4:04 pm

now reporting hi community transmission. in mid june, no states were reporting hi transmission and just six were reporting substantial transmission. now to the ongoing debate over masking up outdoors. a new mandate gets underway tomorrow in oregon after rise in delta-fueled covid infections. could california be next? stephanie sierra spoke to doctors on both sides of the conversation. reporter: opinions are mixed on this. several infectious disease physicians are saying the outdoors is not as safe as we might think in the age of delta. some support an outdoor mask mandate and others think there is a need for one in certain high-risk settings. throughout the pandemic, we faced a revolving door of masking rules. masks on. >> i would mask up. reporter: masks off. in the face of delta. >> let's go back to masking. reporter: it is masks on indoors.
4:07 pm
>> and outdoor mask mandate is appropriate at this time. reporter: dr. michael wasserman sits on california's vaccine advisory committee. he advised the state during the height of the pandemic. >> to because you are outdoors does not mean if you are standing close to somebody who has the virus that you are not at risk. reporter: a stanford infectious disease physician agrees, masking up in high-risk settings outdoors should be mandated. >> droplets could contain more virus floating out into the air than what was happening last year when people work together outdoors. reporter: experts are worried about the heightened transmission following the black lives matter large, unmasked crowds. but the rallies did not contribute to surges. it is unclear if that would happen again in the face of delta. >> with delta we don't know that under the same circumstances there would have also not been much spread. reporter: oregon will be the
4:08 pm
first state in the country to reimpose an outdoor mask mandate citing a rise in delta fueled infections and hospitalizations. while california is not seeing the same spike, hospitalizations are increasing, even in the bay area. do you think we need an outdoor mandate? >> i don't think we need an outdoor mask mandate. we have had almost six months of delta and has been not a study that shows increasing outdoor transmission. reporter: in oregon, outbreaks have been tied to large gatherings like music festivals. would a to giants game area similar risk? >> it depends on your behavior. if you are next to someone shouting and coughing on them, they are going to be exposed. reporter: the risk assessment is key. if you are at a packed giants game and you don't know the vaccination status of those screaming and cheering around you, he would wear a mask. he added he would not be as concerned if he was listening to
4:09 pm
stevie nicks at bottlerock, a big, spread out field. >> thank you. a member of our vaccine team is joining us. outdoor masking? we have gone from no pandemic, everything is fine, too mask up outdoors, to mask up and indoors, to we are ok again, return to the office, take off your mask, to put your mask back on again indoors, to maybe put it back on outdoors. i think i have covered it all. where are you? >> who is not tired of it? when we talk about the outdoor masking, i don't think we need a mandate saying the minute you step outside, put a mask on. i do not think that is the way to go. i do understand certain situations where may be required, such as mega events.
4:10 pm
things where you were going to have thousands of people gathering. your exposure, yousts, concertsy these were linked to two cases, but that is also because people are not wearing masks, eating, doing whatever. we have a more contagious variant of this virus. it is not necessarily that being outside all of a sudden you are completely safe. >> if i'm running down the embarcadero i probably don't need a mask, but if there are a bunch of us at the giants game, we do. booster shots, where are we with the research? it appears that is coming. >> it very well may be. the research is pointing that direction. the headlines yesterday were that booster data from johnson & johnson and pfizer were available. johnson & johnson showing
4:11 pm
antibody levels were up nine times higher after getting a booster shot six months after the initial. pfizer is about three times higher.th sparkeperis anth fact that antibodies, neutralizing antibodies, are only one part of your defense. but it is possible this might curb eventually those breakthr ough infections, but it might lead to less spread also. this could just be preventative. we might be able to get ahead of what may happen in the future. this is not nearly as important as trying to get the other 50% of this country vaccinated, which is where we need to make sure we have targeted messaging. >> i want to point out, viewers can email questions for us. it can be so confusing and constantly changing. teresa asked a good question. should you space out the booster and the flu shot, which we have kind of forgotten about. we are pushing that time of year
4:12 pm
when flu shots are on people's minds. >> i can't believe we are already here. i want to thank teresa for coming to us for questions. rather than the rabbit hole of social media, which can be troubling. there is no reason you cannot get those shots administered at the same time. the advisory committee, the immunization practices, the cdc put out a statement, i believe in july, saying it is ok to co-administer these shots. it is important people get the vaccinations they may be missing, not only for young kids, but flu season is approaching. the last thing we want to see is the double surge. this year, restrictions are lifted and people are trying to get back to that new normal. it is important you get your flu shot, but also that you get them both. >> thanks for your time and insight. >> evacuations underway. hundreds still out of their
