without mask mandates, which means it'll be a few more weeks until we can get rid of our masks here in california. the state says it'll align with cdc guidance on june 15th. that timeline isn't sitting well for some people. abc7 news reporter amy hollyfield live for us in walnut creek this morning. amy? >> reporter: that's right, reggie. some people do want to take our masks off now, inside businesses. california officials say, they want us to wait a bit and they are doing this because they do think we need more time. they just want to give us a little bit more time. they want people who have been waiting to get vaccinated to go ahead and get it done in these next four weeks. they want to give businesses time to prepare for the change, and they want us all to have a little time mentally to prepare for the shift. here is some reaction we heard out here on the streets. >> i'm going to err on the side of caution, and i'm going to wear mine for a long time, until i feel comfortable not wearing it. >> i think, ideally, you know, if there were more in line with

the national mandate, might be a little easier to, you know. i will tell you, it's confusing when you go into a restaurant, i mean, do you wear your mask for three steps and take it off? i mean, it causes a lot of confusion and i'm hoping it's not hurting our local businesses. >> reporter: well, that confusion will be behind us on june 15th. that is the big day, the governor has set that day as the day the state will reopen and that will also be the day that the mask mandate will be dropped. so vaccinated people, they are clear to take our masks off outside right now, but indoors, inside businesses, we all need to keep our masks on the 15th. we did hear some relief from local health officials, from san francisco to marin. we checked in and they said, this is a good idea. they don't feel quite ready yet. live in the east bay, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. all right, amy, thank you. while the governors june 15th

full reopening target may give businesses the go-ahead they need, one industry is calling for a little more guidance to clear things up. bay area wedding and event planners say they are stuck in limbo. since they are considered live ticket concerts or sporting events, there's gray area on their specific safety guidelines. >> when you are looking at social events, where there is mingling and eating and drinking, it's much different. that's why we really need our guidelines to be very referral. i've been telling my clients, let's wait until 2022. dings will be so much more clear at that point. >> in a statement to abc7 news, the state department of public health said, as we get closer to the identified reopening date, we will continue to provide additional guidance in details related to specific sectors. the covid-19 crisis has focused the attention on all types of our medical care in the bay area, but particularly mental health. cdc study last year found that 1 and 3 u.s. adults reported some kind of symptoms related to anxiety or depression.

but as this kind of emotional pendulum swings back to reopening and new routines, experts say mental health services are more important than ever. >> they have miss a year of social connection. so there's a lot of question about, where do i fit in? >> i think just acknowledging, this is something it's okay to feel this way, you can feel a little bit unsettled. >> it's also important to realize that we are on the same boat. we're in this together. there are a number of local groups that are offering affordable mental health care online and in person. we have links up right now on the front page of abc7news.com. this thursday, we are taking a closer look at mental health issues, including easing stress and anxiety of people are heading back to work. this is an abc7 bayless and conversation, your mental health, thursday 4:00 pm. >> i will be co-anchoring that. new development in the store you first hear kurt here on abc7 mornings. a man is in custody after two fires at a concord church in the last week. this fire at the christ

community church of the nazarene on ashbury drive started just after midnight yesterday. it was in an office. investigators say it was intentionally set. they are not sure if the suspect in custody is responsible for the first fire last week. last thursday, the fire destroyed another building belonging to the church. investigators believe it happened and is where someone was sleeping. no one was there in either fire. developing news, extreme weather is being felt from coast-to-coast. while we are seeing drought conditions here, other people are experiencing major flooding. in dallas, texas, people faced two tornadoes and flash flooding. in louisiana, rescuers in boats and trucks had to pull people from about 80 homes. video shows parents carrying their kids on their backs and waste deep water, while pushing them up, picking them up from school. more than foot of rain fell, one of the wettest days on record. >> obviously i will do anything to get to her come make sure i can get her home. i have two other kids that are stuck. in southern california, a suspect has been arrested for
