wood city has created. you wonder if this is going to stay. california weather is pretty nice, but starting today, they now have a choice. they can now open their indoor gym, people can go inside and work out, to a limited capacity. they can only allow 10% of their capacity inside. but they can reopen. restaurants also can open their indoor dining rooms. they will still possibly need those outdoor dining areas, though, because they can only allow in 25% of their capacity. so for instance one restaurant we looked at, that means they can open up four more tables. but employees tell us they're very happy to be able to welcome more customers, places of worship can also welcome in 25% of their building's capacity. and some tel us t thinth is really what right now. >> it is a brotherhood, and they love that. and that's what they really miss. besides the worship and the praying and the message, they

really miss the fellowship. >> reporter: museums, movie theaters and zoos are on the list of places that can partially reopen indoors. marin and san mateo are the two bay area counties that are now in the red tier. health officials say the number of cases and hospitalizations are going down, and that we are headed in the right direction. now, gyms can allow 10% in of their capacity, so it is going to be a different experience here at 24 hour fitness. you need to make a reservation. you can be inside for an hour. gym managers are hoping that after a year of being in a pandemic, and kind of being a couch potato, they're hoping people will come back, will get in there and start moving their bodies again. live in redwood city, amy hollyfield, abc news. >> thank you, amy. in marin county, restaurants like aroma cafe are reopening for indoor dining at 25% capacity starting today as amy mentioned. few people are ready to say, though, the worst is over, even

though more and more people are getting vaccinated every day. even health officials have a wait and seet t early to congratulate ourselves. we have, you know, it will be probably at least two or three weeks before we start seeing numbers anywhere close to the original tier or best case scenario. and that's where we want to get. >> and as amy mentioned, gyms can also reopen today. the movie theater next to aroma cafe says it won't be ready to welcome guests for at least a week. san francisco is inching closer to the red tier. this is the live look at sfo right now with cases dropping. the city lifted the mandatory travel quarantine. that ten-day quarantine was implemented back in december after the post thanksgiving surge. health officials are still urging everyone to avoid nonessential trips. and while the cases are dropping, san francisco is still in the purple tier because of a metric that the state uses called the health equity score. it tracks communities that the virus hit the hardest and san francisco is expected to meet

that criteria by next week. san francisco unified school board just voted unanimously on a health and safety plan necessary to reopen schools. the teachers union and board agreed on the plan's terms. >> a lot of you don't know how it is going right now. we need to be in this all together, so as a teacher, i am urging that the board -- that the board to support and trust educator voices calling for continuity and education. >> okay. teachers can return with students to in person learning when san francisco is in the red tier and everyone is vaccinated. no vaccine is needed if san francisco reaches the more moderate orange tier. the district and the union not in agreement with how many days and hours are safer in person learning. the teachers union wants a mediator to intervene saying they have lost confidence in the superintendent to manage all of this. happening today, san francisco moves to the next phas >>oe w wk in education, child care and

official who will speak today and that official will confirm that he was never briefed on these threats either. a sonoma county dui case is the center of a supreme court debate on whether it misdemeanors warrant home searches. a man suspected of dui pulled into his garage and instead of stopping when a chp officer tried to pull him over 100 feet away. that officer followed him inside. police are required to have a warrant before entering a home, but courts have allowed exceptions when an officer is in, quote, hot pursuit of a suspect believed to have committed a felony. the court will essentially be deciding whether a misdemeanor crime, which includes littering and jaywalking, is enough to allow police to go inside someone's home. five managers of the texas power grid are resigning effective today. they faced intense criticism since last week's historic winter storm. more than 4 million people were

left without power for days. and dozens of deaths are blamed on the storm, the five managers resigning today all live outside of texas, which only intensified the criticism. tomorrow texas lawmakers are expected to question officials about the failures during hearings at the state capitol. coming up, will the wheel at the -- the fierris wheel stay o go. debate is continuing. why some san francisco supervisors are calling for an investigation. it was a very positive person in all our lives. >> and the legacy this poet and bookstore owner leaves behind. walnut creek, 39 degrees now under a clear sky. your outdoor activities revolve around sunshine, warmer than around sunshine, warmer than average temperatures and windy
