lot of concern as they may help spread the virus. >> today a push to keep the crowds at bay. nbc bay area's christie smith has a look. >> reporter: a sunny weekend in oakland at lake merritt with cheney tim stops by. he's heard the city has asked people to give the lake a break amid the pandemic. >> i understand their position, but people are tired of being cramped up in their apartment. >> reporter: the city has taken steps like restricting parking. residents are urged to avoid social gatherings in backyards, parks, and elsewhere and to keep a distance. the roots community health center in oakland shared data this week that in july, 40% of covid cases were tied to people who were at family events and parties. that's almost double the rate of those who get it at work. >> i see folks not wearing masks at all, sharing food, sharing drinks, sharing smokes. oakland, we got to do better than this. >> reporter: parts of east

oakland saw a big surge. meanwhile, city teams were expected to address vendors without permits, and today park ambassadors walk the area near the lake. >> i get it, but as long as people are social distancing, like we have to have somewhere to be able to go in the city. >> reporter: meantime, people stopped by for fresh air and sun. this woman sat alone and said she follows the guidelines but takes steps to not feel isolated. >> that's the least we can do right now because we want to get through this. >> reporter: in oakland, christie smith, nbc bay area news. right now let's take a closer look at alameda county. this map shows the cases by zip code. the darker areas have the higher case rates, and you can see that includes most of oakland. these zip codes are reporting upwards of 2,000 cases o cases. among the cities with relatively few cases, berkeley, nice job. dublin, very nice job.

hospitalizations on the rise as well. the blue bars represent the number of patients hospitalized with the virus each day. let's go back to june 18th. it starts out. it's got a bit of a plateau. all of a sudden it jumps up towards the end of june. now take a look at that last blue bar down there. that is july 23rd, thursday. a record 201 patients hospitalized with the virus. that's nearly triple the number of patients in just a month or so. flags at the state capitol will be at half-staff in honor of an alameda county sheriff's deputy who died from the virus. deputy oscar rocha reportedly contracted the virus in june during an outbreak at the santa rita jail in dublin. he died thursday night. less than 24 hours later, the department announced that a non-sworn staff member also died from the virus. today governor newsom said the deaths are a real and painful reminder of the risks that our essential workers face. new at 6:00, san quentin state prison is reporting another covid-19 inmate death. that brings the total number of

deadly coronavirus cases at san quentin to 17. the prison has reported 2,142 positive tests so far. the number of new cases in the last 14 days is 80. that makes nearly 630 active cases among those in custody. the state prison system is facing criticism for its handling of the crisis. covid-19 testing continued in santa clara county this weekend as more test sites prepare to open up. this was the scene at san jose high school today as the demand for tests remains very high. in fact, next week the county is adding two additional testing sites in san jose, one in gilroy. those sites will use a new wristband system so people don't have to wait in line all day long. they can just come back at the designated time. the idea is to have fewer people waiting around at the sites. >> previous to the wristband system we had people waiting two-plus hours in line in the heat outside with a bunch of people. so now, you know, today i didn't

see anyone wait more than 30 minutes. >> that's an improvement. this was the second week of the wristband system being used at a large pop-up site. we're told the site tested almost 800 people today. tests are free. you do not need an appointment, symptoms, or insurance. they just want to test you. here's a look at where the sites are opening this week. they'll all open up starting on tuesday, the 28th, will operate until friday, the 31st. some serious precaution taken today at a petaluma fire station with good reason. this after a firefighter tested positive for covid-19 earlier this month. the station where the firefighter worked is now closed for cleaning. you can see crews in full bodysuits and masks sanitizing this whole station. all crew members who were in close contact with that firefighter, they're now also in isolation. while the station is shuttered, the nearby rancho adobe fire department will help respond to emergency calls. a follow-up to a controversial police shooting in vallejo. a warning, though, that it may

be dpuisturbing to watch. vallejo police have released unedited body camera footage from the night that 22-year-old sean monterrosa was shot and killed. the footage shows officers responding to a walgreens on reports of looting the night of june 2nd. only the face of the officer who fired five rounds at monterrosa is blurred. later monterrosa is seen handcuffed and bleeding as paramedics tend to him. the family's lawyer says the video leaves out a crucial piece of the puzzle. what monterrosa was doing before he was shot. >> that is quite shocking to us that you have video of an officer shooting, but you don't have any videos that took place before. then you have videos of the body after you shot with all the gory details, none of which is helping our assessment of what happened. >> we reached out to the vallejo police department for more information about the officers involved, and the department said, quote, vpd is unable to

provide any information related to personnel matters as such matters are confidential. a follow-up now to the burning of a san francisco sculpture back in june. city fire officials say that the june 23rd burning of the san francisco spire sculpture was caused by a human. they aren't saying, though, whether it was arson or maybe an accident. flames climbed the 100-foot spire near inspiration point and spread to surrounding trees. the installation is badly damaged but will likely be repaired and remain in place. an accelerant was not used in that fire. the case remains open. another music festival canceled because of the pandemic. this time it's the grassroots festival hardly strictly. the annual festival usually takes place at golden gate park, but this year it was scheduled for early october. now that's been called off. in its place will be an online festival with new performances and footage from past shows. hitting the cardio machine, lifting weights, some of us have been missing workouts ever since

violence. >> we can expect every night to either wake up choking or whatnot just because the tear gas is coming in. it's hurtful. it's sad. it's saddening what's going on. >> citizens have flooded local news stations with complaints. a lot of officials criticizing the use of federal agents in that city, and they've asked them to leave. the federal response to protests does not appear to be anywhere near an end. today in palo alto, the wall of moms got together in honor of the protesters in portland. mothers and supporters waved signs and held flowers near the main entrance to stanford. it was part of what activists are calling a national day of solidarity with portland. similar events are set for later tonight in downtown oakland. oakland already has its own wall of moms chapter. the community college district held its 12th annual graduation ceremony. it was played at 11:00 this morning. this year's theme, and still i rise. strength, resiliency, and beauty in the black community.

i think between now and 11:00 our time tonight, the storm moving inland, we'll see hanna transition back to a tropical storm but potentially along the texas-mexico border we could see almost a foot of rain coming down. this is a tremendous rain producing storm even though the winds may not be as strong as other hurricanes have been obviously in the past. it's not quite as strong wind-wise but will pack a punch with potential for flooding rains. here's the latest on hurricane douglas. you see the winds at 90 miles per hour. this will weaken slightly as it moves off to the west. we have hurricane warnings for the island of oahu. by 8:00 tomorrow night we'll see winds of 75 miles per hour and perhaps a bigger impact on to the west near kauai. princeville, hanalei bay, and that island too will likely see its watch upgraded to a home, much more g tomorrow tranquil view of our 60s and 70s bayside and numbers overall even from the bay to

coast are trending warmer as we see a little less of a sea breeze influence to wrap up the weekend. san francisco, you've got the chilly temperatures, the fog coming back in. some mist and drizzle likely later tonight into tomorrow morning. walnut creek after a high of 92, still 87 degrees. san jose, you see some high clouds out there, 76. good news with the sea breeze. that's enough of a breeze to keep our air quality in the good range. still a little bit of high altitude smoke but nothing near ground level that's causing any air pollution issues for tomorrow. notice the winds still onshore. that will bring in the low clouds into san francisco across the bay for the morning with 50s to start. and more or less like we saw today, we'll see the low clouds hanging out on the coast and sunshine inland. temperatures around the bay area tomorrow, mid-80s for san jose. closer to morgan hill we should see temperatures closer to 90 degrees. warmest places tomorrow, concord, antioch, tri-valley, low 90s in range. 70s bayside from oakland into hayward. similar spread of temperatures from san mateo over to daly city

and san francisco. 60s and 70s. and north bay valleys ranging from the 80s around santa rosa and napa. but as you head farther inland, clearlake and ukiah still in the 90s. keep in mind sierra heading up towards the cascades there near mt. shasta, another day of thunderstorms possible. mid level moisture keeps coming in during the afternoon. daytime heating providing that aspect of the weather off to our north and east. interestingly our temperatures actually may cool a little bit as an impressive storm by late july standards brings rain to the pacific northwest. that should also super size our sea breeze at least by midweek. then you see the trend by the first day in august next weekend, we warm up once again. so san francisco not much change. low clouds, drizzle, and mist for the night and early morning hours. temperatures staying in the mid-60s. valleys trending just a little bit warmer over the next couple of days. we'll see that midweek drop in temperatures as a bit more wind and cooling, and then rebounding as we head towards next weekend. so there you go. two hurricanes we're tracking here, one impacting the texas

gulf coast tonight, another one approaching hawaii. typically these hurricanes, the peak season is late august to september. so this is unusual that we're seeing this much activity this time of year so early and relatively strong. >> i saw one of rob's tweet about the gang is back together for the first time since january. >> that's right. >> that's very true, yes. it's good to see you. >> good to have you, anoushah. >> thank you, guys. still ahead, he was a star on daytime tv for decades and part of millions of americans' mornings. tonight we look at the life of regis philbin.
