Gavin Newsom on Friday. Newsom’s move came after advocacy organizations and some state lawmakers made repeated calls to the governor to provide protection to renters while residents are being told to shelter in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s moratorium, which goes into effect immediately, ostensibly bans the enforcement of eviction orders through May 31 and prohibits landlords from evicting tenants if they’re unable to pay rent because they’ve contracted COVID-19, are caring for someone who has, have lost wages due to the statewide shelter-in-place order or have had to miss work to care for a child who is no longer in school or daycare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenants rights groups and some lawmakers, however, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11809328/newsoms-eviction-moratorium-useless-misleading-tenants-groups-say\">were quick to sharply criticize Newsom’s moratorium, calling it misleading\u003c/a>. They said although it’s being billed as a moratorium on evictions, the order only delays a tenant’s legal window for responding to an eviction filing in court, and that it doesn’t stop new evictions from being filed. Evictions unrelated to COVID-19, such as owner-move-in under the Ellis Act or for any breach of the lease unrelated to rent payments, would still be allowed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s order won’t preempt any measures from cities or counties that offer more protection than the statewide order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some answers to common questions about renters and tenants protections in the Bay Area:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What do the eviction moratoriums do?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A number of \u003ca href=\"https://antievictionmappingproject.github.io/covid-19-map/\">cities and counties across the Bay Area, as well as states nationwide\u003c/a>, have passed their own restrictions on evictions. Some go further than others in terms of tenant protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, landlords are barred from removing tenants who can’t make rent this month because of reduced income or job loss due to COVID-19. Some examples of that are layoffs due to the shelter-in-place order or from being quarantined, sick or having to pay for medical expenses. The city’s eviction moratorium is in place for 30 days, and renters have an additional month to pay back rent or apply for an extension. Mayor London Breed also has the authority to extend the order, if necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara, a temporary moratorium covers residential and small business tenants within the county limits. The order, which was approved on Tuesday, lasts until May 31 and gives tenants an additional 120 days to pay back rent, if they have lost income related to the coronavirus pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland City Council is holding a special meeting Friday to consider a proposed emergency ordinance that would ban evictions against tenants for any reason, also known as just-cause evictions, until May 31. An exception is if a tenant poses an imminent threat to the health or safety of others on the property. In addition, the proposed moratorium would ban rent increases, late payment fees and evictions for residential and commercial tenants due to coronavirus-related job loss or income reduction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]Evictions already filed in San Francisco and Alameda counties will also be on hold, for now. Both counties’ superior courts and sheriff’s offices say ongoing evictions won’t be enforced during the shelter-in-place order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because local governments have the authority to introduce their own moratorium on evictions, the rules vary depending on where you live. Please visit the website for the city or county that you live in for more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Do I have to pay rent on April 1?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Yes, rent is still due, if you can afford to pay it. City and county officials are urging those who are still healthy and employed to continue their monthly rent payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Temporary eviction bans do not mean rent payments have been waived, and once the public health crisis is over, renters will be expected to pay back rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you cannot make rent on April 1 due to coronavirus-related circumstances, like a reduction in hours or loss of employment, you must declare in writing the reason you cannot pay – and provide documentation – no more than seven days after rent is due.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How do I prove I lost income during COVID-19?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Both the new statewide eviction enforcement moratorium and most of the local moratoriums passed in the Bay Area only apply to tenants who have been financially impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, which means it’s up to the renter to demonstrate proof of lost income. That could be a recent pay stub that shows a loss of hours. It could also be a letter or a text from your employer, showing the business has closed or an application for unemployment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gig workers could show a loss in Lyft rides or Postmates deliveries. With many districts closing schools, according to some of the ordinances, tenants could prove their inability to pay rent because they had to stay home from work to care for their children or increased expenses for child care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again, tenants need to submit documentation within one week of informing their landlord they won’t be making April rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What do I do if I receive an eviction notice during the COVID-19 pandemic?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Tenants who need help with fighting an eviction should immediately contact a local legal aid office. In addition to the statewide eviction enforcement moratorium, most of the local COVID-19 tenant protections vary in strength and depend on where you live. For example, the California moratorium as well as moratoriums in Santa Clara County and San Francisco only protect tenants facing nonpayment and no-fault evictions because of the coronavirus crisis. Landlords can still file an eviction against you, also known as an unlawful detainer, for other reasons like causing a nuisance or damaging property, or if it’s a matter involving violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you do receive an eviction of any kind, tenant advocacy agencies say they are still open and operating in the Bay Area, although most have transitioned their clinics to remote work. They can still be reached by email, phone or on social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What tenant resources are there, and where can I go to get help with an eviction?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>San Francisco:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Eviction Defense Collaborative, (415) 947-0797\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Housing Rights Committee of San Francisco, (415) 703-8644\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>San Francisco Tenants Union, (415) 282-6622\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Chinatown Community Development Center, (415) 984-2728\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Alameda County:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>East Bay Community Law Center: (510) 548-4040, ext. 629\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Eviction Defense Center: (510) 452 4541\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Centro Legal de la Raza: (510) 437-1554\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bay Area Legal Aid: (888) 382-3405\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Law Foundation of Silicon Valley (408) 280-2424\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sacred Heart Community Services, (408) 278-2166\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>San Mateo:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Legal Aid of San Mateo, (650) 558-0915\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>For more tenant assistance, the statewide advocacy nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://www.tenantstogether.org/resource-directory\">Tenants Together has a list of other available resources\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED staff writer Erin Baldassari contributed to this story.

I’ve known her for 10 years. She greeted me like a grandma would, gushing about how I just graduated from college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were in the Westside neighborhood of Long Beach, right off the freeway, where a Filipino grocery sits across the street from a black-owned barbershop. D'agne was raised here, and she’s lived here, on Fashion Avenue, for the past 20 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They call me Miss Fashion,” she said. “Or number one neighbor on the block.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her parents bought two properties on Fashion Avenue in 1974. D'agne said she had been using the second home to offer housing for people in desperate situations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I grab these people off the street, love on them, give them a hot meal and, you know, transition them into a better quality of life,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this week, D'agne was sitting in her car, filled with piles of her belongings. Her neighbor’s lawn was scattered with the contents of D'agne’s entire life. She watched her nephew and niece help haul a washing machine into a huge moving van.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11807534\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11807534\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42162_IMG_2637-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42162_IMG_2637-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42162_IMG_2637-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42162_IMG_2637-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42162_IMG_2637-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42162_IMG_2637-qut-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42162_IMG_2637-qut-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42162_IMG_2637-qut-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42162_IMG_2637-qut-632x474.jpg 632w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42162_IMG_2637-qut-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">D'agne sitting in her car, where she has been sleeping. \u003ccite>(Ariella Markowitz KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Three weeks ago, D'agne received an eviction notice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>D'agne said she took a loan out on her home and wasn’t able to make payments, so the lender went after her house.

The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority is setting up \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@lahomeless/what-lahsa-is-doing-regarding-the-coronavirus-ec5153329012\">hand-washing stations by homeless encampments\u003c/a>.

He said state and federal dollars need to go directly into people’s pockets to ensure people can stay housed or find emergency housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The real work must come from the state and federal government,” Garcia said. “And I could encourage us to work with the federal administration to ensure as robust a financial package as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11807409\" label=\"How to Help Your Community\" hero=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/Getty-1207534742-corona-homeless-1020x714.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>D'agne’s old house is now empty. If a statewide eviction freeze had been mandated just a few weeks earlier, maybe she wouldn’t be in this situation, scrambling to find a place to stay during a pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After they finished moving the washing machine, workers came and said goodbye, sharing some warmth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to embrace who I am and wherever this new life takes me, still be who I am and help others,” D'agne said. “And that's, that's just who I am. So I'm not going to cry. I'm just not. I can't, I can't cry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/03/19/818322136/heres-what-is-in-the-families-first-coronavirus-aid-package-trump-approved\">Federal money\u003c/a> could make all the difference for people like D'agne, who are living without a safety net.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More local laws to protect people from homelessness could be on the way. State assemblyman Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, is \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11807102/newsom-authorizes-california-cities-to-stop-evictions-tenant-advocates-say-more-is-needed\">working on a new\u003c/a> law that orders eviction freezes across California for up to a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles also is building 6,000 beds for homeless people in recreation centers across the city. There are about 27,000 unsheltered homeless people in L.A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a state of emergency.

"content": "\u003cp>California health officials are now allowing anyone who lost a job or work hours because of business closures related to the coronavirus to sign up for health insurance, making it the seventh state to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, 80,000 Californians filed for unemployment in one day – the normal rate is 2,000 a day – and many of them lost their health coverage along with their jobs. Officials at Covered California, the state’s Affordable Care Act marketplace, are expecting hundreds of thousands of people to seek coverage due to job loss through the course of the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think there’s so much fear, so much confusion that we need to step up,” said Peter Lee, executive director of Covered California, in announcing the new special enrollment period that will last through June. “If we need to extend it after that, we will.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More broadly, experts believe the collision of a global health pandemic with an economic downturn will be a stress test for the Affordable Care Act, with favorability likely to grow as more people need and use it. Monday marks 10 years since the health reforms were signed into law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This will be the first recession since the Affordable Care Act went into place,” said Larry Levitt, a health policy expert at the Kaiser Family Foundation. “There’s a safety net for people who lose employer-based insurance that never existed in previous recessions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has various protections in place for people who may find themselves in need of a new plan or struggling to pay their premiums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How do I get coverage if I lost my job?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nStart with Covered California. If you’ve lost your job and have no income, most likely you will qualify for free or low-cost coverage through Medi-Cal, the state’s insurance program for low-income Californians. If you lost hours at work and are earning less money, you may qualify for a subsidy to help you pay for a new plan; if you already have a plan through Covered California, you will likely qualify for additional financial aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you didn’t have insurance when you were employed, you can still buy a new plan now. Previously, only people who lost a health plan after losing their job could sign up through the individual marketplace anytime. During the special enrollment period, anyone can sign up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What if I have a health plan but I miss a payment?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nCalifornia and most other states have a three-month grace period on paying health premiums. If you miss a monthly payment, your insurer will continue to pay your health care bills. If you miss a second or third payment, your insurer can stop paying claims, but can’t cancel your coverage. You have three months to catch up on your payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Coronavirus Coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If I get the coronavirus, will I be facing a big medical bill?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nCalifornia regulators now require insurers to cover the complete cost of testing for the virus, so no copays for consumers. On the other hand, experts estimate the cost of a hospital stay for coronavirus is about $20,000. If you’re insured, out-of-pocket costs are an estimated $1,300. But if you have a high-deductible plan, which a lot of people do, you may be required to pay the maximum annual out-of-pocket cost, which is $6,000 in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Levitt points out, that’s better than having no insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re hearing stories out of Italy, of hospitals needing to ration care,” Levitt said. “We’re not hearing stories of people getting enormous hospital bills in the mail and we are going to see those stories here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is this outbreak going to bankrupt the health insurance industry?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nHealth insurance companies are very concerned about the costs they are facing in this pandemic, says Peter Lee. They are required to spend 80% of their revenues on patient care, so they’re operating on slim profit margins. Companies may be able to offset some of the costs of coronavirus treatment because they won’t have to pay for many elective surgeries that have been canceled. But insurers are already looking to Congress and federal officials for financial help, just like the airlines industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Will my premiums go up next year?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nProbably. It all depends on how many people become severely ill from the virus. If the costs are extreme and insurers see their financial reserves dwindle, they are allowed to raise premiums the following year to refill them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What could this mean for the political future of the Affordable Care Act?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWhile public sentiment toward the health law was generally low in the early years, that changed when Republicans tried to repeal it in 2017. Millions of Americans had come to depend on its protections, and experts believe millions more will come to benefit from it this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Americans are historically ambivalent about government,” said Jonathan Oberlander, a political science professor at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. “In times of desperation, they’re not afraid to embrace high doses of government intervention.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, Oberlander believes the Supreme Court will be very unlikely to strike down the law in the case currently before it. “It is unimaginable to me that the court will rule that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional and throw out the law in the middle of this pandemic,” he said. “That would devastate the legitimacy of the Supreme Court, and the human toll of that decision would be awful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Monday marks 10 years since the health reforms were signed into law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This will be the first recession since the Affordable Care Act went into place,” said Larry Levitt, a health policy expert at the Kaiser Family Foundation. “There’s a safety net for people who lose employer-based insurance that never existed in previous recessions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has various protections in place for people who may find themselves in need of a new plan or struggling to pay their premiums.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If you’ve lost your job and have no income, most likely you will qualify for free or low-cost coverage through Medi-Cal, the state’s insurance program for low-income Californians. If you lost hours at work and are earning less money, you may qualify for a subsidy to help you pay for a new plan; if you already have a plan through Covered California, you will likely qualify for additional financial aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you didn’t have insurance when you were employed, you can still buy a new plan now. Previously, only people who lost a health plan after losing their job could sign up through the individual marketplace anytime. During the special enrollment period, anyone can sign up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What if I have a health plan but I miss a payment?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nCalifornia and most other states have a three-month grace period on paying health premiums. If you miss a monthly payment, your insurer will continue to pay your health care bills. If you miss a second or third payment, your insurer can stop paying claims, but can’t cancel your coverage. You have three months to catch up on your payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On the other hand, experts estimate the cost of a hospital stay for coronavirus is about $20,000. If you’re insured, out-of-pocket costs are an estimated $1,300. But if you have a high-deductible plan, which a lot of people do, you may be required to pay the maximum annual out-of-pocket cost, which is $6,000 in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Levitt points out, that’s better than having no insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re hearing stories out of Italy, of hospitals needing to ration care,” Levitt said. “We’re not hearing stories of people getting enormous hospital bills in the mail and we are going to see those stories here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is this outbreak going to bankrupt the health insurance industry?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nHealth insurance companies are very concerned about the costs they are facing in this pandemic, says Peter Lee. They are required to spend 80% of their revenues on patient care, so they’re operating on slim profit margins. Companies may be able to offset some of the costs of coronavirus treatment because they won’t have to pay for many elective surgeries that have been canceled. But insurers are already looking to Congress and federal officials for financial help, just like the airlines industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Will my premiums go up next year?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nProbably. It all depends on how many people become severely ill from the virus. If the costs are extreme and insurers see their financial reserves dwindle, they are allowed to raise premiums the following year to refill them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What could this mean for the political future of the Affordable Care Act?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWhile public sentiment toward the health law was generally low in the early years, that changed when Republicans tried to repeal it in 2017. Millions of Americans had come to depend on its protections, and experts believe millions more will come to benefit from it this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Americans are historically ambivalent about government,” said Jonathan Oberlander, a political science professor at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. “In times of desperation, they’re not afraid to embrace high doses of government intervention.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, Oberlander believes the Supreme Court will be very unlikely to strike down the law in the case currently before it. “It is unimaginable to me that the court will rule that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional and throw out the law in the middle of this pandemic,” he said. “That would devastate the legitimacy of the Supreme Court, and the human toll of that decision would be awful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The situation improved March 9, when the university started running tests created in its own lab. First, there were 40 tests a day. By Tuesday, there were 60 to 80. But a new shortage looms: The hospital has just \u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/news/as-coronavirus-testing-gears-up-specialized-swabs-running-out/\">500 testing swabs\u003c/a> left.\u003cbr>\n[aside postID=\"news_11807416\" label=\"Coronavirus Testing in California\" hero=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42027_011_KQED_SanFrancisco_Coronavirus_03132020_7054-qut-1020x680.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford pathologist Benjamin Pinsky built an in-house test that has been approved for use by the federal Food and Drug Administration. Since March 3, Stanford has used it to test more than 500 patients, 12% of whom had tested positive as of Tuesday. The university has been running tests for other hospitals as well, including UCSF. It’s a dramatic improvement from a few weeks ago, when Stanford relied on its county lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we had no supply issues, we are ready to sort of ramp up testing at UCSF and could probably serve all of our internal needs and probably reach out to our fellow hospitals in San Francisco in the Bay Area ... but we're faced with a shortage of some of these supplies,\" Fahimi told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blomkalns saw a sick patient in mid-February, before the hospital had its own test kits, who had symptoms of COVID-19 but didn’t qualify for testing under the narrow federal guidelines in place at the time. He went home, only to return to the hospital after his condition deteriorated. This time, he was tested and it came back positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara County, home to Stanford, 175 people have tested positive for COVID-19 and six have died. Late last week, the medical center’s emergency department saw the highest number of patients in one day in its history. Blomkalns doubts it’s because there are more cases in her area. “If you don’t test, you don’t have any cases,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blomkalns worries about staffing shortages as health care workers are inevitably exposed to the virus. As of Tuesday, one doctor in the Stanford ER had tested positive. At UCSF, six health care providers had.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all Bay Area hospitals are seeing a flood of patients. In fact, some have fewer patients than usual, as they have canceled elective surgeries in anticipation of a COVID-19 surge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The doctors treating COVID-19 patients say nearly all who test positive have a cough. They complain of fatigue, body aches, headaches, runny noses and sore throats. While most people are well enough to recover at home, those who get critically ill tend to do so in their second week of symptoms, and can deteriorate very quickly, several doctors noted. “We are recommending that patients get intubated a little earlier than they might otherwise,” said Reyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11806966\" label=\"Look Up Local Food Banks That Need Your Help\" hero=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42178_012_KQED_SanFranciscoMarinFoodBank_03182020_-qut-1020x680.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, officials are asking people who have mild cases of COVID-19 to treat their symptoms at home, as they would a cold or flu, and refrain from seeking care at hospitals. People experiencing shortness of breath, however, should definitely go to the emergency room, said Blomkalns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For children, the criteria may be a bit different. Shortness of breath should trigger a visit, as should altered mental state, excessive irritability, or an inability to eat or drink, said Dr. Nicolaus Glomb, a pediatric emergency care physician at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom said Tuesday that rough projections suggest the state could need anywhere from 4,000 to 20,000 additional beds to treat patients with serious cases of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The testing problems worry Noble, as do the equipment shortages, but not nearly as much as the potential for a lot of sick people. “I’m mostly worried about a tsunami of very ill patients that we’re not equipped to take care of,” said Noble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blomkalns isn’t sure whether or when Stanford might exceed capacity, saying the caseload trajectory may hinge on how aggressively state and national authorities move to cut off routes of community transmission. “It all depends on what happens in the coming weeks and days,” she said. “We know what we need to do, and we’re doing the job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Alice Woelfle and KHN Senior Correspondents JoNel Aleccia and Jenny Gold contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This \u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/\">KHN\u003c/a> story first published on \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiahealthline.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Healthline\u003c/a>, a service of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.chcf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Health Care Foundation\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Since March 3, Stanford has used it to test more than 500 patients, 12% of whom had tested positive as of Tuesday. The university has been running tests for other hospitals as well, including UCSF. It’s a dramatic improvement from a few weeks ago, when Stanford relied on its county lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we had no supply issues, we are ready to sort of ramp up testing at UCSF and could probably serve all of our internal needs and probably reach out to our fellow hospitals in San Francisco in the Bay Area ... but we're faced with a shortage of some of these supplies,\" Fahimi told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blomkalns saw a sick patient in mid-February, before the hospital had its own test kits, who had symptoms of COVID-19 but didn’t qualify for testing under the narrow federal guidelines in place at the time. He went home, only to return to the hospital after his condition deteriorated. This time, he was tested and it came back positive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara County, home to Stanford, 175 people have tested positive for COVID-19 and six have died. Late last week, the medical center’s emergency department saw the highest number of patients in one day in its history. Blomkalns doubts it’s because there are more cases in her area. “If you don’t test, you don’t have any cases,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blomkalns worries about staffing shortages as health care workers are inevitably exposed to the virus. As of Tuesday, one doctor in the Stanford ER had tested positive. At UCSF, six health care providers had.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all Bay Area hospitals are seeing a flood of patients. In fact, some have fewer patients than usual, as they have canceled elective surgeries in anticipation of a COVID-19 surge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The doctors treating COVID-19 patients say nearly all who test positive have a cough. They complain of fatigue, body aches, headaches, runny noses and sore throats. While most people are well enough to recover at home, those who get critically ill tend to do so in their second week of symptoms, and can deteriorate very quickly, several doctors noted. “We are recommending that patients get intubated a little earlier than they might otherwise,” said Reyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

People experiencing shortness of breath, however, should definitely go to the emergency room, said Blomkalns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For children, the criteria may be a bit different. Shortness of breath should trigger a visit, as should altered mental state, excessive irritability, or an inability to eat or drink, said Dr. Nicolaus Glomb, a pediatric emergency care physician at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom said Tuesday that rough projections suggest the state could need anywhere from 4,000 to 20,000 additional beds to treat patients with serious cases of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The testing problems worry Noble, as do the equipment shortages, but not nearly as much as the potential for a lot of sick people. “I’m mostly worried about a tsunami of very ill patients that we’re not equipped to take care of,” said Noble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blomkalns isn’t sure whether or when Stanford might exceed capacity, saying the caseload trajectory may hinge on how aggressively state and national authorities move to cut off routes of community transmission. “It all depends on what happens in the coming weeks and days,” she said. “We know what we need to do, and we’re doing the job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED's Alice Woelfle and KHN Senior Correspondents JoNel Aleccia and Jenny Gold contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If parents and caregivers have the means to keep children home and isolated with them, that is the best way right now of stopping the spread of COVID-19 infection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are already very much at capacity for most U.S. hospitals for what we can handle and critical care.

For those essential workers who can’t afford in-home care, certain employers, schools and community organizations will be providing child care.

Do they know how to think through a problem? Do they know how to communicate with others? \"These are all skills you can practice naturally during the day through things like chores, talking to the grandparents on Skype ... or having a FaceTime party with your friends,” Pope says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Try to create some structure, says Pope, some exercise every day inside or outside the home, while being careful not to congregate with other kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED is offering an at-home learning response to school closures for all children and youth in California.

In addition to checking in with grandparents, try setting up a remote play date for your kids. Some long-distance families stay connected with a Zoom or Google hangout portal that just stays open.

Let them know we're here together as a family for a reason and school is closed so we can keep people safe. And you're not going to do a playdate today because it's our job to keep everyone safe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pope says kids of all ages benefit from some kind of routine. “It might be family time.

How can parents handle full-time care?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Radesky says in her clinic when she's trying to coach families who are raising a child with self-regulation issues or autism, she often talks about games, play and getting outdoors. She suggests games that involve the parent and child having to take some turns and \"having to connect emotionally, having to kind of feed off of one another, and it might not be playing in the classic sense,\" she says. Radesky suggests reading books, including comic books, together, or listening to audiobooks. And all of these things are conversation starters with kids, she says. \"Kids don't always want to sit down and talk about the virus and what their fears are. Sometimes they play that out through being little kids, getting outside and pretending to slay the dragon, and others may just want to draw.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"small\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jenny Radesky, assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Michigan\"]\"Really take some time to get off line with your kids and that'll be healing for everyone.\"[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Radesky herself worries about kids who have autism, learning disabilities or speech and language delays, because they rely on regular therapy to maintain their skills. But she reminds parents they know their child better than anyone. She says ask your school therapist about the kind of basic coaching they do with your child and then work on play, social interventions and language-based work with your child. She advises parents to accept that some of therapies are going to be a little less frequent and says some families may have to rely on telehealth.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Q: What about my own stress as a parent? How can I handle working from home with overseeing my kids learning and coping with my own anxiety?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Radesky says we have to take it easy on ourselves with how much work we're expected to get done if we are teleworking and stressed about tracking the virus news. “It's moving at such a fast pace. We don't have to be connected to it at every single moment,\" she says. \"Really take some time to get offline with your kids and that'll be healing for everyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

If parents and caregivers have the means to keep children home and isolated with them, that is the best way right now of stopping the spread of COVID-19 infection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are already very much at capacity for most U.S. hospitals for what we can handle and critical care.

Radesky suggests reading books, including comic books, together, or listening to audiobooks. And all of these things are conversation starters with kids, she says. \"Kids don't always want to sit down and talk about the virus and what their fears are. Sometimes they play that out through being little kids, getting outside and pretending to slay the dragon, and others may just want to draw.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>It was a scene of confusion and despair early Tuesday morning in front of one of the nation’s largest children’s courthouses in Los Angeles as parents, some with children and babies in tow, stood helplessly outside the closed building. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The notice on the courthouse door says that the court is closed for three days and doesn't really provide a lot of information about what to do,” said Leslie Heimov, executive director of the Children's Law Center of California, who was informed of the temporary closure the night before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heimov and her staff attorneys provide legal representation to children in the child welfare system in Los Angeles and Sacramento. On Tuesday, Heimov found herself explaining the closure to a confused parent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were all told to come to court, so they're showing up, some of them taking public transportation, some with their babies with them,” she said. “Not surprisingly [it’s] a lot of very distressed folks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Edmund D. Edelman Children's Courthouse in Los Angeles County's Monterey Park hears cases that relate to allegations of abuse or neglect of a child. Parents with a scheduled hearing check in at 8:30 a.m. Many show up early to wait throughout the day for their cases to be called. Some are there to regain custody of their children, and others are there to show their progress on a court-mandated plan before reunification can occur. Some parents might also learn at that courthouse that their parental rights have been terminated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the courthouse is closed due to concerns over the spread of the coronavirus, along with others across California, including in \u003ca href=\"https://www.saccourt.ca.gov/general/coronavirus.aspx\">Sacramento\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanmateocourt.org/juvenileCovid19.pdf\">San Mateo\u003c/a> and other Bay Area counties. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children get their own attorney in all dependency court proceedings primarily to ensure that the child’s welfare is paramount. Heimov worried that the precautionary court closures might have other harmful impacts to the children that she and her staff attorneys represent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we worry about is the child's emotional well-being,” Heimov said. “Are they scared? Is there something they need? Do they maybe have a medical condition that we don't know about and we need to make sure they get the proper medications? Have they been separated from their siblings?” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"More Coverage\" tag=\"coronavirus\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heimov said she understands the seriousness of the current public health crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we take our civic duty to flatten the curve extremely seriously, we also recognize that there are some situations where there are equally as important concerns for the welfare of a child or of the family that need to be addressed timely and can't be put on hold indefinitely,” Heimov said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Superior Court confirmed through an administrative order that the courts will remain closed until April 16 except for time-sensitive and essential functions. For child abuse or neglect cases, this means that only the most urgent will get a hearing, especially if it involves the imminent safety of a child. All other routine court functions will be delayed for 30 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This worries Janine Townsend, a grandmother from Perris, California, who relies on a court order for guaranteed visitation with her grandson. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm hoping we get a visit on Friday,” Townsend said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her grandson was removed from his parents and placed with a foster family. The foster mother hasn’t been compliant with her visits, Townsend said. She is worried that it may be a long time before she can see him again. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re saying this can go on for months,” Townsend said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bobby Cagle, who heads the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, the nation’s largest child welfare agency, said visits with family members will continue. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the case that a physical visit cannot occur, department social workers are encouraging families to do virtual visits. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're doing things like telephone calls, FaceTime, Skype,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='left' citation=\"Bobby Cagle, Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services\"]'We know that families are worried about their children. The children [also] need to hear from their families so that they can be calmed in the situation as well.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cagle advised family members to call their social worker if they are told by a foster parent that a visit cannot happen. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they feel like they're not getting what they need from the caseworker, they can always call a supervisor,” Cagle said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cagle acknowledged the extra anxiety of the current shelter-in-place orders might have for families. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that families are worried about their children,” Cagle said. “The children [also] need to hear from their families so that they can be calmed in the situation as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monthly home visits by a social worker to all children in foster care will also continue, Cagle said, and where possible, video conferencing will be used. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cagle said he's also worried about a dramatic drop in the number of calls received by the department hotline number, which gets between 500 to 1,000 calls per day reporting alleged child abuse or neglect. The decrease occurred since public schools closed on Monday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Schools are one of the three primary drivers of the volume of calls that come into our hotline,” Cagle said. “What we have seen is a 30% to 50% decrease in the amount of calls ... over the last couple of days.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers are often the ones that notice when a child might be the victim of abuse, and they call the hotline. Now, children are confined at home, which also worries domestic violence advocates. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Often staying home is not the safest plan because the abuser, the person hurting them, knows where they live or they live together,” said Carmen MacDonald, director of legal services at the Los Angeles Center for Law and Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the home is the place that you're experiencing domestic violence and now you've been told to stay at home, I'm very concerned that survivors are going to be less safe and the children are impacted who are witnessing domestic violence, and now children are home full time,” McDonald said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Carmen MacDonald, Los Angeles Center for Law and Justice\"]'If the home is the place that you're experiencing domestic violence and now you've been told to stay at home, I'm very concerned that survivors are going to be less safe and the children are impacted who are witnessing domestic violence, and now children are home full time.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to domestic violence, schools also play a critical role in helping women get out of dangerous situations, she said. But with the closures, “the child's not going to school to tell their teacher what's happening at home.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles Superior Court announced that all restraining orders due to expire would automatically be extended 21 days, which McDonald applauded. Yet she said she's worried about women who need a hearing and won’t get one. Police stations can issue an order that tells the accused abuser to “stay away” for up to seven days, but this is not the same level of protection a victim can get through the courts, which has other remedies available to help the victim stay safe and protect her children. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We already have a population that is isolated that's now being forced into further isolation,” McDonald said. “And often the batterer is the one telling them no one's going to help you and now that’s really true.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you suspect a child is the victim of abuse or neglect, call DCFS child protection hotline in L.A.

On Tuesday, Heimov found herself explaining the closure to a confused parent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were all told to come to court, so they're showing up, some of them taking public transportation, some with their babies with them,” she said. “Not surprisingly [it’s] a lot of very distressed folks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Edmund D. Edelman Children's Courthouse in Los Angeles County's Monterey Park hears cases that relate to allegations of abuse or neglect of a child. Parents with a scheduled hearing check in at 8:30 a.m. Many show up early to wait throughout the day for their cases to be called. Some are there to regain custody of their children, and others are there to show their progress on a court-mandated plan before reunification can occur. Some parents might also learn at that courthouse that their parental rights have been terminated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For child abuse or neglect cases, this means that only the most urgent will get a hearing, especially if it involves the imminent safety of a child. All other routine court functions will be delayed for 30 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This worries Janine Townsend, a grandmother from Perris, California, who relies on a court order for guaranteed visitation with her grandson. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm hoping we get a visit on Friday,” Townsend said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her grandson was removed from his parents and placed with a foster family.

The decrease occurred since public schools closed on Monday. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Schools are one of the three primary drivers of the volume of calls that come into our hotline,” Cagle said. “What we have seen is a 30% to 50% decrease in the amount of calls ... over the last couple of days.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers are often the ones that notice when a child might be the victim of abuse, and they call the hotline. Now, children are confined at home, which also worries domestic violence advocates. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Often staying home is not the safest plan because the abuser, the person hurting them, knows where they live or they live together,” said Carmen MacDonald, director of legal services at the Los Angeles Center for Law and Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the home is the place that you're experiencing domestic violence and now you've been told to stay at home, I'm very concerned that survivors are going to be less safe and the children are impacted who are witnessing domestic violence, and now children are home full time,” McDonald said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Yet she said she's worried about women who need a hearing and won’t get one. Police stations can issue an order that tells the accused abuser to “stay away” for up to seven days, but this is not the same level of protection a victim can get through the courts, which has other remedies available to help the victim stay safe and protect her children. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We already have a population that is isolated that's now being forced into further isolation,” McDonald said. “And often the batterer is the one telling them no one's going to help you and now that’s really true.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you suspect a child is the victim of abuse or neglect, call DCFS child protection hotline in L.A.

So far, the city has communicated with 31 hoteliers who said they have rooms available for rent, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first priority will be given to people who have tested positive for COVID-19 or who are awaiting test results but don’t have a home where they can quarantine alone. This could include people experiencing homelessness, living in residential hotels or other congregate settings, such as shelters. But it could also include firefighters, police officers or health workers who don’t want to expose their families to the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A coalition of San Francisco County supervisors is also pushing for the city to offer hotel rooms to anyone who is homeless and doesn’t have anywhere to shelter in place – regardless of whether they are experiencing symptoms of the virus or are considered at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe that just like you and I, they should have an opportunity to keep themselves safe,” said Supervisor Hillary Ronen. “[They should be able] to shelter in place and keep all of us safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 300 rooms were available as of Monday, Rhorer said. The city has leased rooms for 60 people so far. The city hopes to allow people to move into more rooms as early as Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials also intend to use hotel rooms to relieve pressure on hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Grant Colfax, the head of San Francisco’s Department of Health, said “twenty to thirty” patients at Laguna Honda Hospital right now are well enough to get care outside of the hospital and will be offered hotel rooms. He described the patients as people “physically and mentally able to be supported outside a hospital setting,” who are not under investigation for having the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news came as counties across the Bay Area mobilize resources to protect residents who are homeless during the coronavirus pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office announced last week that it would spend up to $150 million in emergency funding to lease hotel rooms and purchase trailers to house people experiencing homelessness and help slow the spread of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state is using $50 million to buy about 1,300 travel trailers and to help cities and counties lease hotel rooms, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday. More than 950 hotels and motels across the state have been identified as potential lease sites, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Sandy Perry, president of the Affordable Housing Network of Santa Clara County\"]‘If this begins to spread, there will be a lot of casualties. So people are upset and fearful.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state is also distributing $100 million of the emergency funding to cities and counties to support shelter services and respond to the outbreak among homeless residents in their communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assuming a potential 56% attack rate, state public health officials anticipate some 60,000 homeless people could contract COVID-19, Newsom said, just one of the many scenarios the state is modeling. If it manifests, California would need upwards of 19,000 new hospital beds, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That creates a deep point of anxiety for the existing population but moreover for our health care delivery system,” Newsom said, “and our capacity to move people in and out of the shelter safely without contacting other people and putting them at risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The intensified search for places where people living in encampments and shelters can self-isolate came just three days after a man in Santa Clara County became the first person in California experiencing homelessness to die of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Santa Clara County’s Public Health Department declined to say where the man was living or if he could have exposed others to the virus. But news of his death had many people in the South Bay’s homeless communities on edge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public health officials said that the virus can spread more quickly in shelters and encampments because of the close proximity to others and limited access to clean water and soap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeless people are also more vulnerable to the disease because many have underlying health conditions. Last year, 12% of the county’s homeless population was 61 years old or older, according to the\u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/osh/ContinuumofCare/ReportsandPublications/Documents/2015%20Santa%20Clara%20County%20Homeless%20Census%20and%20Survey/2019%20SCC%20Homeless%20Census%20and%20Survey%20Report.pdf\"> county’s biennial homeless count\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If this begins to spread, there will be a lot of casualties,” said Sandy Perry, president of the Affordable Housing Network of Santa Clara County. “So people are upset and fearful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here is what Bay Area counties are doing to protect residents who are homeless and how you can help:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#sf\">San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#sj\">San Jose\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#sc\">Santa Clara\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#al\">Alameda\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#sm\">San Mateo\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#so\">Sonoma\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#cc\">Contra Costa\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#help\">How You Can Help\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"sf\">\u003c/a>San Francisco\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>On March 10, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11806002/coronavirus-sf-to-provide-quarantine-spots-for-homeless-residents\">San Francisco city officials announced\u003c/a> they had leased 30 RVs to house people who were confirmed to have contracted COVID-19 and needed to self-isolate.

So far, the city has communicated with 31 hoteliers who said they have rooms available for rent, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first priority will be given to people who have tested positive for COVID-19 or who are awaiting test results but don’t have a home where they can quarantine alone. This could include people experiencing homelessness, living in residential hotels or other congregate settings, such as shelters. But it could also include firefighters, police officers or health workers who don’t want to expose their families to the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A coalition of San Francisco County supervisors is also pushing for the city to offer hotel rooms to anyone who is homeless and doesn’t have anywhere to shelter in place – regardless of whether they are experiencing symptoms of the virus or are considered at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We believe that just like you and I, they should have an opportunity to keep themselves safe,” said Supervisor Hillary Ronen. “[They should be able] to shelter in place and keep all of us safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 300 rooms were available as of Monday, Rhorer said. The city has leased rooms for 60 people so far. The city hopes to allow people to move into more rooms as early as Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials also intend to use hotel rooms to relieve pressure on hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Grant Colfax, the head of San Francisco’s Department of Health, said “twenty to thirty” patients at Laguna Honda Hospital right now are well enough to get care outside of the hospital and will be offered hotel rooms. He described the patients as people “physically and mentally able to be supported outside a hospital setting,” who are not under investigation for having the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news came as counties across the Bay Area mobilize resources to protect residents who are homeless during the coronavirus pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office announced last week that it would spend up to $150 million in emergency funding to lease hotel rooms and purchase trailers to house people experiencing homelessness and help slow the spread of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state is using $50 million to buy about 1,300 travel trailers and to help cities and counties lease hotel rooms, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday. More than 950 hotels and motels across the state have been identified as potential lease sites, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If it manifests, California would need upwards of 19,000 new hospital beds, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That creates a deep point of anxiety for the existing population but moreover for our health care delivery system,” Newsom said, “and our capacity to move people in and out of the shelter safely without contacting other people and putting them at risk.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The intensified search for places where people living in encampments and shelters can self-isolate came just three days after a man in Santa Clara County became the first person in California experiencing homelessness to die of COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Santa Clara County’s Public Health Department declined to say where the man was living or if he could have exposed others to the virus. But news of his death had many people in the South Bay’s homeless communities on edge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public health officials said that the virus can spread more quickly in shelters and encampments because of the close proximity to others and limited access to clean water and soap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeless people are also more vulnerable to the disease because many have underlying health conditions.

She’s calling for more guidance from the state about whom to prioritize, she said, to help with the crush of calls that local public health officers are triaging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Los Angeles County, for instance, \u003ca href=\"http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/acd/ncorona2019/index.htm\">the public health laboratory\u003c/a> “will test specimens from high risk patients requiring a rapid public health response if they test positive,” according to guidance from the county. Any other patients with fever and symptoms of a respiratory illness who may have been exposed should be tested by a commercial laboratory, instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Kaiser Permanente, whom to test is up to clinicians, spokesperson Marc Brown told CalMatters in an email. Tests are only available to Kaiser members with a doctor’s order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Priority goes to hospitalized patients as well as people experiencing symptoms who also have additional risk factors such as being over 60 years old, heart or lung disease, or who are immunocompromised. Anyone exposed to someone with a confirmed or suspected case of the novel coronavirus, or who recently traveled somewhere affected by it, will also be prioritized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11806832\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1159px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42017_Image-from-iOS-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1159\" height=\"773\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11806832\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42017_Image-from-iOS-qut.jpg 1159w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42017_Image-from-iOS-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42017_Image-from-iOS-qut-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42017_Image-from-iOS-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1159px) 100vw, 1159px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Medical workers at Kaiser Permanente French Campus test patients for the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, at a drive-thru testing facility in San Francisco on March 13, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Where can I get tested?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People should first check with their doctor’s office to ask whether they’re collecting specimens, said Romero with Placer County. If their doctor is not doing testing, they can try calling their local urgent care. Romero said people should not go to the emergency department just for testing. That is what would cause unnecessary overflooding in the ER, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some counties, like Los Angeles and San Diego, ask that people who do not have a primary care provider call the county’s 2-1-1 line for information on where they can find providers with tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutter Health, for example, is asking that its patients schedule a video visit with a doctor to check whether they meet testing criteria. If a person does meet the criteria, then doctors make arrangements with patients about specific locations where they can go for testing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some health systems have also opened \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/03/16/kaiser-opens-drive-thru-covid-19-testing-but-members-only/\">drive-thru testing\u003c/a> for its members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is testing free? What if you’re uninsured?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, Newsom announced that all screening and testing fees would be waived for about 24 million Californians. That includes co-pays and deductibles for a hospital and doctor office visit associated with the test. But if a person is sick and needs further treatment and care, that cost is not required to be waived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s order does not apply to people who work for large employers and whose private health plans are regulated by the federal government. That said, an \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/6201\">emergency coronavirus response bill \u003c/a>pending in Congress would require that testing and all related fees be covered by all forms of insurance without out-of-pocket costs for the patient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Public Health has said that people who are uninsured and have symptoms should contact their local health department for information on how to get tested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some health clinics, like the AltaMed group in Southern California, are waiving test fees even for patients who are uninsured, but again, tests are only given to people who are showing symptoms. Also, clinics can help enroll patients in any available county program that may cover fees, and clinics themselves often charge on a sliding scale, which means costs are based on a person’s ability to pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Testing through the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/coronavirus/2020/03/california-coronavirus-test-kits-hospitals-newsom-triage-website-verily-quest/\">Verily screening pilot program\u003c/a> screening in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties is a philanthropic effort and also free to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the deal with Verily’s triage site? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Confusion has dogged the rollout of a triage site aimed at directing concerned Californians to testing. At first, President Donald Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force-press-conference-3/\">said Friday that\u003c/a> “Google has 1,700 engineers working” on a screening website that would be “very quickly done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, it was Verily, the life sciences subsidiary of Google’s parent company Alphabet, behind the effort, and the site \u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/13/21179118/google-coronavirus-testing-screening-website-drive-thru-covid-19\">was not a nationwide screening tool\u003c/a> but one specifically for Californians in the Bay Area. Newsom announced the triage website on Sunday, where people can fill out a questionnaire and schedule an appointment at one of two test sites in Santa Clara and San Mateo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, however, demand far outstrips availability: 174,000 people visited the website in the first day since it opened, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CAgovernor/videos/560533608146352/?__tn__=-R\">Newsom said Monday\u003c/a>. 174 people filled out the questionnaire. 50 people signed up for specific appointments — and 30 people actually showed up. \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CAgovernor/videos/560533608146352/?__tn__=-R\">Newsom said\u003c/a> he expects testing to grow by 200 to 400 tests per site, and in a press briefing on Tuesday, he projected the Verily mobile test sites had conducted 320 tests that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said Monday the whole idea is to expand these mobile test sites beyond the Bay Area. “The good news is operationally, things went fairly well, not perfectly, but fairly well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What will this test actually tell me?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Philip Felgner, UC Irvine School of Medicine\"]'Something that is missing from our knowledge of this virus is how many people are exposed to it.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current test for the novel coronavirus looks for the virus itself by sniffing out the virus’s genetic code. These tests can tell you if you have an active infection. What they can \u003cem>not \u003c/em>tell you is whether you’ve been infected and recovered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Something that is missing from our knowledge of this virus is how many people are exposed to it,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.faculty.uci.edu/profile.cfm?faculty_id=5085\">Philip Felgner\u003c/a>, director of the vaccine research and development center at the UC Irvine School of Medicine. That data is key for understanding the breadth of the outbreak, and just how lethal it really is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So how will we be able to track the virus?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers across the world are working on \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/02/singapore-claims-first-use-antibody-test-track-coronavirus-infections\">developing another kind of test\u003c/a> — one that looks for signs of the immune response to the virus, called antibodies. This kind of test — a serological test — would allow scientists to search out people who have recovered from less severe or asymptomatic cases of the virus who never ended up in a hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could help scientists identify chains of viral transmission, home in on hotspots of the outbreak, and would be a first step towards a fuller understanding of why some people recover more readily than others. \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/11/cdc-developing-serologic-tests-that-could-reveal-full-scope-of-u-s-coronavirus-outbreak/\">\u003cem>STAT \u003c/em>has reported\u003c/a> that the CDC is working on developing two of these tests, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/02/singapore-claims-first-use-antibody-test-track-coronavirus-infections\">\u003cem>Science \u003c/em>has reported that \u003c/a>scientists in Singapore used a serological test to track the outbreak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here in California, Felgner at UC Irvine has teamed up with a company \u003ca href=\"https://www.sinobiological.com/sars-coronavirus-a-6081.html\">called SinoBiological\u003c/a> to create tests that can hunt for antibodies to nine different infectious agents including other coronaviruses like ones that cause \u003ca href=\"https://www.who.int/ith/diseases/sars/en/\">SARS\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/mers/index.html\">MERS\u003c/a>, as well as viruses that lead to similar symptoms, like influenza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Felgner and a research institute in San Francisco \u003ca href=\"https://vitalant.org/Home.aspx\">called Vitalant\u003c/a> intend to validate these tests and other, similar ones, by running them with leftover samples of donated blood from Seattle. Another test will look for the kinds of antibodies that can neutralize infections, giving a sense for how effective the immune response actually is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Busch, \u003ca href=\"https://research.vitalant.org/Investigators/Individual-Investigators/Michael-P-Busch,-MD,-PhD.aspx\">director of the Vitalant Research Institute\u003c/a>, clarifies that these tests aren’t to \u003cem>screen \u003c/em>the blood. “We don’t screen blood purposefully for this virus, it’s not a transfusion transmissible agent,” Busch said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal, instead, is to survey communities to find out just how far the virus spreads, and for how long. “What it does show you is how many people were infected,” Busch said. That changes the calculus for what we understand about how often the virus causes severe symptoms, or kills people — and where exactly to be looking for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

If their doctor is not doing testing, they can try calling their local urgent care. Romero said people should not go to the emergency department just for testing. That is what would cause unnecessary overflooding in the ER, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some counties, like Los Angeles and San Diego, ask that people who do not have a primary care provider call the county’s 2-1-1 line for information on where they can find providers with tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutter Health, for example, is asking that its patients schedule a video visit with a doctor to check whether they meet testing criteria. If a person does meet the criteria, then doctors make arrangements with patients about specific locations where they can go for testing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some health systems have also opened \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/03/16/kaiser-opens-drive-thru-covid-19-testing-but-members-only/\">drive-thru testing\u003c/a> for its members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is testing free? What if you’re uninsured?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, Newsom announced that all screening and testing fees would be waived for about 24 million Californians. That includes co-pays and deductibles for a hospital and doctor office visit associated with the test. But if a person is sick and needs further treatment and care, that cost is not required to be waived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s order does not apply to people who work for large employers and whose private health plans are regulated by the federal government. That said, an \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/6201\">emergency coronavirus response bill \u003c/a>pending in Congress would require that testing and all related fees be covered by all forms of insurance without out-of-pocket costs for the patient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Public Health has said that people who are uninsured and have symptoms should contact their local health department for information on how to get tested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some health clinics, like the AltaMed group in Southern California, are waiving test fees even for patients who are uninsured, but again, tests are only given to people who are showing symptoms. Also, clinics can help enroll patients in any available county program that may cover fees, and clinics themselves often charge on a sliding scale, which means costs are based on a person’s ability to pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Testing through the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/coronavirus/2020/03/california-coronavirus-test-kits-hospitals-newsom-triage-website-verily-quest/\">Verily screening pilot program\u003c/a> screening in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties is a philanthropic effort and also free to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s the deal with Verily’s triage site? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Confusion has dogged the rollout of a triage site aimed at directing concerned Californians to testing. At first, President Donald Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force-press-conference-3/\">said Friday that\u003c/a> “Google has 1,700 engineers working” on a screening website that would be “very quickly done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, it was Verily, the life sciences subsidiary of Google’s parent company Alphabet, behind the effort, and the site \u003ca href=\"https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/13/21179118/google-coronavirus-testing-screening-website-drive-thru-covid-19\">was not a nationwide screening tool\u003c/a> but one specifically for Californians in the Bay Area. Newsom announced the triage website on Sunday, where people can fill out a questionnaire and schedule an appointment at one of two test sites in Santa Clara and San Mateo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, however, demand far outstrips availability: 174,000 people visited the website in the first day since it opened, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CAgovernor/videos/560533608146352/?__tn__=-R\">Newsom said Monday\u003c/a>. 174 people filled out the questionnaire. 50 people signed up for specific appointments — and 30 people actually showed up. \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CAgovernor/videos/560533608146352/?__tn__=-R\">Newsom said\u003c/a> he expects testing to grow by 200 to 400 tests per site, and in a press briefing on Tuesday, he projected the Verily mobile test sites had conducted 320 tests that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said Monday the whole idea is to expand these mobile test sites beyond the Bay Area. “The good news is operationally, things went fairly well, not perfectly, but fairly well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What will this test actually tell me?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Hearings for immigrants who are not in detention have been postponed until April. Immigration courts in New York, Atlanta, Houston and elsewhere will close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, ICE says it is taking precautions to protect detainees. The agency has temporarily suspended social visits at all of its detention centers. As of Tuesday, ICE says, there were no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in its detention facilities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in New Jersey, one staffer at the Elizabeth Detention Center has voluntarily self-quarantined after feeling ill, and has been tested for the COVID-19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would seem to be only a matter of time before the virus makes its way into these particular settings,” said Anwen Hughes, an attorney with the nonprofit Human Rights First who represents immigrants being held in Elizabeth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s the opposite of social distancing” at the facility, Hughes said. “It’s like social piling on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not just immigrant advocates who want to see ICE detainees released. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people think that, well, these are, you know, controlled locked facilities and you just lock them up and seal them off and the virus isn’t going to get in. Well, it’s not that simple,” said Dr. Josiah Rich, an epidemiologist at Brown University who studies infectious disease in correctional facilities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not just the detainees who are at risk if there’s an outbreak, Rich says, because an influx of sick detainees could overwhelm local medical facilities. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So you’ll have a whole group of people that are going to be infected because of rapid spread in that correctional and detention facility,” he said. “And then all of sudden, those people will get sick all at once.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.
