Reporter thats because of sctm blue right is right next to uv light which is very harmful.

Our health as we deal with the pandemic is key to building a better bay area. The latest data from the state reveals the number of new cases on sunday were above average at 7,751. The number of hospitalizations was below average. They went down by 110 patients. 66 people have died since the last update, but that is below average. And Governor Newsom says those numbers are accurate now that a glitch that distorted test results has been fixed. But now counties on the states watch list are waiting to see what this means for them. Abc7 News ReporterAmy Hollyfield is live in walnut creek. Amy . Well, kumasi, businesses like restaurants really need this data so their counties can try to get off the watch list so they can start reopening. Governor gavin newsom says now that the computer glitch is fixed, he expects to see individual counties start to update theire counts by mid week. That is the First Step Towards monitoring how they are doing. But at the same time, the governor does not expect major changes. I should just say this, i dont expect dramatic changes in the monitoring list. There will be some modifications, but i dont expect dramatic changes. So, that is a little bit of a preview. Some county Health Officers have criticized that watch list saying the standards are nearly impossible to meet. Which is bad for businesses. 38 counties on the watch list including all the bay area counties and that impacts businesses closing many indoor lo and restaurants. Those companies are allowed to operate outside with some restrictions but here in walnut creek it is expected to be very hot later this week and could make eating outside very uncomfortable and businesses apgtioap anxious to open indoors, as well. The First Step Towards getting rid of this glitch towards maybe getting towards that point. Amy hollyfield, abc7 news. Thank you, amy. We know it can be hard to keep track of whats open and where. Were continuously updating this interactive map that keeps track of all of it and details where each county is on the reopening timeless depending on where you live.

Governor newsom says the state will not be able to contribute. This comes after President Trump signed an executive order that would give 400 a week to those who are unemployed. States would have to contribute 100 of that amount. Governor newsom says the state doesnt have the matching funds required. He estimates that would cost california 700 million a week. There is no money sitting in the piggy bank of the previous cares act to be reprioritized or reconstituted for this purpose. Simply does not exist. We need the federal government to front those dollars. The governor did not say how or when californians who need that money will get it. Hundreds of people crowd Newport Beach in Southern California for a masked religious service. The crowd protested covid19 restrictions and stayathome orders yesterday. They were not Wearing Masks and social distancing. Instead they sang and hung out at the beach and right there you see them doing baptisms in the ocean. God gave me the word for covid instead of covid19 christ overcoming victory and disease psalm 19. Thats what i believe. Covid. If you have issues, then stay home. But, you know what, there are thousands of protesters, they didnt have masks on. So, were protesting for jesus. Police were watching the ceremony admitting their ability to stop it was limited. Education is a major part of building a better bay area, especially right now as students are returning to school. Many School Districts are starting off the year with Distance Learning because of covid19 and today San Franciscos board of education is expected to ratify a deal that the School District made with the Teachers Union. The teachers signed off on it yesterday and guarantees at least two hours of live online instruction every day. Teachers will get additional training and planning time, plus a stiven to help with the cost of working from home. School starts next monday. On the peninsula, schools in south San Francisco are pushing back the start of the academic year. Now theyll start on monday instead of tomorrow as originally planned. Schools will use Distance Learning for at least the first three weeks and bring students back to schools in phases, if conditions allow. In Contra Costa County classes start on thursday but what Distance Learning looks like is a product of negotiations with teachers and also the result of extensive input from parents and students. Much of what they will see this fall are from lessons from last spring. Classes will offer more interactive experience. An Elementary School student will be in School Virtually 8 00 to 2 00. In a given class period we expect 50 to 60 of that time would be the teacher directly talking to the kids and instructing them and working with the kids. The rest of that time, while kids are in class, may be independent learning, group learning, onetoone time. Districts also plan to have more resources for parents to make sure that they can help their kids succeed. The pandemic is not only impacted academics, but also impacting college sports. We expect that later today. Well hear from two major football conferences. We think theyre going to say theyll postpone their season. Jobina at the live desk can with more on that. Top officials from the pac12 and big 10 will meet to decide the fate of the college fall football season. I know a lot of people are anticipating this announcement. According to our Sister Network espn its likely the season will be postenpoed, whether thats for a few weeks or until the spring is up in the air. The sec commissioner spoke on gma this morning saying they delayed making a decision on purpose. Weve been very deliberate in our decisionmaking. Not put young people into helmet and pads for practice and thoughtful about what this entire summer may look like. We moved the start of our season back to september 26th, three weeks after the last of our campuses return because were going to be continuing monitoring what happens in our communities and our states. You can watch this full interview coming up on gma that starts at 7 00 right here on abc7 mornings. If the pac12 and big ten it is likely big conferences will follow suit. The Mountain West conference postponed its football season so that impacts san jose state university. Thank you, jobina. Coming up, new zealand just marked a major milestone 100 days with no cases of local transmission. But now it appears the virus may have reemerged.
