Pam moore has the night off. Here we go again with the Delta Variant on the rise. There is new concern about children going back to school to kind of depressing here. The start of the new School Year just around the corner and some parents and school officials are worried after the new Guidance Today from the cdc will get to that momentarily. First, though, Kron Fours Terisa Stasio reports so far it seems that schools are a go for the fall. From the East Bay. We understand and weve learned through the science to San Francisco. We as a district are completely confident to the south bay. We very much want to get back in the classroom and see our students superintendents and union representatives weighing in on returning. Back to the classroom and the Delta Variant gaining velocity in communities threatening to sicken even more people. So many schools shut down during the pandemic some returning with cohorts. But now school officials say that day have learned a lot and feel well prepared students crack open books in classrooms once again. Collective like. But we are nervous about how this variant is playing out right and the numbers that that are the bottom line, officials say is teamwork that it will take everyone following protocols as we continue in this pandemic because were still in the pandemic and we understand that. But were not in the same place. We were previously and that horrific year we went through allowed us to learn a lot. Which we will benefit us at this current point. What we really, really, really are encouraging people to do is to vaccinated because thats going to be the quickest way to get us all back safely and to make sure that we carry optimistic and excited to be out as we do. We want to see our kids back, who want to see them back in class because we know this is the best place for them. Kron 4 news. The California State University system will require covid vaccinations for anyone. Everyone returning to campus this fall. It is happening again as cases continue to surge. Everybody has to be able to prove Vaccination Status Spy September 30th csu campuses are also have been serving as host facilities for vaccine distribution. Students and employees will be allowed to ask for medical or religious exemptions and all you see schools. They are also requiring covid vaccinations for this fall. Governor Newsoms Office says hes pulled 2 of his children out of a Summer Day Camp that did not require the kids to wear masks inside the Camps Decision is violation of State Policy which requires masks for everyone in new settings. Thats because the children under the age of 12, of course, cannot be vaccinated. The new son say they missed a communication from the camp saying it would not enforce mask wearing. Got a Costa County supervisors want to explore making vaccinations mandatory for county employees. And this comes after officials said theres been a new outbreak in County Detention facilities. There were 23 infections. As of yesterday which county officials expect to grow as test results continue to come back in a Statement Supervisor Karen mitch off says given that we are quarantining everyone who comes into the jail for 10 days. I think its a fair assumption that this Isnt Inmate driven. Its either a visitor or unfortunately a deputy or other staff member. The countys deputy Health Officer said there have been 2800 new cases in the past 2 weeks there. The Case Rate last week among unvaccinated residents was 33 per 100,000 among vaccinated. People that number is less than 6 of Covid Related Deaths in contra, Costa County. Nearly all of those where unvaccinated. President biden says that requiring all federal workers to get vaccinated against covid is under consideration and those comments come a day after the department of veterans affairs became the. First federal agency to require its Health Care workers to get the vaccine. The white House Press Secretary has left the door open to the possibility more agencies will do the same thing and the ability of that Delta Variant 2. Be transmitted from a vaccinated person to someone else has really caused the cdc to make a dramatic change in its masking guidelines. It is now recommending even vaccinated. People should return to wearing masks indoors in parts of the u. S. Where the virus is surging. The agency made that Announcement Today citing the fact that the Delta Variant is spreading even among vaccinated. People that wasnt the case with covid pre Delta U C berkeley infectious Disease Specialist Doctor John Swartzberg says while most new infections hospitalizations and deaths are among the unvaccinated the new guidance is prudent, especially to protect the most vulnerable. Masking social distancing and not getting together in congregate settings. Those things really work well and the society applies those in p eyes known for interventions in a robust way. That means fewer people are going to become infected even if theyre not vaccinated. That means fewer variants will be produced. And while parts of the Bay Area have been praised for their vaccination efforts. The cdcs new guidance applies to all 9 counties in the Bay Area. Since they all have either a high or substantial leves of Covid Transmission right now. For more on vaccinations, masking guidelines and the latest covid numbers.
