so, now, what about parents in gwinnett county, a suburb of atlanta which that county has georgia's highestoronavirus rates. these parents are protesting to get kids back in school. what are their demands? >> reporter: well, i think what we're hearing is that the apartments want options. they say they fully support the other parents who would like to keep their kids at home with virtual learning. but that some of these parents who perhaps have to go out of their homes to work at this point have no options as far as who is going to watch their children who have to stay at home doing this virtual learning. there were a couple hundred parents who gathered outside the school district yesterday to ask for that option. gwinnett county schools had given that option up until recently when they changed to start the school year instead on august 12th virtual only because of the rising numbers that they're seeing in their area, fred. >> lots in flux. natasha chen, thank you so much. >>> coming up, honoring a civil rights icon. right now mourners are remembering congressman john lewis at troy universit

atlanta -- have decided they'll remain closed physically and begin their academic year entirely online. joining us is the superintendent of the dallas independent school district, michael hinojosa, the former superintendent of dekalb county school district in atlanta. they made the decision to delay the august 17th opening. your school district, you're also scheduled to open august 17th. i want to bring up something you told garrett haake last week. let's play that, and we'll talk on the other side. >> think schools will open on time or do you need more time? >> we were planning for this for a while. initially i thought we'd be ready but i'm starting to have second thoughts about, can we pull this off by august 17th. >> all right. that was five days ago. i'm guessing you've had second, third, fourth, fifth thoughts by this time. is august 17th still the day? >> as of right now, but next week i'm having a meeting with our school board and recommend a different plan. think about it. we shut down. there were only 1300 cases in march in the whole state of texas for the whole month. every day in july there have been over 1,000 cases in dallas county every day. so the situation is getting worse. and i was looking at your scree

. >> what do you say to parents, particularly the group of parents in gwinnett county, a suburb of atlanta, and this area happens to be one of the highest coronavirus case rates in the state. but parents are protesting. they are demanding that schools reopen the doors for this new school year, for a couple of reasons. turning to the science of those who say kids, of course, perform better when they're in school and a lot of these parents are saying we don't, you know, have the capacity to stay at home, not go to work or hire someone to help tutor my kid. you know if my kid is doing at-home learning. so what do you tell them? because that is a very -- that's the common predicament that every household is facing right now. they may want something to happen, but then there are restrictions that keep them from having their wishes. what do you say? >> yeah, so to those parents i say, i hear you. i am seeing it in my community, too. parents and families in new york city, which was the first epicenter, which is where i practiced, have had a really rough few months. i know many families who one pa

increase in covid-19 positive numbers that they're experiencing in these much smaller counties. >> i'm jacqueline howard in atlantae state of alabama is now requiring people to wear masks while in public. the new mandate requires most everyone in public and within 6 feet of a person from another household to wear a face covering. children under 6 years old or one of the few exemptions. the mandate is part of an amended safer at home order issued by republican governor kay ivy. the order now makes alabama the 36th state in the u.s. to require face coverings while in public. >> reporter: i'm sara sidner in pasadena where the pasadena tournament of roses parade has done something they haven't done in 75 years or so since world war ii, they are canceling the rose parade. it is a huge disappointment for this and surrounding communities, because it does bring in millions of dollars, but it also brings in a lot of fun and beauty to the city. it is usually right down this boulevard here. that is not going to happen. why? because organizers say with covid-19 around, they simply cannot guarantee the safety of the volunteers

fulton county, that's where most of atlanta is. 10,995 total cases.you say, look, we got to take a step back. stay home except for essential trips. wear the mask is a must. restaurants only doing to-go and delivery. the governor says, slow down. we don't need it. overrules. your take. >> chris, it is baffling to me that the governor, who did not know that this was even transmitted through asymptomatic transmission is still not looking at the science and the data. i didn't pull this out of the air. we had an advisory commission a few months ago that was comprised of fortune 500 business representatives, small business owners, people from public health entities, across the board representative of the community. we work with bloomberg associates to come up with a set of metrics that would determine how atlanta moved through phases of reopening. we had moved to phase two per the data and the metrics, based on where we are with icu capacity, based on where we are with transmission rates, based on a number of scientific, independently vetted data. we've now

gwinnett county announcing last week rather than a hybrid of in-personer and virtual learning students start entirely online. cnn's natasha chen in atlanta for us. what are people saying about this latest decision? >> reporter: fred, it's a very mixed reaction, and gwinnett county is not the only place going all virtual. there are several districts all over the atlanta metro area that have recently announced that they're either delaying the school year start or both delaying and going all virtual so you have a variety of parents relieved and some that are very upset. >> that's our future! >> reporter: during a typical summer break, children aren't usually running toward a school building demanding to go to class but in the midst of a pandemic, these students and parents outside of atlanta are protesting the state's largest school district's change of heart on reopening going all virtual instead of offering some in-class options. >> all of a sudden two weeks before school, you know, the rug's getting pulled out from underneath us all and scrambling. >> reporter: kelly said she understands the health risks and respecteds parents that wish

atlanta. at least a dozen other counties and cities across the state of georgia have mask mandates. in fact two other mayors said just today, athens and savannah, that they plan to continue their mask mandates because of two reasons, the same as mayor keisha lance bottoms, safety and science. and what makes this all even more perplexing is that governor brian kemp is not an anti-masker. he had one on earlier in marietta, everyone around him had them on. two weeks ago when he was flying around the state on his "mask up" tour to encourage people to wear masks, numbers were better than they were today. georgia has been experiencing a record number of hospitalizations and deaths from covid-19. it's perplexing why it's come to this. but according to the governor, the mayor of atlanta is not adhering to his order, wolf, and they're going to take legal action. >> wearing masks will save lives, period. dianne gallagher, thank you very much. >>> let's go to florida, randi kaye is on the scene. randi, the state recorded a record of 156 deaths as new cases are soaring right now. are hospitals

in addition to atlanta, the city of savannah, athens, clark county all of them, a handful of other municipalities have put mask mandates in place, they said they are going to keep those in place. before we get into this legal back and forth, let's talk about the battle over covid here in the state of georgia, steve. you know, when we talk about the numbers, the latest numbers here in georgia show more than 3,900 additional cases just over the past 24 hours. those are some of the highest single day totals that we've seen since this pandemic began. we also know that hospitalizations have gone up 39% over the past week, and so when you look at the numbers, it's clear that they're moving in the wrong direction. i think anyone would agree to that. so when we talked with governor kemp today at that news conference earlier this morning, one of the many questions that i, other reporters that were there asked him is listen, he's been encouraging masks. he doesn't say masks shouldn't be worn. he kind of mounted a statewide tour flying from city to city, encouraging people to wear a mask. when it comes to e

to put that in perspective, here within the metro atlanta area and orange county, we now have about 27,000es of positive covid-19 situations, but within miami, for example, that is nearly 105,000. they've had about 1,400 deaths. whereas here within orange county, we've had 173 deaths. so what we're seeing here is a flattening of the new cases here within our community to below the double digits. >> flattening is good. that is definitely better than spiking. and so what does all of that mean for the schools in your area, mayor? as you sit there this morning, can you tell parents that it is safe to reopen schools in a few weeks? >> you know, that's a good question. because i'm not sure that it is necessarily safe. remember here in florida, our governor has put forth an order that has mandated that all school districts within the state of florida must open during the month of august. so to some extent, he took away the ability of local elected officials to make the decision on their own. so our district has done something, they have tried to provide options to parents. so essentially, the sch

. >> and then there are a lot of parents in an atlanta suburb in the county of gwinnett expressing their concerns because they really want their kids, you know, back in school, as does everybody, but they have very specific demands. what are they? >> and the trouble is, fred, that from the gwinnett county school standpoint, there have been multiple protests. those parents protesting friday wanted to have the option of sending their kids back into a building but there were also teachers earlier in the week protoapr protesting they didn't feel comfortable with that. it's really a tough situation for district officials to be in. they said they changed their plan from offering both virtual and in-classroom to an all virtual plan starting august 12th when they saw how serious the numbers are and that presents a problem perhaps for some parents who need to work outside the home. and now this becomes a child care issue, fred. >> all right. natasha chen in atlanta, thank you so much. >>> now to florida where officials today reported more demoralizing numbers there. 124 floridians lost their live

preventing any city or county from enacting a mask or face covering mandate was brand-new last night. and look, he's had a pretty public back and forth with the mayor of atlanta even before president trump touched down here. saying that her mask mandate was unenforceable. so this language seems targeted here. there's about a dozen cities and counties that have mask mandates in georgia. the city of savannah was one of the first to enact one and the mayor went on twitter last night saying it is officially official. governor kemp does not give a damn about us. every man and woman for himself or herself. ignore the science and survive the best you can. adding in savannah, we will follow the science. masks will continue to be available. of course, jim, you mentioned those hospitalization numbers on wednesday. they were double the new hospitalizations that they were on tuesday. we are continuing to see new cases and deaths go up here in georgia. >> yeah, george will had a good line on the editorial when you mix politics and science, you get politics. dianne gallagher, thanks very much. >> no truer words. >>> still to come amid the ongoing pandemic, the nation's top

the atlanta journal-constitution goes on to say the legal complaint filed by the governor in fulton county court came one day after kemp signed a statewide order that explicitly banned cities and counties from enforcing mask mandates. atlanta and a dozen other cities have adopted requirements to filing her from kemp that encourages but does not mandate them. if you want to read more, ajc.com is where you can go today. this is a map of states around the country. the states in blue, the states that have mandatory mask laws in their states. that is 28 states in addition to the district of columbia. this map courtesy of axios this morning on their website. those states and the district of columbia with some form of mask mandate, as new infections surge across the country. some of those orders are going back months into april and may. the latest ones coming out of colorado and alabama and arkansas, as we show you. asking you to call in this money, asking you, should mask wearing in pump -- this morning, asking you, should mask wearing in public be mandatory? in a webcast, talking about universa

atlanta. blayne, it's talk about this decision by governor kemp to forbid mayors and county leaders from ordering face coverings around the state. what's the reaction there, especially from atlanta's mayor? >> reporter: well, the reaction for those local leaders who have already put those measures into place, not very happy. i spoke with the mayor's office, atlanta mayor's office earlier today. they said despite the governor's order, their mask ordinance here locally is going to remain in place. a spokesperson from her office essentially said they're going to continue to use science and data to drive their decisions and adding, masks save lives. let's talk about the governor's decision around this. really this kind of is very much in line with what he's been saying all along, andrea, saying that local municipalities are not able to put in place actions or orders that are more restrictive than what he has mandated statewide. he said that he believes that mandating masks are what he calls a bridge too far. he says ohe believes it's unenforceable. but what he does with this order last night is essen
