March 9, 7:00 p.m. Santa Clara County — the Bay Area county with the highest number of known coronavirus cases — reported six additional cases of the virus and banned large gatherings of individuals.

During a Monday night press conference, officials stated that the county now has 43 cases — up from the 37 it was at earlier in the day — and large gatherings of over 1,000 people are now prohibited.

The ban on gatherings does not apply to airports, shopping malls, grocery stores or offices, and is enforceable by both the sheriff's office and local police departments. It goes into effect on Wednesday, and could last three weeks.

The ban applies to San Jose Sharks games at SAP Center, and the team said in a statement they are not ready to announce whether they will play in the empty venue, or potentially move the games elsewhere.

March 9, 6:30 p.m. The number of coronavirus cases in San Mateo has risen to nine, officials reported Monday.

Four cases are positive, and five are presumptively positive. No other details were released on the patients.

March 9, 6:00 p.m. San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin sent a memo to staff on Monday outlining measures his office will take to avoid the spread of the coronavirus.

His staff has been urged to practice good hygiene and not come into the office if sick, while victims and witnesses are asked to communicate with officials via phone or email to minimize person-to-person contact.

In addition, prosecutors are asked to minimize the time out-of-custody defendants spend in public by considering waiving defendants' next court appearances and opposing release only if a given suspect poses a public safety threat.

Furthermore, for future custody plea deals, prosecutors should "strongly consider credit for time served offers for all probation cases and appropriate paper commitments."

March 9, 4:55 p.m.: The City of San Francisco announced $5 million in emergency spending and a Public Health Order to help combat the spread of COVID-19.

"This emergency fund and Order will focus on reducing risk of exposure to the virus for the many marginally housed seniors, people with underlying health conditions, and individuals experiencing homelessness, living in shelters, single-room occupancy hotels (SROs), and Permanent Supportive Housing," Mayor London Breed's office said in a statement.

The money will be spent on increased cleaning at shelters and SROs and expanding meal delivery for those living in SROs whose health may be jeopardized by going into the community. The Public Health Order will establish new cleaning requirements and "contagion mitigation protocols" for privately owned SROs.

March 9, 3:46 p.m.: Vice President Mike Pence said in a news conference from the White House the 25 children aboard the Grand Princess cruise ship, which has docked in Oakland, are healthy.

Passengers from Canada and the U.K. will be sent back to their home countries on chartered jets, the vice president said.

March 9, 3:30 p.m.: UCSF Medical Center set up two outdoor tents at its 505 Parnassus campus over the weekend to care for patients with respiratory symptoms.

"The tents will be used for triage to make sure that people who come in with respiratory illnesses of any kind don’t spread them to others in our emergency department," UCSF spokesperson Kristen Bole wrote in an email. "Patients will not stay in the tents, other than for initial triage."

Bole added: "This is also a busy time of year for influenza patients, so we will be using them for any patients with respiratory symptoms."
