and california is changing its testing policy. people with symptoms in higher risk categories or who know that they have been exposed to covid-19 will get the priority. >> ensuring that our guidelines not only say who needs to be tested, but give some guidance to labs on which specimens to process first. >> this is significant because it switches away from the old newsom administration plan that allows anyone can get tested who wanted to be testing. they are averaging 100,000 tests per day, but the turnaround time for results is slowing because of the spike in cases. alameda county is asking for the state to permission to continue outdoor dining. friday, the new state guidelines limited them to just takeout and delivery. they said that they didn't have the power to advance the reopening beyond that. but officials in livermore, hayward, a dublin and oakland refused to enforce the shutdown

order. >> people's lives are at stake. but where the frustration is with the businesses, their livelihoods are at stake. so this is why we've allowed -- or why the state has allowed outdoor dining. >> alameda county supervisors are now asking sacramento for a variance. it would let health officials keep outdoor businesses open. and it includes the oakland zoo. and officials at the zoo say that the financially strapped zoo could reopen in a couple of weeks or even sooner if that variance is approved. it has been closed since march when regional shelter-in-place orders went into effect. it would be limited to just outdoor activities. rides and indoor 12k3iexhibits stay closed. and attendance would be limited to 2500 people a day. coming up, the supreme
