being watched or monitored by the state. only san francisco and san mateo are not on either list. well, building a better bay area during the coronavirus pandemic means balancing the needs of our economy and our health. that balancing act and the latest action by the governor are really frustrating small business owners. this time yesterday businesses in santa clara county, they were just hours away from reopening. today they have to plan to reclose. abc7 news reporter julian glover. >> hi, good morning, kumasi. the bottom line is that these business owners are dealing with an incredible amount of whip lash when it comes to reopening and now reclosing. business owners we spoke with in santa clara county at this point they are frustrated by the uncertainty and blown away by the lack of coordination. earlier this month, county health officials confirming gyms, hair salons, barbershops, tattoo parlors. they would be able to reopen july 13th, that was yesterday.

marked the first time they were able to reopen in four months. but just hours into their reopening, the public health department confirmed that santa clara county would likely be added to the state's watch list by wednesday and that meant all of those just open businesses would have to close in 48 hours. >> you don't want to look for another career if they don't ever let me be a personal trainer and coach people. this is what i love. >> nothing is guaranteed. you know, you can open tomorrow but by the end of the day, you might have to close again. >> and go ahead and add worship centers and shopping malls to the list of businesses that have to close to be clear, though, this is not just an emotional roller coaster. as you heard the business owners kind of emotional there. a financial nightmare for these business owners, too. on mid day live monday morning as they were excited to reopen, the business owner told me they were closed since march 15th. they barely got by during the closure, so excited to welcome patrons back into the fitness

studio but now this. they have to close back down, again, by tomorrow. how long this time, no one knows and it is that uncertainty that is really getting to those business owners. reporting live this morning, julian glover, abc7 news. >> we definitely feel for them. thank you. happening today, the gilroy unified school district will release a plan on how to reopen schools amid the pandemic. deborah flores will present the plans. a committee of teachers and members have been discussing the plans for two months. while the plan hasn't been released. it has been influenced by a parent survey taken at the end of last school year. that meeting begins tonight at 6:00 on a teleconference. berkeley's school superintendent says students will experience entirely distance learning when the academic year begins in a few weeks. the district hoped to hold some in-person classroom instruction but rising coronavirus case counts in the city have them worried about how safe that will be. berkeley school board will hear

the superintendent's revised plan during the meeting tomorrow. oakland unified is revealing more details about reopening plans for the fall. we know there is an emphasis on distance learning. taking a phased approach and during a public informational session we learned of another wrinkle that is being added to the instruction process for high school students. >> the recommendation is to implement mini mesters where students are experiencing three to four classes each quarter, each mini mester instead of the same work load that they have had in the past. >> now, last week the school district announced classes will start on august 10th with distance learning and then last up to four weeks. there are negotiations still going on at this point with teachers. many oakland parents had hoped to begin the year with in-person learning and others felt getting back was premature. getting back to the classroom

until two conditions are met. >> until we see the rates have dropped and steadily dropped to near zero for 14 days straight, we don't even want to consider any type of in-person learning at all. no hybrid learning. none of that. >> the second condition states that the district must ensure that the proper safety equipment is available and maintained throughout the school year. oakland unified said governor newsom has promised to deliver. now an abc7 news live desk update. >> at the live desk. the second largest school district in the country will not reopen its campuses for the start of the upcoming school year. los angeles schools will reopen online only in the fall. the superintendent says the district can't come close to protecting the health and safety of half a million students and about 75,000 employees. across the country, florida continues to set daily records while hospitals are running out of space. the state's governor has been reluctant to reimpose

hear anything but all i saw was. and i said, what are they talking about? what are they doing? >> okay. so, last year -- we did a pose off which adam admits i won and he wanted a rematch. >> it was good last year. i need to see this. who won? who won? >> you do need to see it. you're going to decide, by the way. >> okay. >> oh, fun. was this part of "midday live." >> yes. >> ready. didn't recognize him. i would have recognized him just like that. then, again, i watch figure skating. so, let's take a look at what's going on outside weather wise and can't wait for "midday live." that's going to be fun. mid to upper 50s is what we're looking at along the east bay shore. 60 in places like hayward and 61

in oakland under mostly cloudy conditions and around the north bay. low 50s around santa theresa and novato. some 60s else where and antioch and brentwood and otherwise mid to upper 50s. let's take a look at what will happen for your commute. little hazy out there and we do have some low clouds hanging around. the breezes are going to kick in around 11:00 this afternoon and hang around through 11:00 this evening. so, it will be choppy on the water and going to be a little bit of a tug on the steering wheel north of the bay bridge through the delta. so, let's go to the south bay where we have at 8:0059 degrees and sunshine and 74 at noon and upper 70s to 80 in the afternoon hours. north bay 57 at 8:00. sunshine by 10:00 and 65. from noon all the way to 4:00. mid to upper 70s. a 64 at 8:00 and in the east bay valleys, 59 at 8:00. 77 at noon and we'll hang out in the mid 80s during the afternoon hours and a very delightful 72 degrees with sunshine at 8:00.

all right. these cooler temperatures hang around for a couple days and then gets hot this weekend. we'll have that coming up. first, get over to jobina. hi, jobina. how are you? >> hi, mike. i am doing well. but, unfortunately, for people that are traveling on southbound 680 in the east bay cannot catch a break this morning. so, bringing you to the maps now because if you have been watching throughout the morning, you know, i was following a major backup in pleasanton because of a crash on southbound 680 just before the sunol boulevard off ramp. now, we have another crash. this is southbound 680 before andrade road there. speeds are down to 15 miles per hour and two lanes are blocked right now and crews are out there in the process of trying to get everything cleared up because people have just been sitting in the backup all morning long. one crash clears and another one happens. that is what is going on in the east bay. this is in sunol, by the way, just in case you're wondering. now i have another update for you on free rides on public transit.

they are coming to an end in the south bay. vta will collect fares on august 1st. on buses and light rail trains in march to reduce contact between passengers and operators. fare boxes are located near where the drivers sit. vta is one of three local transit agencies that went fare free during the pandemic along with sam trans and ac transit. no word on when those two will re

you are never more than seven minutes away with your, a, i, ccuweather forecast. >> hi, there. let's take a look at what is going on outside. broken deck of clouds from the exploratorium camera. marine layer is thicker and has the same amount of moisture and easier to thin the clouds out and bring sunshine but that will be tempered by another stout sea breeze. by the time we get to the afternoon hours, 60s, 70s and 80s. temperature average to below

average. we have a high fire danger there. the temperatures are tapering across the state and no more 100s and 84 in tahoe and 86 in monterey and head to palm springs and monterey where the heat should be for those 100 degree highs. let's get over to kumasi. >> thank you, mike. abc7 is working to build a better bay area and that means a big focus on health and the economy. this morning, there's some confusion and frankly some disappointment in the east bay. many businesses are closing their doors again because of the pandemic. abc7 news reporter amy hollyfield is in walnut creek with more on this. amy? >> kumasi, the big impact here in contra costa county is hair salons. look at this one. a sign here with all they've done to protect people and to make it safe as they were allowed to reopen even at the end saying we are excited to see you, but now that excitement is diminished. they are being ordered to shut down and salons are very

disappointed. they worked very hard to reopen. many thing they should be allowed to stay open. the main gallery has separators between their chairs and washable seat covers and thermometers and hand sanitizer. but the governor says because of the sharp rise of covid-19 cases, salons just must close for now. and many owners are very frustrated. >> i think it's pretty essential. you know. we've taken all the protocols. we're safer than most grocery stores that you go in. so, i don't quite get it. >> in alameda county, all the talk is about outdoor dining. it was open for a few weeks, but then closed on friday night. and the county is now applying for a variance that would reopen outdoor dining. so, at this point, it is a waiting game there. a lot of frustration here in the east bay. these new restrictions that the governor put in place, they are in place indefinitely.
