my $3.50 triple cheese & bacon sauced & loaded fries. order on the jack app today. on w has the highest positivity rate in the state by experts say that doesn't necessarily mean more hospitalizations or deaths and christians in ukraine observed orthodox easter today under the most difficult circumstances. this is ktvu fox two news at six. good evening, everyone. i'm heather holmes and i'm julie julie haener, nearly a third of the country is experiencing a substantial rise in the number of covid cases, and the bay area is not immune. so what does it mean when it comes to hospitalizations or deaths? greg liggins spoke with some bay area covid experts for some insight, correct. yeah according to the

doctors i spoke with it does not appear. we are headed towards something like what we saw during the previous wave earlier this year, but that does not mean what we're seeing is not of concern because covid can be unpredictable. cruise ships have been a microcosm of how quickly covid-19 spreads. just this month, the ruby princess returned to port in san francisco, following two separate outbreaks that combined more than 200 passengers stricken with the virus. there's no question that we're in another wave. the question is what that wave is going to look like statewide data shows cases are far below their january peak , regardless of vaccination status, yet they are climbing san francisco now faring the worst statewide with a seven day case rate of 6% well above the 3% level considered worrisome, but at the same time, you know when i look at my own hospital, ucsf we probably have about 10 people in the hospital with covid, um compared to about 100

and 50 in the middle of january, and nobody. the last time i checked was on a ventilator, so things are looking really different. hospitalizations typically lag case rates by a week or two and are currently well off winter peaks. as for san francisco, dr chen hong says two factors may account for the city's climbing case rate. one being tourists returning, possibly bringing covid from elsewhere. we have one of the densest populations, actually so that once infection set up shop , it's pretty easy and efficient to spread that around. so that's the second reason both doctors caution. covid can quickly humble anyone making sweeping predictions. but given the increased public protection, either through contracting the virus or through immunization they anticipate the current wave will likely be more of a ripple than a monster where we are right now, and argument can be made that it's not going to be really much of a wave this time. just in terms of the nature of

it only gradually increasing, as opposed to suddenly increasing. another thing both doctors agree on despite mask mandates ending , they say it's still a good idea to wear a good mask when you're inside densely populated spaces. greg liggins ktvu fox two news. alright greg. thank you ball starting tomorrow mask will no longer be required in public commission and board hearing rooms and city facilities in san francisco, the masking requirements for city hall and other city buildings was dropped last month, except for in session meetings, and now that policy to is also easy. masks are still required in certain high risk facilities such as hospitals congregate living facilities in jails. city officials say they will continue to monitor covid-19 cases and transmission and that they may reinstate the masking requirement in santa rosa motorcyclist was killed after crashing into a telephone pole overnight. it happened just after three a.m. at the intersection of petaluma hill road and old petaluma hill road
