eople of us. we have flattened this curve once and we must do it again. we need everyone to do their part. we have to get this virus under control right now. we don't have months. we barely have weeks. every decision you make affects everyone around you. >> you can hear the urgency in her voice. a plea and some strong words from san francisco mayor london breed. we thought we would say good afternoon and thank you for joining us. >> san francisco was added to the state's monitoring list today and the city immediately took steps to roll back even more. calling for closures of indoor malls and nonessential businesses. all of this as governor newsom announce that had schools and counties on the state's watch list will not be allowed to

reopen until they are able to reduce their number of cases for 14 consecutive days. >> lyanne melendez with more on some other guidelines imposed by the governor. >> this is exactly what many school districts in california were hoping for. some type of mandate. not recommendations. many had argued that recommendations or guidelines don't always work. >> the one thing we have the power to do, to get our kids back into school is look at this list again. wear a mask. >> it was a plea made by the governor to try to reduce the coronavirus surge in california that has now forced many schools to go back to distance learning. until now, districts were deciding how to reopen schools, putting them in an awkward position with parents and teeflers. newsom took on thates isin a new ndate. can physicallytion wn tty thatn

has been off our monitoring list for 14 consecutive days. >> with the exception of san mateo, every county in the bay area is now on that list. san francisco was added today. san francisco unified had already decided to keep its distance learning model earlier in the week. this mandate applies to both public and private schools in the state. another requirement issued by the governor's office is that when schools reopen, children's grades 3 and up must wear a mas% or face shield. children in second grade and below are encouraged to do so. other adaptations include teachers and students must maintain six feet of physical distancing. schools must conduct daily temperature checks and school staff will be tested on a rotating basis. >> if a school goes home with multiple cohorts that have cases, or we stipulate 5% of the

school, local school, not district, local school is positive, then it would trigger criteria to consider closing or mandating the closure of that school site. >> so a mandate. again, if a school closes, it doesn't mean the entire school district then shuts down. the governor said, one school doesn't make a district. now, on the issue of virtual learning, that is very important, he said it must be rigorous. nothing like we saw in march and i am a when schools first went online. remember, larry in. >> absolutely. and some of the teachers admitted, it will be two weeks to three weeks. then we'll be back. they didn't have the opportunity to put together some robust virtual learning program. this could go on for a while so the question is, will there be enough computers? the chrome books? internet activity. how will this look? >> they said it will look very

different. while many, many more kids now have devices, better internet coverage, there are some districts that still have gaps. the governor said they've been knocking on everyone's door. he mentioned google today. we've seen twitter, sales force, finding devices to hands them over to the schools. newsom said when kids go online, the instruction has to be robust. nothing like we saw in march and april when teachers would put part of a curriculum on facebook. so he wants students to go to interact live daily with teachers. it has to feel almost as if they were in the classroom. >> how will testing work for the schools? you're talking about so many districts, so many kids, so many teachers. >> this is very interesting. it was a little vague. he didn't say students would be

tested. he only said staff. that's what i heard. this would be done routinely including contact tracing. he said it was very important. he never said who would pay for it. we only assume that the state would pay for it. we know that there is a tighter supply of testing. that's a problem. and a longer turn-around for results. so many, many questions that will hopefully be answered soon. >> all right. thank you. now, while the governor's announcement was expected, this elicited strong reactions from parents and teachers. leslie brinkley has more on that story. >> reporter: the governor's guidelines mandating distance learning spooked many parents. >> i can't do it for the entire semester, for a couple months on my own. >> there isn't consideration for what working parents are going to do. they can't teach and elementary school kids can't be on zoom for

six hours a day by themselves. >> reporter: it is a dilemma hitting close to home. some working parents who can afford to are already hiring a caregiver to supervise kids in multifamily pods. others have orchestrated family co-ops like the single mom with a kinlds gabd gartner. >> to provide some sort of enriching activity in the afternoon. >> reporter: some parents wonder, can virtual education be reimagined? could community centers be opened? it is all uncharted territory. >> guess what, it costs. now we're looking at who will pay for that. >> reporter: the president of the california teachers association said online connectivity is key. he said teachers are happy to finally have guidelines to ramp up virtual classrooms in a less panicked way than in march. >> we have more time now so we

can truly plan and get our, guess what is needed to make sure our students are learning. >> we feel extremely relieved that the safety and health of our students and teachers and staff seem to be the number one consideration. if we know it is not safe in the area we live in, that the infection rates are high and going up as they are currently, then i don't think it's worth it to risk a single life. >> reporter: abc7 news. >> across the country, there are now more than 3.6 million coronavirus cases. this according to the latest data from john hopkins. in california, there are 366,164 confirmed virus cases. in the bay area, nine counties, almost 39,000 cases. keep in mind when you look at those numbers, that does include patients who have recovered. now let's put the focus on san francisco where mayor london breed announced, the city has

been added to the state's watch list. right now all bay area counties except san mateo are only list. san francisco just added today. which means it will face more restrictions if it stays on the list more than three days. right now the mayor is being proactive asking certain businesses to close again. >> reporter: a stern message from san francisco's mayor, london breed. >> we're not reopening until we get this under control. >> reporter: the city has 4975 new cases of covid-19 and 52 deaths. also, after being exposed to someone with covid-19, she has now tested negative twice. >> this does not mean that i'm immune or i can let my guard down moving forward. >> reporter: city official are reminding san franciscans, that a negative covid-19 test does not mean they are immune either. >> gatherings remain inherently dangerous and you need to give a lot of thought to if they're

worth it and how you can do it safely. >> reporter: mayor breed said san francisco is now california's watch list. a list of koinltss being monitored forng trends. meaning indoor malls and nonessential offices must close starting monday. director of public health dr. grant colfax said a health order will be announced requiring private providers to test patients with symptoms. those who have come in contact with someone infected with covid-19 or asymptomatic essential workers. this testing must be done on the day requested. they said the health order is in response to the black order of testing. >> at san francisco general hospital, the average age of the person hospitalized with covid-19 since july 1st 41 year >> reporter:hethe city adds mor the city will follow them. >> we have a small window of time right now to get our cases

under control. >> reporter: in san francisco, abc7 news. >> in san mateo county on the peninsula, that's the only bay area county not on the state's watch list but it could be by next week. the chief of san mateo county health said an increase in hospitalizations is putting the city close to the threshold. they said the numbers don't tell the full story so they want to talk to state officials first. they say testing right now is mostly focused on sick people so the positivity rate will go up and some saab quentin patients are coming to a daly city hospital. >> 32% of hospitalizations that come from san mateo county are from the medical central. so we've heard from the governor's office that they may not factor that in. >> reporter: if the county makes the watch list,

prepared if they shut down. events at the coliseum doubled highly regulated vehicle-based gatherings would be held in the parking lot. not in the arena or the sailed the. the new plan does not include either of those. >> these are public facilities. we want them used to the maximum extent possible during the covid, both nonprofit, church, governmental, and for profit entities to make use of our public facilities? under the plan, nonprofits, religious and government groups would only be charged at cost for use of the parking lot. testing priority. should you get tested for n yo any symptoms? and covid stress. stressors are adding up.

to two weeks and that prompted the state to ask public health providers to prioritize testing. but is that prioritizing happening in here's abc7 news report he chris reyes. >> reporter: at this newly opened covid-19 testing site, an online screening will get you a. they are getting tested to encourage those who feel they are at risk for the virus to do the same. neither have any symptoms. >> the that we're even being able to test is such a great leem for us. warrior at this pop-up, we met three people waiting for peace of minds. >> sometimes i get allergies from the flowers and plants. >> just to be safe around family members and co-workers. >> reporter: recent developments, a backbacklog. anyone in the hospital with symptoms, those exposed to the virus and essential workers

first in line. quest diagnostics, one of the private labs overwhelmed with cases, asked the health care providers limit the number of tests they forward for patients at low risk. here in alameda county, they say they're reviewing the guidelines but they don't want to tell anyone to stay away because asymptomatic people can also spread the virus. >> it is confusing. it was symptomatic only and then everybody get tested and then they're changing again. >> i would like to see more universal testing. that would be michael. >> the two could not nigting messages. test as many as possible and limit testing because of the backlog. and it applies differently because of the area. here, no backlog. some say the real problem, the lack of a national testing strategy. >> it is not marchly well coordinated and they're all doing what they can to do as much testing as possible >> we'll continue to lobby washington. >> reporter: chris reyes, abc7

news. >> as we try to encourage people to wear masks and social distance, we're noticing more and more people warming to the out even as they see the case numbers rising. so you would understand, what's happening here in joining us live now, your specialty is psychiatry. what is the psychology that you can explain to me? people don't appear to be that scared anymore. at least not as scared as back in march when the virus really started to spread? >> right. my expertise is stress. and we are all you understand some kind of stress. not just one storm and one response. there are many different storms going on. so to really understand individual behavior, we need to understand their own risk per session. what information are they listening to? so people are watching different channels and different sources of risk information. that's part of this. at the beginning of the pandemic, we all felt this kind

of, the novelty, the uncertainty. that drives a huge stress response. we're i don't understand that. now we're in a different phase. we need to really maintain to stay safe, to support each other. we're tired. people are exhausted. and there is a monotony to it. so we need to try to both be understanding of people who are needing to not distance right now but also to explain the facts and the data and it is still not safe right now. >> i think it is human nature to a certain extent to let your guard down after an extended period of time. as a nation, this is a layman's term. are we experiencing lockdown fatigue? >> absolutely. that's part of it. and believe me, some people's anxiety is going up as they

watch the numbers go up. the people going out tend to be the younger people. they feel less vulnerable. and face it, we do what we see people do. if they're seeing their peers on social media going out, then there is some kind of contagious herd effect. we follow what we see. and that can be very dangerous. that time of group think. >> so we're at over 130,000 deaths from the coronavirus. that number doesn't seem to resonate with a lot of people. do you think, it doesn't feel real for some until somebody close to them like a family member or they themselves actually get sick and then they go, oh, okay, this is real. >> that's exactly how our minds works. when we see something salient and personal, we feel threatened or safe. in this case, for some of these young people who are not thinking logically, they need to

see the threat right in front of them. so their threat is our threat. but who is "our"? it has to be a relative or someone they care about. >> you're doing a study on women and stressful what can you tell us about that? >> we are. so we've been always interested in natural ways that we can reduce the stress response and really improve mood and depression. anti-depressants don't work for so many people. now we have an epidemic of pandemic depression. and we are looking for women to try out these new methods that we really are testing out and have hope in. these are not just 15 minutes a day, if we can build our inner resilience. we need to fight exhaustion and depletion and we need extra self-care tools. we invite bay area women to look at our website and see if you're interested in trying these

different stress reduction techniques involved. breathing techniques that you probably haven't done. the result is stress resilience.net. >> i think we can all use some less stress. we have a few seconds left. you see these videos online and people reacting so negatively in some parts of the country to anybody wearing a mask. it is like personal attack. is that the stress coming out? how do you explain it? >> so this is a really good question and maybe it's also trying to understand the mindset of another's political beliefs. it comes back to, in their minds, it is logical. they're sharing different feelings and the idea of wearing masks.

i think the best way is not this anger response. the fighting that we're seeing happening if stores. it is just the worst of human behavior being brought out. but rather, really being calm, compassionate responses of this person seeing things differently. they're hearing different facts. and then calm, logical explanations. if we can't keep calm in these social interactions, we'll just look like animals. the worst of human behavior. >> we've seen that. please have a nice and calm and stressless weekend. >> thank you so much. be well. >> isn't that what we all want? it won't be back to school

in many time for the four at 4:00. new rules for school reopenings that will likely keep most california students from returning to class. at least in the near term. newsom's new mandates putting schools on the state's covid monitoring list cannot hold in person classes and must meet strict criteria for reopening. it requires all staff and students in grades 3-12 in schools that do reopen. it marks a shift from his earlier position where he gave local school districts and boards the power to decide how

and when to open. personally i know that in the san ramon unified school district, they had like a four or five-hour call with all the parents and officials going back and forth and some wanting to it open and not open. whether you agree or disagree, a statewide mandate where we have rules and regulations for everybody, not one county does this, another county does that, it does make some sense. >> i agree. i think a statewide approach makes sense even though there has to be some flexibility, obviously. school districts differ. there has to be some fairly firm yet flexible set of guidelines from the top so we know where we're going with this thing. >> yeah. ama, i know your daughter isn't going to school yet but she's probably approaching kindergarten? what are your thoughts about her going to school with other kids

and you don't know what precautions other parents are taking? >> it's so tough. i agree there needs to be some guidelines governing everyone. what is it? from one county to the next, that is literally a mile down the road. we need to get this taken care of. and i think the problem is we still don't know so much. i really feel like we've got to get a handle on it before we say let's just throw kids back in there and everything will be fine. there is so much we don't know. >> it is certainly confusing. thinking of working from home, as the kids go back to school to learn in person, moms are more likely than dads to reduce their hours during the pandemic. now, researchers found that moms are working around two hours less per week while the workload says whiumbe't ver

calling it quote, she session, get it? she recession? because unemployment rates are higher for women than men. i think this is a fascinating topic because you've seen the studies come out in reason years about the amount of work a woman does at home and what that would equate to when it comes to dollars. it's like $170,000 just by being a mom. and who better to ask more about this than you, ama in what are your thoughts? >> well, i hear that they're working two hours less than men. two fewer hours. well, maybe technically, when you're talking career wise, but i'm guessing a lot of that is made up for by hi, now i'm home schooling my kid who can't to go school and doing all the other stuff. and i'm not saying men are not

doing that. my husband keeps the house running. those are not two hours when the feet are up on the couch and you're >> we're spending more time primping and preening and fitting this mold. more hours lost across the board. >> clearly, larry and i are not kernds about what we look like. >> spencer, discounting the new make-up i'm trying out today. anyway. i think the one thing we should say, and spencer, i know you would agree with this, especially if you're a mom who has a full-time job on side. you have two full time jobs. and the moms deserve more appreciation and recognition for

all they do. >> look at larry today compared to yesterday. you're so lovely today! >> you don't do the show with me anymore so you don't recognize it. a florida couple is cashing in on their cat's love of water. meet erold. this guy is so cute. that was in the gulf of mexico. not long ago, his owners, lorraine and flip, began showing videos of his fascination with the water. those images caught the attention of several companies who have signed up the feline for being their spokes today. they like that they're the litt. and i'm really frustrated because the animals we have at home have no particular skillful
