different school districts, so it will mean different things for different people as we try to sort that out for you this morning. it happened late in the evening yesterday. we didn't even tell the kids before they went to bed because we thought we would let them enjoy the evening and gather answers before we opened the door. >> the thing about it, we all knew this was a possibility, but to actually hear the governor speak those words, gave it another meaning. kris sanchez reporting live from her home for us. it is 4:35. google's parent company making strides in ramping up this bay area drive-through testing operation. verily launched project baseline. with the assistance from the state of california. one is now open at the santa clara county fair grounds but no walk-ups are allowed. people can only qualify after taking an online screening.
