be close behind as they've seen falling cases per 100,000 and falling positivity rate. the biggest change entering the yellow tier. bars don't have to serve food and are allowed to operate indoors at 25% capacity, some of the other major changes indoor gyms, wineries and tasting rooms can also open indoors at that 50% capacity and as for those live events, big news here, capacity is bumped up to 67%. all of this is coming as that former fda commissioner did announce that pfizer has applied to be able to vaccinate children ages 12 to 15, that could potentially give us millions more shots in arms. as it stands, 72% of all san francisco khans have received at least one dose of that covid vaccine so more folks are getting vaccinated and some restrictions are loosening and the number of covid cases are

offices so people who are hesitant can sit down and have that conversation about it. a live look in los angeles where a vaccine hesitancy is also taking root with the number of appointments dropping, parts of the bay area lines in some places are gone. nearly 40% of the population there is fully vaccinated. cases there are at lows not seen since the start of the pandemic. >> growing support to make bay area public transit more streamlined. 83% favor combining b.a.r.t. and caltrain into a single integrated system. the study was done by the bay area council local public policy group. having one bay area transit agency allows single fairs across all regions. to our climate in crisis coverage, the first day area county to implement new water

single person 16 years or older doesn't have to wait in line, can show up and get a vaccination now. my plea to everyone, get vaccinated now, please. >> of course we're getting that word the government may soon lower the age limit to 12. texas meanwhile closing its mass vaccination site at the dallas cowboy football stadium outside of dallas. consolidating others as demand for vaccine drops. the white house says it will increase the cap on refugees that was set, the cap that was set by the trump administration, this is a reversal from biden's original decision to leave the cap in place, which in turn was a reversal from his campaign promise to allow moretant remin refugee system is a legal way for people to come to america. it's different from what we might call border crossings that regularly make the news.
