That came dangerously close to some homes. Some people said they grabbed whatever they could and evacuated as quickly as possible. One man said the smoke started coming right into his house. Right away, we got the kids out and got them in our van. I took a look in the back, and sure enough, there was a big fire coming out from the freeway. Just in time to get the kids out. Interstate 880 scorched an area around an oil refinery, but no evacuations have been ordered. Around 2 00, a fire erupted on 680 that led to all of the south bound lanes being closed. That fire burned about five acres before it was brought under control. In santa clara county, the cruz fire burns near gilroy. 2,000 acres have been destroyed. That fire is 20 containd.

Nothing tells the story better than this graph. Its not the full story, but a good snapshot of the situation right now. Each blue bar represents the number of new coronavirus cases diagnosed each day in the bay area. The yellow line is the rolling average of the last seven days of new cases. That line continues to set new records reaching higher than ever before. Building a better bay area during the pandemic means focusing efforts on key areas. First health. Also education. Our changing workplaces and the economy. Were going to dig into each area in the next ten minutes. Well start with the economic turmoil in the biggest county in the bay area. In santa clara county, restaurants are trying to decide if they should continue serving indoors amid confusion on the states crackdown on local businesses. The county hasnt received a formal permission for outdoor dining. Heres the story from san jose.

We believe that the strategy is the right approach to keep the county safe. Reporter deputy executive david compos says officials are talking with the state about their decision that can be blamed on the local coronavirus rate. Outdoor dining the state says is a violation of the governors stay at home order. Over the weekend, thousands of restaurants and bars up and down california were visited by agents from the department of alcoholic Beverage Control and warned about possible citations should they continue to serve food outside. However, county Officials Say the state order didnt expressly forbid them from authorizing outdoor dining. We will continue to say that unless and until the state informs us directly thats not the case, and up to today, we have not received any information from any state agency that that in fact is not true. Reporter the county says it continues to have talks with the state over what should happen next. In the meantime, local Business Owners that have yet to reopen are anxiously awaiting the outcome as customers seek ways to support them. Thats human nature, and thats part of the fabric of our gem is people coming together in our community, and there is a value to that. Reporter in san jose, chris nguyen, abc7 news. You know longer can have a meal inside a restaurant. The county reopened Indoor Dining a week ago, but announced a reversal last night. Since friday, there have been more than 100 new coronavirus cases in marin county, which is now on the states watch list. The ban on Indoor Dining is in effect for at least three weeksn prison have tested positive for coronavirus. Five death row inmates have ded. The governor said today the goal is to reduce the inmate population by 1500 to 3,028. Im going through individual by individual, people with medical needs that are acute. People that are fast tracking, expediting parole review. Death row inmate brent volverich says he was one of the first to get covid19. He blames the spread on poor ventilation. All these guys around you coughing and disgusting coughs all day, all night. And going upwards, going sideways and being pulled into your cell. If you dont know how to block your cell vents, then its all there. He says frizzer ersays pris getting hot meals because no one is working in the kitchen. The plan is to bring in more staff from other prisons. Statewide, all of the major metrics continue to indicate that coronavirus is a growing threat. Cases, hospitalizations, and the weekly average test positivity rate, they are all on the rise. The percent of coronavirus tests coming back positive has grown to 7. 2 . Just to give you a comparison. It was less than 5 two weeks ago. Close to 5800 people are in the hospital right now. Two weeks ago, fewer than 4,000. More than 250,000 people diagnosed with the virus in california, thats up nearly 100,000 in two weeks. These numbers are why some reopening plans are now being reversed. Stephanie sierra is live with that story and the economic impact. Stephanie . Reporter the state is very clear, if a county is on the watch list or monitoring list for three days or longer, reopening will be rolled back. Now with several bay area counties jumping on and off the watch list, some Business Owners are struggling to prepare. We have counties that come on and counties that are coming off. Reporter the governor announced today, theres 23 counties now on the states watch list, showing worsening coronavirus trends. And several bay area counties are bouncing on and off that list. Contra costa was on, back off now. Reporter these are areas that show concerning covid trends for at least three days. Contra costa county joined the list a week ago, when covid cases were rising for more than 6300 on june 29th to over 9700 june 30th. But notice later that week, cases dipped back to around 6500. Contra costa off the list, now back on again. All the back and forth being referred as the yoyo effect. Its taking a toll on Business Owners like ben. He owns buttercup, a diner in concord. The problem with the yoyo effect is, if you keep getting on the list, off the list, and youre open for Indoor Dining, then not open, and outdoor, to go, patio, you cant plan your business based on these everchanging variables. You need to know who to how many people you need to hire, how much staff you need. Reporter hes concerned about how much food to buy for six of his diners located across the bay area. Several of which are in counties that have been circulating on and off the watch list. The yoyo effect creates so many different variables. Its just not a situation that is going to create a successful atmosphere for businesses in the longterm. Reporter but it will likely become the new reality for many, as the number of covid cases and hospitalizations continue to rise. Now the governor shared an update on enforcement today. Over the holiday weekend, alcohol Beverage Control conducted lose to 6,000 inperson visits and 52 citat n citations were issued. So steph, more on enforcement, which just started in earnest. How are other state agencies starting to help out here . We know theres ten state agencies that are involved in helping counties with enforcement. For example, osha over the weekend helped contact more than 441,000 Business Owners just in the past few days. But the governor pointed out a majority of those businesses corrected deficiencies on the spot. So it will be interesting to see how this program evolves. Stephanie sierra reporting live, thank you.

Abc7 News Reporter Leeann Melendez spoke to some teachers about their concerns. Reporter when oakland unified announced that 60 employees had retired at the end of june, we werent too surprised. You see every year at this time, oakland and San Francisco unified resort to job fairs to try to lure new educators because every year, theres a shortage. This time, the interviews are conducted online. San francisco unified told us their vacancies are lower this year than in previous years. Primarily because of the economy. In a recession, people are less likely to take risks, more likely to stay in the job theyre in. That certainly is what we have seen in our district. The last time we had a seismic recession, and it seems to be whats happening now. Reporter but teachers we spoke to say some educators are having second thoughtsrning, gi the pandemic.

Let me show you the current conditions, only 75 degrees, very low relative humidity, so its very dry all around the bay area. The sustained wind is relatively light right now, only 3 Miles Per Hour. Gusts up to 18 Miles Per Hour, and they have been even higher from time to time, so well just have to keep an eye on the conditions there for you, because it doesnt look like the wind is going to light up significantly. You can see across the bay area right now, we have wind speeds and gusts up to 25 Miles Per Hour. They were up to 40 Miles Per Hour about an hour ago in San Francisco. So weve got windy conditions here. Thankfully its cooler than it was yesterday at this hour. Weve got anywhere from 5 to 14 degrees drop in temperatures over the last 24 hours. 61 in San Francisco. Oakland 67. 74 in san jose. 82 gilroy, 58 at pacifica. In the north bay and over to the inland east bay, 88. Pet lulaluma 82. And these are the forecast features. Well see fog near the coast and bay during the overnight and Early Morning hours. A mild, steady weather pattern and warms up rather significantly at the end of the week. And that warming will continue through the weekend. Tonight, though, mainly clear skies inland. And around the bay, we might see a patch or two of fog. Certainly some fog will develop overnight and into the Early Morning. Overnight lows, mid to upper 50s. Tomorrow, breezy at the coast, lingering fog in some coastal spots. Highs range from low 60s at the coast to mid 70s around the bay, to mid and up inland highs over the weekend in the mid to upper 90s. Mid 80s around the bay shoreline. Mid sikts 60s on the coast. Its going to get warmer, but dont expect a heat wave or hot spell. Just warmer than it is right now. Its going to remain dry through the week. And looks like were in a breezy pattern for a while. So there will be high fire concerns over the next several days. And it doesnt look like they will go away any time soon, because were going into a long, dry summer. Thank you, spencer.

Reporter he recovered at home and donated his plasma four times. But during his last donation, his doctor noticed his antibody levelsed a diminished. I thought they would stay active for longer. Over time, you can see how the antibody profile changes. Reporter dr. George yu said what hes seeing in his patients coincides with a new study that shows covid19 antibodies fade around eight weeks after recovery, raising questions whether the illness leads to any lasting immunity. There are very few cases of people that have been shown to be reinfected. Reporter yet, dr. Yu says theres not enough evidence to show that recovered patients are protected. In spain, where there were a lot of outbreaks, only 5 of the population had antibodies. You need 60 to 70 to have herd immunity this recent outbreak again, ive kind of selfsecluded myself in the house again. Reporter Officials Say these findings suggest the only way well achieve herd immunity is with a vaccine. Until then, we need to follow all the Health Public protocols, wear masks, wash hands and stay apart. The future is bright. We will come up with a way to help everyone.

The number one question im getting every day, and most certainly the number one question today during the tax chat was, ive sent in my forms, i havent got my money, will i get my money . Let me tell you this, if you sent your form to the irs offices over in fresno, its probably just sitting there. Nothing has happened. If you sent your paper return in, and we closed down, it may still be there but not processed because our staff there pretty much left the building per the rules and guidelines of covid19 and are slowly coming back. As a matter of fact, last monday. Reporter so you may be wondering, should you then efile a second return to try to get your refund faster . Or if you owe, should you even send in a second check. Laura ross of the California Society of cpas says that is probably not a good idea. Weve been asked as cpas if weve sent in a form and had no response, please dont send another one, because well increase their back load. Sending a check into the irs, if you mailed a paper check, theres a chance that its taking a while for them to get that open and you should not send another paper check.

Overnight, mainly clear skies continue with breezy conditions. Lows in the mid to upper 50s. Tomorrow, another day much like today. Perhaps a couple degrees warmer, upper 80s there. Mid 70s around the bay. Low 60s on the coast. The accuweather sevenday forecast, gradual warming going into the end of the week, and over the weekend, temperatures bounce up to mid 90s, maybe even a couple of upper 90s inland. 60s on the coast and very little change from that rather warm pattern going into early next week. Larry and ama . Thank you, spencer. No nfl team will do business with colin kaepernick, at least nobody has offered him a contract we know about. But one of the leagues partners will.

Major League Baseball released their abbreviated 60game schedule today. The giants open at the dodgers july 23rd. One of two games that day. The rest of baseball opens up on friday the 24th. The as host the angels to open the season. Speaking of oakland, they won 97 games last year, but finished second to houston. 7 of those 10 games against the stros will be at the coliseum this year. Houstons first trip to oakland will be in august. Every game is going to really count, even more so this year. So i think its a little extra motivation to get out there and compete each game and do as best as we can, and, yeah, its just going to be a challenge for sure. As i mentioned, the giants open up a fourgame series july 23rd. All four games nationally televised. 7 of the 10 games will be in l. A. Only three here in San Francisco. The giants tengame road trip will be in colorado. Mad bum will return with the dbacks twice. Gabe kapler happy to have a schedule back no matter what it looks like. It feels like Christmas Morning and you open up a present and not sure if you like it or not. The reason the schedule is tough, theres a lot of good teams in our division, and theres a lot of good teams in the American League west. So my definition, no matter how you slice it, well come up with a tough schedule. There will be six bay bridge series games, the first tee in mid august at oracle park, the second three at the coliseum in mid semt. Fc dallas has withdrawn, ten players and one staff member testing positive for covid19. Dallas, who was also in group b with san jose, they were set to play september 20. That will not happen. And Patrick Mahomes just got paid, agreeing to a tenyear extension with kansas city, worth 503 million. Mahomes now has the largest contract in american pro sports history, passing the angels mike trout. Time now for abc 7 call my play. You send the video, larry calls the action. I brew for a reason.
