6:00 pm
key aspects of building a better bay area. your health, your changing workplace and the economy. lyanne has the story. >> reporter: i agree. the governor's press conference seemed to confuse a lot of people but we're here to break it down for you. your county will have a color. purple, red, orange and yellow. each category will take into account two things. the number of daily new cases and the positivity rate. those two things will determine when and how businesses and schools can reopen. >> until today, the state took into account several factors to determine if and how a business can reopen in a county. such as the hospitalization rates, the number of available beds, the number of people in the icu, et cetera. but now the number of cases and test positivity will serve as more crucial metrics. >> here's what we're looking at.
6:01 pm
we're looking at these four tiers, color code, purple, red, orange and yellow. >> reporter: if your county is in the purple tier, it means most nonessential businesses can operate outdoors but some like hair salons and malls can open indoors at limited capacity. red means more indoor businesses like museums and movie theaters can reopen with restrictions. orange means places like indoor wineries and bowling alleys can open. and at the yellow level, all indoor businesses can reopen with modifications. ans physal distancing is still required. so are masks and health screenings. right now, every county in the bay area is purple, except san francisco and napa, which are red. this new framework is up to the discretion of each county meaning they can be more rigid
6:02 pm
but not less. here's where the governor says the stringent part comes in to play at the state level. >> we have a criteria, not just 21 days moves between tiers but two weeks, some stability and steadiness before you move into those tiers. >> reporter: with that the state seems to acknowledge that covid and its effects on the population will be around for some time. with regard to reopening schools, that's a conversation that counties in the red or lower can begin having sooner than later. >> with 14 days or two weeks of waiting in that red tier, that they can pursue opening schools at the discretion of the local health officers and the counties, and all of the local school districts in that planning. >> reporter: of course, all of this is dependent upon how well we all behave. governor newsom said he will be ready to apply that brake if the
6:03 pm
state sees an increase in the number of hospitalizations. abc7 news. >> lots to sort through but we appreciate you making sense of it all. the governor's new guidelines were announced after san francisco mayor london breed loosened the reopening rules. small business owners cried foul that san francisco is being too restrictive and threatening their survival. here's david louie. >> there is so much uncertainty. and i know there is so much frustration. >> reporter: the level of frustration and uncertainty is only growing after governor newsom laid out a new reopening plan but city and county rules prevail. mayor breed has a more measured level. >> we hear from the state one thing, from the city another. it is a ping pong back and forth. >> reporter: you understand the state plan, businesses can reopen with limited capacity. gyms at 10%.
6:04 pm
two other highlights, retailers and shopping malls can reopen at 50% capacity. by contrast, mayor breed said starting tuesday, hair salons and gyms can open tuesday. >> our industry is literally collapsing and it is all based on the fact san francisco department of health is not making a rational decision about what is open and what is not open right now. >> reporter: late today, the mayor's office issued this statement. san francisco is currently reviewing the new tiered system for reopening. nothing is changing today here in san francisco. the owner said wind and smoke make it difficult to do hair outdoors but she's grateful for the revised rules. >> i don't know that i'll be able to operate in a way that's beneficial to the business. but at this point, we're so behind on paying our bills that anything is better than nothing francisco's small business owners explain about the
6:05 pm
conflict, they did make it clear why there are tighter restrictions. >> what we don't want to do is open these places and then all of a sudden, see a spike and then have to go backwards. >> reporter: in san francisco, david louie, abc7 news. >> now, abc7 news report he kate larson is live with more on how businesses and customers are reacting to this change, trying to figure it out. >> reporter: that's exactly what's happening. people are trying to figure it out. we're here on the embarcadero which has been open for outdoor dining for about five weeks now. like many restaurants, they would like the open for indoor dining. there's a lot of frustration about that especially because governor nummelin is in the new red category whichtsnd the director of the golden gate restaurant association. they said based on the mayor's announcements today, not the governor, she doesn't think people will be eating inside any
6:06 pm
time soon. she points out that we've only got another two months or so of decent weather left for outdoor dining in san francisco so that's really increasing the anxiety levels of everyone in the restaurant business in san francisco. they want to know when they can set up for indoor salons. i spoke with the owner of a san francisco salon. she said it feels like ground hog day. every month she gets some sort of new guidance from the constituent city or the state. she still can't serve her clients indoors. according to the mayor's announcements she will allow salons to do outdoor services starting next week. schools. more confusion. the new state guidelines with san francisco in the red category in theory would allow san francisco to hold in person classes in two weeks. but .to an sfusd teacher who would like to be back in the classroom with her students and shemds no way.
6:07 pm
there are no guidelines set up. they couldn't be ready for at least another month. maybe not even until january. so daniel, really, the overall sense from the folks i've spent on with, confusion and frustration. we'll have more of this. more of the reaction and break it down for you at 11:00 right here on abc7. for now live on the embarcadero. abc7 news. >> and there will be more of those feelings. kate will look forward to it at 11:00. we were in the east bay when businesses found out about the new order. today, alameda and contra costa were ready to reopen. >> i had to buy a new set of furniture just to leave here. >> reporter: the stylist at insignia salon have been working outside in the parking lot. >> the news today is that we get to open up indoors at 25% capacity on monday. >> reporter: they're you understand the impression they can reopen indoors from governor
6:08 pm
newsom's new tier system. >> it is very confusing. is this what you truly mean? >> reporter: in alameda county, hair and nail salons can reopen. >> we wanted to wait until monday. >> reporter: rob is setting up three salon chairs on their back terrace. he said it is confusing to see which businesses can reopen and which ones can't. >> it's been pretty difficult and discouraging, the logic behind certain things that they'll allow indoors or outdoors. and certain things that they won't. it doesn't make that much sense. >> reporter: his next door neighbor polished nail slonl is deciding not to reopen outside. >> if it is just me by myself and my clients are outdoors and i go in to do something, who knows what is happening out there? i have no protection for them or my products. >> reporter: and a few doors down, they're deciding not to
6:09 pm
reopen because to her it is unsanitary. >> at this point, if this doesn't happen any sooner, we'll permanently shut down. >> reporter: on monday, hair salons and barber shops can open indoors with modifications. shopping malls can reopen indoors at 25% capacity. abc7 news. the governor's new teerd reopening man takes into account a case rate and positivity rate. what does this mean as you move about your day every day? joining me, an infectious disease and epidemiologist disease expert. what was your immediate reaction when you heared the new man? i think it is a step forward. it will take a while to understand all 92 wantses but it is not a binary system.
6:10 pm
there are gradations. san francisco is in the second tier and can move to opening schools if everybody agrees. within a couple of weeks if we stay there. so i think it gives more flexibility. i think it is probably better from a disease control standpoint. it will go fairly slowly. what is the bottom line here? the bottom line is that we're trying to protect health. we're trying to control a deadly virus, and we're trying to prevent a third wave of infection from happening. i think this is a good way to do it. >> that is a great perspective. the governor says it is more strink end than the watch list. as you point out, it adds more flexibility. can things be safe as they reopen in this way? >> so the trick is, so you have two things. one is, what is the probability of someone walking into a business who is acutely infected
6:11 pm
and is infectious? they can cause disease. that is a probability function and that ties to the number of cases, and to the positivity rates. the second thing is, if they were to walk in, with it laid out, could you prevent it? that's about masks and social distancing and density in these places. i think that's the way to think about it. you have two things. probability of somebody walking in who is infected and infectious. if that were to happen, how do we keep the transmission rates low? >> as this drags on, we have this new color coded system. what advice would you give people watching who are trying to, as they begin to get back to some sense of normalcy, what advice would you give them on assess their risk as they begin to go out and experience businesses that are reopening? >> reporter: i would say, if
6:12 pm
you're in a risk group, if you're older, if you have chronic diseases, i would be very careful about going out and inacting with a lot of people you don't know. in general, the advice remains the same. wear a mask, keep social distance, wash your hands frequently, don't go out if you're sick. those are basic rules. what this does is try to codify them beyond the level have personal responsibility and create some infrastructure around us so we can keep risks to a minimum. >> a lot of decision making up to businesses given the new system. what should their considerations be? how could they make the decision? they're dying to reopen, of course. >> reporter: if you get on to the state webb, there are reams of pages about this stuff. and i think they can, i think it is relatively clear, relatively. i think their trade associations can decide how to set up and things. as we hear, you know, people who
6:13 pm
might have to do this outside. if it creates other issues. people are going to have to figure it out. i think their trade organizations may be able to help them. >> thank you for your time. thanks, george. coming up, cal fire officials are wrapping up an update on the wildfire burning in santa cruz and santa clara counties. we'll have the tribute. >> reporter: i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. smoggy conditions coming up. in the middle of the raging wildfires, a dash to save valuable data. i am robert strickler. i've been involved in communications in the media for 45 years. i've been taking prevagen on a regular basis
6:14 pm
for at least eight years. for me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly. and i enthusiastically recommend prevagen. it has helped me an awful lot. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

6:16 pm
>> more evacuation orders lifted tonight as firefighters worked to contain the czu lightning complex. cal fire just announced 83,133 acres have burnltd. the fire is 27% contained but more than 10,000 structures are still threatened. hundreds of homes have been destroyed and today, abc7 news reporter chris reyes met a man who wrote a letter to his daughter after they lost their home of 19 years after she left for college. >> we built your home around you when you were still inside your mother. i've thought a lot about every piece of wood and stone. people who visited always asked about the soulfulness of our home. i always said that i built the house around myher and her sist. your house in the redwoods by the creek and ocean lasted nearly 19 years. i hoped that it would be yours
