES
THAT TO GREATER HOUSING DENSITY
AND MORE RELIANCE ON PUBLIC
HOUSING. ONE DOCTOR SAYS IT MAY
BE A LANGUAGE BARRIER AND SOCIO
ECONOMIC ISSUE. THE NONPROFIT
IS NOW STEPPING UP PROGRAMING
AND ADVOCACY TO HELP MEET
THE EMERGENCY NEEDS FOR
FAMILIES MEDICAL FAILURE. IN
OUR COMMUNITY THE UNDER FUNDING
OF OUR SAFETY OUR HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES HAVE LED TO THIS
CRISIS, THE CHICANO FEDERATION
ADDS. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT
BORDER CROSSINGS CONTRIBUTE TO
THE INCREASED RATE OF COVE AT
19 IN THE SOUTH BAY. MEANTIME,
FORMER CONGRESSMAN DUNCAN
HUNTER WILL NOT BE REPORTING TO
PRISON AS PLANNED ON MAY 20. A
SAN DIEGO FEDERAL JUDGE
APPROVED A JOINT REQUEST FROM
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND
HUNTER'S ATTORNEY TO DELAY HIS
SURRENDER DATE TO EARLY NEXT
YEAR. HUNTER WAS SENTENCED TO
11 MONTHS IN PRISON FOR
MISUSING CAMPAIGN FUNDS. HUNTER
ASKED FOR THE EXTENSION DUE TO
THE ONGOING CULVERT 19 PANDEMIC
AND THE UNKNOWN IMPACT
THE DISEASE WILL HAVE IN
THE COMING MONTHS. POLICE STILL
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
CAUSED A DEADLY CRASH IN KEARNY
,MASS. THAT HAPPENED JUST
AFTER 6:00 YESTERDAY MORNING ON
NORTHBOUND 8 0 5 JUST SOUTH OF
THE BALBOA EXIT. POLICE SAY A
20 YEAR OLD MAN DRIVING
ACCURATE DIED AT THE SCENE
AFTER SLAMMING INTO A POLE. AT
THIS POINT IT'S UNCLEAR IF
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL PLAYED A ROLE.
AND NEW THIS MORNING THE US
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE HAS JUMPED TO
FOURTEEN POINT SEVEN PERCENT.
THAT IS THE HIGHEST SINCE
THE GREAT DEPRESSION. OVER 20
MILLION PEOPLE 20 MILLION JOBS
WERE LOST IN APRIL. ALL OF THIS
BECAUSE THE CLOSURES BECAUSE OF
THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC.
THE 11 YOUR JOB GROWTH SINCE
THE GREAT RECESSION WAS LOST IN
ONE MONTH. LET'S GO AHEAD AND
CHECK IN WITH HEATHER NOW ON
THIS FRIDAY. HOW OUR WEATHER IS
SHAPING UP AS WE HEAD INTO
THE WEEKEND. IT'S A BIG WEEKEND
MOTHER'S DAY IS A BIG WEEKEND
AND I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE MORE
INTERESTING ON THIS MOTHER'S
DAY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO
WITH MOM TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE
FEELS SPECIAL. BUT IF YOU CAN
GET OUT ONE SUPPORT ONE OF OUR
LOCAL BUSINESSES ORDER SOME
TAKEOUT FROM A LOCAL RESTAURANT
AND I KNOW IF MOM DOES HAVE TO
DO THE DISHES, SHE'S ALREADY
GOING TO BE IN A GREAT MOOD.
LOOK, THIS VISIBILITY PROBLEM
OUT THERE AND DEFINITELY A FEW
LOCATIONS ESPECIALLY ALONG
THE COASTLINE. SO WHEN THAT
HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM BREAKS
DOWN, TYPICALLY THAT ALLOWS FOG
TO MOVE IN ALONG THE COAST IT'S
ACTUALLY STRETCH SEVERAL MILES
INLAND. WE'RE STILL DOWN TO
JUST A THIRD OF A MILE OF
VISIBILITY FROM MYANMAR FOR
KEARNY MESA FOR A PERIOD BEACH
MILE AND A HALF FOR DOWNTOWN
SAN DIEGO AND UP TO SIX MILES
RIGHT NOW IN CARLSBAD. THEN I
TAKE YOU INTO THE AFTERNOON. IT
WILL ACTUALLY BE PRETTY
PLEASANT. WE'LL WORK OUR WAY
THROUGH THOSE CLOUDS. THIS IS
OUR LOOK THIS IS A REMOTE TYPE
MOUNTAIN STARING OFF TO
THE WEST. YOU CAN SEE THE LOW
CLOUDS OUT THERE IN THAT SHOT
IF THE CLOUDS WERE OUT OF
THE WAY, YOU'D ACTUALLY BE ABLE
TO SEE THE OCEAN FROM THAT
CAMERA ANGLE. WE GET INTO
THE AFTERNOON TODAY AND OUR
TEMPERATURES ARE COOLER THAN
WHERE WE WERE YESTERDAY. INLAND
YOU'RE GOING TO START TO FEEL
RELIEF FROM THE HEAT. SEVENTY
SEVEN DEGREES IN CHULA VISTA
TODAY, 79 IN SAN YSIDRO, 77 IN
NATIONAL CITY UP THE COASTLINE
WE GO WE'RE IN THE MID 70S FROM
DOWNTOWN TO LA HOYA. EIGHTY
THREE TODAY AND ALCOHOL. THAT'S
A BIG DIFFERENCE BECAUSE
EARLIER THIS WEEK WE WERE IN
THE UPPER 90S IN THAT PART OF
THE COUNTY. EIGHTY TWO DEGREES
TODAY MIRA MESA BACK TO THE MID
80S FOR RAMONA PAOLI RANCHO
BERNARDO MID 70S THOUGH FROM
DEL MAR NORTH TO OCEANSIDE
ALONG THE BEACHES 82 DEGREES IN
ESCONDIDO, 80 ON PALOMAR
MOUNTAIN 78 AND VISTA UPPER 70S
AND FALLBROOK, THE EAST COUNTY
OUR ALPINE FRIENDS. YEAH, WE'RE
GOING TO TOP OUT AT EIGHTY
THREE DEGREES TODAY HOT IN
THE DESERT STILL THAT IS
THE ONE LOCATION JUST CAN'T
SEEM TO GET ANY RELIEF FROM
THE HEAT. IT'S ON THE WAY. IT'S
JUST NOT GOING TO BE TODAY.
ONE, TWO, THREE IN BORREGO
THAT'S WHY THAT EXCESSIVE HEAT
WARNING IS STAYING IN PLACE
UNTIL 9:00 P.M. THIS EVENING.
DO YOU WANT TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT THE HEAT ADVISORY FOR
THE INLAND AREAS THAT EXPIRED?
I PROBABLY WOULD JUST BECAUSE
OUR TEMPERATURES ARE NOWHERE
NEAR AS WARM TODAY AS THEY WERE
OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS.
YEAH, WE BROKE RECORDS IN ABOUT
FIVE SPOTS YESTERDAY AND TO
SHARE THAT WITH YOU COMING ON
UP. COASTAL FORECASTS GET
COOLER EACH AND EVERY DAY
THROUGH SUNDAY. THAT'S MOTHER'S
DAY AND AS YOU CAN SEE PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES IN THE COUNTY BY
THEN ALONG OUR BEACHES INLAND
FRIENDS WE GO FROM THE LOW 80S
TODAY TO THE 80 MARK TOMORROW
BACK TO THE UPPER 70S ON
SUNDAY. ANOTHER TEMPERATURE
DROP TO TAKE YOU NEXT WEEK WILL
SHOW YOU THAT IN THE EIGHT DAY.
BUT AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE OUTDOOR
PLANS, MAYBE YOU WANTED TO
CELEBRATE MOM WITH A BRUNCH IN
YOUR BACKYARD. HERE'S YOUR
MOTHER'S DAY FORECAST 70S FROM
THE COASTLINE
