health officials are confident the data is dr. balum micash said his office noticed the difference july 23rd and immediately notified the state. he said at its core the delay presents a massive health issue. >> it's way too late to isolate them. we can learn about their contacts but way too late to quarantine them. too much time has passed. >> reporter: reopening decisions would be based on science and data. >> we apologize. you deserve better, the governor demands better of us, and we are committed to doing better. >> galley says the state is making changes including developing a new laboratory recording system for covid-19. >> doctors are scrambling to find treatments that could save the lives of people infected by covid-19. now there's a promising new development out of ucsf this

incoming freshman class will defer attending instead of being in classes at the beginning of classes this fall. foesh's also reports harvard only expects about 25% of its undergraduates to live on campus after anticipating that number would be around 40%. all this week we've spent time talking about back to school as part of our efforts to build a better bay area. as school begins next week at several large bay area districts we wanted to find out what teachers are expecting from this upcoming school year and listen to what they have to say. >> my home is not my classroom. >> yes, i would love to go back to the classroom this fall, however as a parent i would have to say no. >> i've had a lot of years to work on my craft, and everything i've known about school is different. meeting my kids and checking in with them every day is everything. and for me teaching to a blank

screen is going to be a real challenge, right, and so it's finding ways to engage and build a community with kids i've never met before. >> this will be new for teachers and new for students to start off a school year not having established relationships. i am excited to make sure that our students actually have a fun time learning considering what's been going on. >> i'm hoping they have cameras on just because i need to know who's who. i need to know what they look like. i need to know who's on the other end. >> i would say i'm probably most worried that we might try to rush in-person interaction too quickly. i would hate to see like a student pass an illness to another student or to someone in that student's family and it could be entirely preventable. >> i am worried about the future of public school education with continued budget cuts as well as families wanting to unenroll

their child from school. i'm worried about the potential increase in the achievement gap of our black and brown students. >> in the spring we called it crisis teaching. we left school due to the uridh could l ne' in tt place to bark from home in the same way i would try to do it if i was in the classroom. >> last spring was able to have some really intentional intensive groupings with students or one-on-one groups and really push my students reading which couldn't actually happen in the classroom because of all the distractions that happen. so i think once we get families re-established and have all the devices they need and the wi-fi and we create community then we can actually have some deeper learning than we had in the spring. >> from the students perspective last year ended with an opportunity without a whole lot of accountability for learning. and so when we go back kids are going to have to learn that

school is real now, and school counts. and the expectation is that you show up prepared to learn and assignments get turned in and that engagement piece needs to be in place. >> good to hear from those teachers. happening today hundreds of families will get a little bit of help before school starts. the shop till you drop foundation will be giving away school supplies to students. donations are still being accepted so more kids can take part. i love to see that. >> i love to see that, too. and i'm going to show you a live shot of the golden gate bridge where there's fog right now. in fact the chp has issued a dense fog advisory for the robin williams tunnel, but the marine layer is more compressed. so i'll tell you what that means for our temperatures and what we can expect this weekend coming up. and also ahead all face coverings are not created equal.
