discouraged but not that surprised. they've seen the numbers coming up and expected to be back on the state's watch list by this morning and they were. but the extra measures they didn't expect those and these measures apply here and to any county in the state on the watch list. surprise, surprise. not so much about sonoma cune making the coronavirus watch list, but that it is hardly alone. >> what else is next? i'm scared. >> reporter: word of the additional closures spread like a virus along fourth street today. it landed with a thud. >> we just heard it. i'm in shock. >> reporter: bridget finally reopened her revive hair collective just five weeks ago with plenty of losses to make up. now with hair salons and barbershops ordered to close she faces the prospect of falling further behind. >> i don't like the way it has been handled. and without warning, without any warning. so are we supposed to lock up

consider any type of in-person learning at all. no hybrid learning, none of that. >> reporter: the second condition states that the district must ensure that the proper safety equipment is available and maintained throughout the year. oakland unified said the governor has promised to deliver. >> we'll be leaning even further and well aware of my responsibilities and well aware of the dynamic that is a state as large as ours. >> reporter: a state that has nearly 1,000 school districts. at least in the case of oakland, any decision to return will be done on a district level not on a school to school basis. lyanne melendez, abc7 news. >> a bay area doctor is raising red flags about flying. he said he experienced a packed plane and few masks. what the airline is telling abc 7 news. plus -- >> my dad was always working and making people happy. wasn't easy but a lot of greatories. >> the wedding bell blues.
