once you get above 50 we're going from good to moderate. seeing some of the worst in the north bay today and still looking a little hazy. we'll talk about temperatures that's coming up in the forecast in a few minutes. >> looking forward to that. thank you. nbc bay area is your back-to-school station and this morning a large school district in the bay area is reporting its first case of covid just days after returning to in-person instruction. "today in the bay's" bob redell live for us in san ramon sifting through the numbers this morning. bob, talk about what you've learned. >> well good morning to you, marcus. san ramon valley unified as you mentioned just returned to in-person instruction this past tuesday, is now reporting seven cases of covid among its schools. one of those cases taking place behind me here at california high school in san ramon. take a look at your tv screen, two more cases at san ramon valley high school. one at los cerrso and three at vista grand. find the information on-line at

the covid dash board. it's not clear if the seven cases are among the staff or 30,000 students who attend the schools in this district. regardless statistically speaking, seven cases among 30,000 students and hundreds of staff is low. those who have been infected will be required to stay home for ten days and can return after not showing symptoms after that time period. what about the others who have been exposed to one of these cases. if those people are vaccinated and asymptomatic, they will not have to quarantine. as kris sanchez reported, teachers and students who have been exposed but haven't received shots will have to do a modified quarantine for ten days. this is at any school here in the state of california. so those people in the modified quarantine can continue in-person instruction in the same classroom if they are asymptomatic. they must continue to mask and submit to at least two covid tests per week during the ten-day time period. students also must abstain from

extra curricular activities like sports and other activities. if they develop symptoms during that time, or any time for that matter they would have to isolate at home. reporting live here in san ramon, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks so much. 6:02 right now. happening today, parents can expect to learn more about the reopening of schools during the pandemic. at 10:30 the state superintendent will hold a conference on the importance of getting a vaccine. then the san francisco superintendent will hold an event on what parents and students can expect as kids return to. >> 90% of u.s. coins are experiencing high transmission rates. florida and texas accounting for 40% of new hospitalizations nationwide. flor has seen more n service inside. san francisco city leaders announced that new mandate to

get into places like restaurants, bars and gyms goes into effect next friday. it will be the strictest order in the country, requiring a full vaccination to participate in many indoor activities. restaurant owners with locations popular with tourists say that they are bracing for pushback and confusion. >> it will cost us some business. hopefully the ones that don't have vaccine cards or can show us proof, will be filled by others that do have it. >> when it comes to restaurants diners without proof of vaccination can sit outside. more details now, beware if you are traveling. monday, new orleans will require proof of vaccination or negative covid test for many indoor activities and that includes going to restaurants, gyms, as well as the saints as they play at the super dome. >> kris sanchez has been helping us get through all of this. >> more cities are requiring proof of vaccinations, you have to be ready for it.

>> yeah. we've seen a lot of our bay area public health officers kind of ban together and go with the same guidelines. we're seeing san francisco go first but we could end up seeing some of those restrictions beyond san francisco and around the bay area. you're going to want to have your vaccine card when you travel and be on the safe side as well leaving the bay area. you can carry your paper card that you got wherever you got your shots. a photo will also do the trick. i got mine at levi stadium and have a photo in my picture roll, my camera roll. digital one with the qr code might be more convenient. you can get that one through the california public health department site. if you are trying to verify someone's vaccination you will need more than the qr code reader on your phone because there are privacy measures built in. you need the smart health verifier. it is free. and the download is pretty quick. once you have that app this is what it looks like. you hit that scan vaccination

record box, place it over the vaccine qr code i did at my desk and it shows green for verified, along with the name of the person you're checking, what vaccine they got, when they got it where they got it, this will make it pretty straightforward even for small businesses to verify that vaccine proof because you don't have to buy anything, you can just download the app. >> right. >> you asked if this is going to work when you take your buddy trip to new orleans. and i had to check. according to the big travel guide, experts in this, this is what they say, they say for now, the digital copy of your vaccine record with the qr code is issued state by state. california, new york, and 300 other entities are using the same smart health cards we showed you but they're not universal yet. >> okay. >> some airlines are using travel pass and veri fly. if you're spending money on a

trip take the paper card. >> the real card. >> and make sure it matches your i.d. because they might say like how do i know this is you and they need to make sure. >> exactly. >> so from the last time that you were on i didn't have mine yet, but i did digitally get it. >> yeah. >> it was quick. >> it wasn't that hard to do. >> you said you had trouble early on and a lot of other people did as well and i think that they were just kind of working out the bugs. it's still new. >> people are listening. my fiance texted me to ask, do you have my card? >> i have mine and my husbands. >> i'll get yours later. >> thanks so much. right now, we want to talk about the massive fire fight here. firefighters battling the dixie fire waking up to what was supposed to be a rough night on the frontlines. forecasts call for winds and concerns lightning strikes would add to a difficult time and difficult new dimension for the fire fight effort. last night the fire was 30%

contained with about 510,000 acres already burned. evacuees fearing for their homes have a tracking tool. the department of forestry has launched a map that shows you the status of your homes in the fire's path. flames have destroyed at least 700 of those buildings. at least half of those they are being told are homes. in the meantime a lot of smoke as well. we can think about what those people are going through. it's been moving into the bay area as we take a live look outside across the bay area. meteorologist kari hall joins us now. so the conditions in the sierra, the fire continues to burn. are we going to see more smoke do you think? the patterns moving more so into the bay area this weekend? >> we're having trouble hearing you. she was saying in the north bay we're probably going to see -- we can see the map behind her. we'll check back in and get the microphone bugs worked out.

>> want to get started with the day and a look at the commute. mike inouye keeping us ups to date on what we can expect on the roads. >> the north bay great, start in the south bay where san jose did have a clustering of traffic. a couple of minutes where the frame was packed solid. let's look at the map. we expect to have your typical slowing just north of that shot anyway, but we had a crash at mckee, which is about two exits north of our camera as well and that short section was jammed up, i think that they were able to move all three of those vehicles off to the shoulder in just a couple of seconds and should result in a smoother flow. i'm tracking that. chp is not on scene. the bay moves smoothly, metering lights on, but no backup at the toll plaza. back to you. >> thanks my. delayed again. next on "today in the bay," the issue causing ford to push back production on its bronco suv. >> you thought 2020 was the year of the pandemic but we will go through 2021. facebook says no employee really

state depart a process of working through applicants. this is a temporary mission with a narrow focus. >> it looks likely afghanistan will fall to the taliban but polls show the majority of americans still support this withdraw. it's happening under president biden's watch, but it's part of a peace plan initiated by then president trump who supports biden's actions saying it's a wonderful and positive things to do. presidents may agree what's best for americans but this is hard on afghans. schools are closing, democratically elected officials forced out as the violent group forces its extremist views on towns and cities. president biden speaking out about what happened in tennessee as a school asked students to wear masks to stop the spread of coronavirus. >> i know there are a lot of people out there trying to turn a public safety measure that is children wearing masks in schools so they can be safe into

a political dispute. and this isn't about politics. this is about keeping our children safe. i saw a video and reports of tennessee of protesters threatening doctors and nurses before a school board making the case to keep kids safe there should be mandatory masks. as they walked out the doctors and nurses are threatened. our health care workers are heros, they were the heros when there was no vaccine. many gave their lives trying to save others. they're heros again with the vaccine. >> we're watching what's happening in afghanistan and the fda meeting and we'll be tweeting about that. find me on twitter @scottmcgrew. >> 6:46. the debate over students wearing masks in florida classrooms heads to the courtroom today. a judge is set to hold a hearing about a lawsuit filed by parents
