incident at high speed and 80. traffic is backed up eastbound. westbound, it starts near highway 13. google maps shows you just how bad traffic is. the dark red is a solid backup. 580 is completely shut down at high street in oakland because of police activity. 880 is backed up as well. be warned that travel is slow this evening and could be that way for quite some time. good evening to you. >> the virus has changed. >> delta is different. >> the rules are different too. starting first thing tomorrow, the bay area is bringing back its indoor master mandate. >> quite frankly vaccines are keeping thousands out of bay
6:01 pm
area hospitals and morgues right now. good evening and thanks for joining us. i am all my dates. >> and i am dan ashley. >> emery county you see on this map has issued an indoor mask mandate. effective midnight, everyone, even those that are fully vaccinated, must wear masks inside all indoor locations. >> let's go to stephanie sierra . she is in our newsroom with the answers. >> reporter: yes, dan. the main factor driving this mandate is because vaccinated people are able to spread the same amount of the virus. their message, we need to do everything we can to reduce that risk. an indoor mask mandate is in san francisco, san mateo, and the city of berkeley effective at midnight tonight.
6:02 pm
the writing has been on the wall for weeks, so why issue the mandate now? >> evidence has really built in the last week. >> reporter: following the cdc's announcement, vaccinated individuals can carry and spread the same amount of virus . the added precaution is necessary in any indoor environment. >> this is not the same virus we were combating last year and even a few months ago. >> there is a shift in hospitalizations and deaths. >> reporter: hospitalizations have nearly doubled across the bay area in the past two weeks. a majority of those admitted are unvaccinated. >> vaccinated people are still protected from the most severe virus. >> reporter: for example, since the pandemic began, vaccinated individuals accounted for 0.5% of covid hospitalizations in san francisco.
6:03 pm
>> really a fraction of hospitalizations. >> reporter: all seven counties will require masks for any indoor environment, like bars, gyms, and restaurants. >> they are not trying to ban indoor dining. they are not discussing capacity and going back to the social distancing. what they are trying to do is really ensure that we try to provide as much safety as possible. >> reporter: peach county expects business owners to enforce the mandate with clear signs and education for those that don't comply. >> if we can get our hospitalization rates to down to where we were in june, we can think about easing off some of these restrictions. >> reporter: until then, the far is fight from over as covid death rates are starting to climb back nationwide. >> unfortunately i expect deaths in the bay area going up. >> reporter: they are working
6:04 pm
to ramp up covid testing and working with local labs to reopen new contracts and reopen mass testing site. live in the newsroom, stephanie sierra, abc7 news . >> let's talk about what you are hearing about santa cruz county and why they are not invoking this mask mandate. >> reporter: a lot of their cases are stemming from unvaccinated people gathering at their or in private social settings, like parties and barbecues, not in businesses. they don't believe adding more restrictions on businesses will solve the problem. they are simply not issuing a mass order and napa county did not reply to us. of course, we will keep you posted. >> staff, thanks so much. we reached out to the department of health to see if they plan on issuing updated mask guidance. health officers say right now there is no plan for a statewide mandate. they are currently recommending
6:05 pm
masks indoors but they give local jurisdictions the choice to be more restrictive. abc7 news visited the 24 hour fitness on the last day people could work out without wearing masks. many people chose to work out with masks anyway. management doesn't expect this to be a big deal. >> it is big news to everyone right now. that being said, we haven't had anyone come back and say anything against it so far. we will still be open and serving our members and doing so in a safeway. >> opt for lower risk activities when possible. a reminder of how to do that -- >> now is the right time to return to activities. you know, preferably outside. if you plan to have a gathering in your home, you know, it is good to move it to the outside whether it is a backyard barbecue or something like that. outdoors is safer than indoors.
6:06 pm
>> sensible advice, of course. seven of the nine bay area counties reinstated the mask mandate. this follows the recommendation they made for indoor mask and i came out on july 16th, a couple of weeks ago. it has only been about a month since fully vaccinated people were allowed to take off their masks indoors. that happened when california officially reopened on june 15th. we haven't seen a number of new cases this high since january. 150 people in the state lost their lives to coronavirus between friday and sunday. the number of patients in the icu is on the brink of topping 1000. despite the numbers, medical experts agree vaccines do work. lenny woodrow has the story. >> reporter: health officials are certain about at least one thing when it comes to covid-19 vaccinations. >> if you are vaccinated, you are much less likely to develop covid.
6:07 pm
>> reporter: jose is an epidemiologist at stanford university. >> we got this in multiple parts of the world including the united kingdom, israel, and united states. most cases of covid associated with the delta variant are happening among people who are not fully vaccinated. it is true there have been some cases reported in those who are fully vaccinated, but the odds are much lower. you are much less likely to develop covid if you are fully vaccinated. if you develop covid, it is going to be milder than if you are not vaccinated. >> reporter: here in the bay area, hospitalizations and icu numbers are down as compared to last year. according to state data, total hospitalizations are down by 13% when comparing july 31st, 2021 to lie 31st, 2020. icu numbers are down 30% when
6:08 pm
comparing july 31st, 2021 to july 31st, 2020. dr. salinas thinks it is too early to tell how the rest of the year will play out when it comes to the delta variant. >> i don't think we can judge what the impact will be in the bay area. >> reporter: still he hopes the evidence available will decrease hospitalizations and it'll be enough to encourage everyone to get vaccinated. >> it is the right thing to do for your own health and the population's health. >> reporter: melanie woodrow, abc7 news . >> in a vaccinated person gets infection with coronavirus, it is called a breakthrough case. while symptoms tend to be less severe, it can still lead to a long-haul covid situation. that is a question we put to dr. chris caldwell at san francisco general hospital. >> so what we are finding is yes , there are longer symptoms. it
6:09 pm
is too early to know if they are similar to those infected prior to vaccination. i want to say symptoms are not as severe, but there are patients that have been vaccinated and have gotten covid that are having longer-term symptoms. >> we also asked about the people getting an extra dose of the vaccine, a booster shot, if you will. he said sf general will probably allow people who got the johnson & johnson vaccine to get a shot of a different vaccine. here is why. >> an additional shot doesn't seem to invigorate the immune system in a way that does seem to be positive. we don't have proof of this yet . we don't have huge numbers and data. it is not approved, but the research suggests it is something that we really should think about. >> at this time, 54% of everyone living in california
6:10 pm
is fully vaccinated. again, that is the percentage of everyone, even those too young to be vaccinated. vaccination rates are outpacing the state. the darker the color, the higher the vaccination rate. you can find the tracker on our website, abc7.com /vaccine. that is we can go if you have questions about the coronavirus vaccine. again, abc7.com /vaccine. in the south bay, some customers are refusing to mask up and they are taking it to extremes. dion lim has the latest. >> i was shaking and my heart rate was elevated for hours afterwards. >> reporter: the uncomfortable interaction we are witnessing began when these two men walked into recycled books on friday. >> they walk in with their cameras blazing just looking for a fight. >> are you suggesting i have to put a mask on? >> reporter: he refused to mask up despite the signage and the
6:11 pm
employees repeated requests. >> it is putting our life in danger. >> i am worried about my health! >> are you really? >> where is your mask? >> reporter: he even harassed a customer, calling her a "karen." finally after fern alberts repeatedly told the men to leave, they did. >> it is terrible. we are so tired of it. every worker has been dealing with this the entire pandemic. >> reporter: police tell me during the pandemic they focused more on education, not so much enforcement but if they do encounter this behavior, only then can a citation or arrest be made. the person who requested to stay anonymous said men from the same group arched their way unmasked, known cameras rolling into the lego store. employees at recycled books say contending with anti-maskers is
6:12 pm
not uncommon. days earlier, a group of women dropped off a fake arrest warning to the store. their message to the men in this video -- >> leave working people alone. this is not our fault. >> reporter: in san jose, dion lim, abc7 news. >> late this afternoon, we discovered the men not wearing masks at the bookstore belong to a group called believism." they posted a quote saying we are not single but is not real . at this point, we are against the mask mandates. more to come. people either left jobs or lost jobs during the pandemic. tonight meet those who turned an opportunity into something better. more trains every 15 minutes. pre-pandemic service today.

now from abc7 news , live raking news. >> police had shut down all lanes. host eastbound and westbound lanes were closed, just crippling the evening commute. here are live pictures of sky 7. the red shows you how bad the backup is on 580 as well as 880. they were stopped for quite some time. again, get updates anytime on the abc7 news app . all right, let's move onto the big story of the day. we know indoor gatherings present the highest risk and spread of covid. while there might be slight differences, they all have one
6:30 pm
thing in common. a simple step. wearing a mask indoors to provide one more layer of protection for everyone. >> mask requirements are back in the bay area. you will need to wear them indoors in every county except for napa and solano. new york city stopped just short of issuing a mandate. instead people are strongly urged to wear them indoors. the mayor wants to focus on vaccinations. louisiana brought basque back it asked mandy today. south carolina's editor lindsey graham has tested positive for covid. he is experiencing mild symptoms that says he is glad he got vaccinated. politics and the pandemic could come to a head next month when you vote on recalling governor newsom. >> phil matier joins us live tonight with his perspective, but let's begin with liz. liz, timing is everything.
6:31 pm
>> reporter: the delta variant is likely not what we envision to have the recall earlier in september. the pandemic being behind us, it is now front and center once again just as voters prepare to go to the polls. >> today is a day to celebrate. >> reporter: it was just over six weeks ago california reopened. mask mandate was lifted and governor newsom began proudly claiming california is roaring back. >> back. california is roaring back. >> reporter: the governor faces a tricky dilemma. every move he makes could impact the recall election next month. here is democratic strategist steve mccoy you. >> the governor was hoping this would be behind him. now it is right in front of him. >> reporter: one question is whether newsom will call for the return of a statewide mask mandate. so far he said he is leaving that up to individual counties. >> it feels like this
6:32 pm
interesting intersection where policy meets politics. >> here is a governor who said he is always going by the science but now the science is working against him because they are urging more and more caution. it is a double edged sword him. he trusted science to make decisions and now those decisions might hurt him politically. >> reporter: the campaign manager for rescue california is working to recall newsom. >> do you think the timing now, given the delta variant, will potentially work in your favor? >> i think it will work to their detriment because they are going back to school with masks on and mandated vaccinating. >> reporter: newsom still has some things working to his advantage. namely simple math. >> at the end of the day, it is an arithmetic question. will they turn out for him? he has to motivate them to do that. >> reporter: every registered voter will receive a ballot in the mail sometime this month.
6:33 pm
the recall is tuesday, september 14th. >> we want to convince her this conversation. phil, the timing is certainly becoming tricky for governor newsom and the polls are not going in his favor. >> reporter: no, they are not. the latest poll in berkeley shows almost a 50-50 split in favor and not in favor among those voters who say they are actually going to vote. therein lies the key, getting voters out there and enthused. 90% of the people who want newsom removed say they will vote. 9 out of 10 say they will fill out the ballot and send it in. democrats who favor newsom, less than 60%. he's got what is called an enthusiasm gap. liz, you have been beating the bushes and finding out a bit behind the scenes. how did they plan to deal with that enthusiasm? >> reporter: right. phil, you and i were just talking about this. if you have
6:34 pm
been watching television, there are ads running right now featuring elizabeth warren. they are bringing out the big name democrats to try to help newsom beat this. i still don't even know if it is really working right now. the timing is not only difficult because of the pandemic and the delta variant, but of course because people are on vacation right now. to your point, phil, the people that are paying attention are those who really want to remove newsom. >> phil, the governor is getting a lot of support people in the state. high profile folks. what does he need to do in order to survive this recall? >> reporter: well, what he needs to do is get california back on track with their recovery. the big question there, dan, what do you do when schools reopen? can you get teachers back in the classroom? one thing that is going against him is the delta variant.
6:35 pm
that has stirred up an entire question about health and masking. you will notice he is not mandating masks while other states are. he led the shutdown. he is not leading the masking backup. he is letting other people do it. he is trying to get a little bit of distance there but it'll not be easy for him. he already had the budget and he already spent a lot of money. he has got to get people excited and that is not easy to do in these times. >> good point. >> liz, the gop will vote saturday to endorse one of the alternative candidates. what you know about that? >> reporter: they have decided they will endorse but one of these candidates will have to get at least 60% of support from the gop delegates. in order to get that endorsement, there are four candidates that are eligible to be endorsed. that is larry elder, kevin faulkner, kevin kiley, and doug oc.
6:36 pm
caitlyn jenner is not on that list. neither is john cox, the man who famously brought a live bear to a campaign event. that will happen on saturday. phil, i am curious to know if you think it'll make a difference. >> reporter: you are either for newsom or against him. you are either for the recall or against it just on principle. if gavin newsom is recalled, you don't need a majority to replace him. any one of those republicans could do it. we could wind up with a conservative talk show host, larry, because he is better known than the others. it is not so much with republicans back. it is how strongly they back the recall. that is the difference. >> that is the key difference. phil matier , liz kreutz, thank you both. check out the documentary liz put together about the last recall called total recall. see how arnold schwarzenegger became governor. you will find
6:37 pm
total recall on the abc 7 bay area app on apple tv and other devices as well. coming up next, the unsung heroes that are behind bars. >> it didn't feel like lockdown . it didn't feel like jail. it felt like something else. >> a sneak peek at a new documentary introducing you to team usa is ready for the olympic games, and so is erica! she's got the fastest internet, with wifi speeds faster than a gig. so when all of team usa is going for gold... ...her wifi can power it all, and more. i. love. you. can your internet do that?

new documentary is introducing some of the unexpected young men fighting the wildfires. george pennacchio has the story behind fire boys. >> how many people can say their house was saved by someone incarcerated? >> reporter: between 2018 and 2020, wildfires in california have burned more than 6 million acres. on the front lines fighting the flames alongside professional firefighters are prisoners who live in fire camps who have also been trained to be part of the heroics. fire boys focuses on the incarcerated youth at pine grove incarceration camp in the foothills of the sierra nevada mountains. >> one of the reasons we made fire boys, we wanted people to see who was fighting the fires. >> here is a story that can open up conversation in america about what redemption is and maybe shift the conversation away from the punitive system and more into a restorative
6:43 pm
system. who is more demore of a second chance than someone who has made incredible sacrifices to earn their way out of prison? >> it has helped me become a better worker and a better person. it has taught me a lot of discipline. it has been a long journey. >> to be a firefighter and not an inmate, that meant something to them. >> it didn't feel like lockdown . it didn't feel like jail. it felt like something else. >> you build someone up so they are a firefighter and it decorated as heroes while incarcerated, mind you. >> reporter: firefighting inmates make between two dollars an hour and five dollars an hour. filmmakers believe more needs to be done for them after their release, but for some based on their crimes continuing to fight fires as free men may not be possible. >> all of that that built them up and formed their identities
6:44 pm
as firefighters has been stripped away. >> how do people in california know that they are incarcerated people on the front lines of the fires? i want you to learn more and support those individuals going forward. >> reporter: fire boys is available beginning tomorrow on digital and on-demand. digital and on-demand. in los angeles, california! all of our homes share power. but heat waves can stretch our supply to its limits. flex alerts remind us when to use less energy from 4-9pm. so we can all stay up and running. sign up today. managing type 2 diabetes? on it. on it. on it, with jardiance. they're 22 million prescriptions strong. and heart risk with jardiance. jardiance is a once-daily pill for adults who also have known heart disease. so it could help save your life from a heart attack or stroke.
