couple of records out there. oakland and half moon bay so far, the official temperatures have not been released. when they are, we could have some more. we are going to see and feel more record high temperatures tomorrow. we are outside. remove the one for -- the weather center outside. we have all the slaves up peered took the coat off and enjoying the late afternoon, early evening. let's take a look at those highs peered 75 in oakland. half moon bay, 77 and very windy for most of the morning into the early afternoon hours. that helped you tie the 77 in 2016. we have 80 in cloverdale for the worms but peered at the airport in oakland, significantly cooler around the water. 69 in los gatos. everyone else in the low to mid 70's. you can head out now or through the evening hours.

we have good clean air. look how far you can see behind me all the way over to oakland and san leandro. when we come back with the big weather, we have more record highs tomorrow. i will pinpoint if your city is one of those. >> the masks will be coming up next week in most of the bay area. santa clara county is the only exception. >> we have team coverage for you this afternoon. let's begin with david louis. >> the change brings near universal uniformity to a region where people have seen mask requirements come and go. masks become optional for vaccinated people and a most indoor settings starting next wednesday with the exception of santa clara county. masks will be required for an vaccinated people over age two. san francisco's health officer says a high rate of vaccination,

and the level of hospitalizations combined make this change possible. because we have been required to wear a mask for so long, taking them off is going to be a real change and it is going to be an individual choice. some people will be comfortable with it. others will not. is this owners will be free to decide whether to require customers to wear masks. >> i am glad we are finally going to have that opportunity. it is going to be somewhat of a relief. i will be able to see people's faces again . >> the general manager of an outdoor coaching business welcomes the change. >> it is only good for us to be able to get back to a normal pre-covid time where we can breathe fresh air and do our own thing. >> others raise concern for children should >> i think it is a little too soon. throw children under five not eligible to be vaccinated.

children under 12 can't have a booster. spring break is coming, which will cause another uptick. >> i will continue to wear a mask indoors even though i am vaccinated and boosted and we should all be doing that from this point forward until cases come down further. >> even though the state one a longer require masking and doors for vaccinated people, the santa clara county health director announced this morning she is not ready to follow state guidelines. >> we are taking a different course in santa clara county in that we are continuing to follow our data and metrics to tell us when it is appropriate to lift. >> dr. sarah cody says she will look at three metrics. vaccination rates, hospitalizations and number of cases. she says the county has 1900 cases a day. >> our goal is 550 cases per day

seven day moving average and we hold for a week before we left. our models suggest we make it there sometime in march, early mid-march. >> some residents say they don't think it makes sense to have different rules for different counties. >> we don't live far away from each other so i think it is stupid to be honest because we live in the same state. we all travel. we live and work in different counties pit i feel it is hypocritical. everybody should be treated the same should >> others tell us they trust in those making the decisions. >> i believe in masks paired in everyone is getting tired of these but it does some great good. i think we kind of go with it. >> residents over here in menlo park will not have to wear masks starting next week in public places but here in santa clara county and palo alto, they will. the health director is

recommending and n95 masks or that you lay up with a cloth and a surgical mask to slow the spread of covid. >> joining us now live is abc7news contributor although potato should what is your take on the relaxing of the mandate? about time or too much too soon? >> based on what the metrics look like, i'm going to say it is about time and i think san francisco has been a responsible population with respect to getting vaccines and respecting all the restrictions. if you look at the test positivity rate, the last documented day was 6.8%. i expect we will get the single digits. i think it is time we show people there is an offramp and have the option to take those mask off if you are vaccinated. >> the cdc as you know was sticking by its masking recommendations for the moment. what is your judgment on that?

>> i think the cdc is in a precarious position because they want to offer federal guidance but at the same time they don't want to make a call that will lead to more outbreaks. there is a discrepancy between what the cdc calls high transmission meeting more than 50 cases per 100,000 . we are -- it is concerning states are differing from what the cdc is doing and i hope there is more of a universal conversation ahead. >> there are people getting vaccinations now that it is making a difference and masking will not matter at this point? what do you think about that? >> i don't think we should say masks don't matter. the leap of faith is based on background vaccination rates, national immunity and people still doing the responsible thing like staying home if they have symptoms. i think as we get more data and

more reasons to get vaccinated, we should see an uptick that includes getting the emergency use authorization and getting vaccines approved for the younger kids. hopefully all of it works together to keep her vaccination rates continuing to go higher until we get more of the population with the shot. >> when california lifts its indoor mask meant it next week, that will not include schools. i got a chance to talk about that today with california's first partner. i asked her hypothetically if there were no mass committee and a schools right now, would she ask her children to keep wearing them in class? >> i would encourage my children to keep wearing them because unfortunately we have seen people not be responsible around them and not care about their health. it is part and parcel two needing to feel safe in your community and knowing we still

have to remain billet -- remain vigilant to >> the first partner says talk are happening right now to determine when the right time will be for schools to have it become optional. less than a week before the mask mandate expires, governor newsom was in oakland today on another covid-related topic. extending paid six leave -- paid sick leave. >> governor gavin newsom on wednesday saying california's recovery from covid-19 is strong . >> 152,000 january 4. >> governor newsom was in southern california to sign a bill. it comes as the statewide mask mandate is set to expire next week. it is something businesses have been looking forward to. >> i think the pressure is a little bit relieved off of us. >> billy joe on zeal eyes club

in oakland could he closed for the whole month of january to protect his workers. he hopes the worst is behind him and with no mask mandate people will feel more comfortable going to his are. >> people are going to file let more comfortable. i think some people are going to be hesitant. some people will choose to wear their mask, which is totally fine and something we are used to. >> this bill is similar to the one that expired in september. it applies to businesses that have 26 or more employees and makes sure workers get paid for missing time to care for a loved one with covid or get a vaccine and recover from side effects. >> to keep employees, keep patrons, keep employers safe and healthy and businesses out in and operationalized. >> this bill will expire in september but governor newsom hopes rates will be lower and the economy will be even stronger. >> i think we are moving in a direction that will be embraced

happening. over the past month from january 7 to february 7, the san mateo county sheriff's office reports there been 65 misdemeanor arrests. of the 14 felony were booked in jail but four were cited and released at the same should we spoke to somebody . . working inside the sheriff's office who has concerns about the impact of the policy this person used someone else's voice. >> it started with not looking for minor offenses but in the past couple weeks there have been some really serious criminals released into our communities. >> this is another example out of san mateo county. the 23-year-old was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon and a loaded firearm in a car. he was cited and released. this moksha as from -- this moksha is from -- this mug shot

the jail is responsible for the booking. the agency highlights their commitment to transparency but we have not received a clear answer as to why mr. walton was released given he was already on felony probation. >> thanks for chas thanks for you can contact the i team if you have a story you think needs to be investigated. >> union filed a lawsuit against the city and county of san francisco. they allege retaliation for whistleblowing related to public corruption should melanie woodrow has the story. >> the 37 page lawsuit filed by laborers international union local 261 against the city and county of san francisco alleges gender discrimination and retaliation based on whistleblowing of public corruption. >> what they did was hire their
