A lot of us here at home are feeling the affects of the coronavirus and more and more of us are staying in to practice social distancing.

Our neighbors to the west of us are under similar but tighter constraints.

We visited Tahoe City Sunday morning to find out how residents there are handling all of the changes.

"Today I'm walking my sons dog, his name is Cooper. I'm up here because I have a second home on the West Shore. Right now I'm unemployed, I'm a dental hygienist and that's considered non-essential right now. So I came up here, because the bay area is a hot spot," says Lori Armanini.

Armanini says that she is part of the at higher risk population, so staying at her home on the West Shore seemed to be a safer option.

Other residents in the area, say they too are trying to do their best to stay entertained with so many closures.

"I walk the dog,and just sit outside. Really try to follow the rules, like stay away. Try to do the right thing, it's getting harder and harder but that's about it. Just getting out, but getting out by my house," says Scott Hudson.

Hudson is currently unemployed following the shelter in place order, and he fears that he'll lose his house in the next month.

"I've been here 40 years, so I lose everything now. Because you told me not to go to my job... thanks," says Hudson.

Residents in the area say it's hard to ask for help, but they hope help will come sooner rather than later.

"It's so hard to ask for a handout, oh I need help just for a month. I mean that would really help if they'd send that $1,200. So I can pay my landlord and stuff for that month," says Hudson.
