covid and the pandemic. sonoma county now letting go of some of its covid restrictions this month starting on february 10th, the county's restrictions are. >>my god, rings will expire. the measure first went into effect early last month. it asked people not to gather outside with more than 100 people and no more than 50 people indoors. but now sonoma county's health officials say that they can drop the restrictions because of a dead end covid case rates. meanwhile, the south bay new covid vaccine requirements are in fact in san jose for people attending events at city owned buildings like the sa peace center kron on's camila barco has that for us. >>this mandate says you need to be fully vaccinated and have your booster shot. if you want to attend any indoor event in san jose with 50 or more people, san jose is now requiring proof of vaccination and a booster shot at places like the sep center and the convention center. the mandate applies to people attending any indoor event in san jose with 50 or more people at any city own facility. for example, a concert or a sharks game. and that's why that the greater flexibility of allowing a negative test. >>allows for greater freedom for people to be able to. go out and do fun things like catch a sharks game. but it also makes it makes it more likely that we're able to slow the spread of the virus. councilmember dev davis says people can show proof of a negative covid test instead of their up to date vaccine card for events at the sep center. that covid test must be taken a day within the event. it's an antigen test. >>or 2 days, it's a pcr test. davis says this flexibility allows people to still enjoy their events. it will open it up to people who are not eligible to receive the vaccine. >>and and 2 other folks who may be a little bit more hesitant. now, these rules applied to anyone 5 years or older and starting friday, people who work for the city are also required to have their booster shot. >>the city of san jose is the first city in california to implement such a mandate. and council members say the rules are for the long haul. the sep center is providing free covid testing for people attending an event. this provides people the chance to get tested at the center instead of searching for a testing site. for now, back to you. >>camila, thank you for that at noon, you will no longer have to prove you are vaccinated to enter restaurants and gyms in contra costa county health officials made the announcement today citing an 80% vaccination rate in the county. 48% of eligible people in contra costa county have received their covid booster shots. and joining us right now to talk about the easing of restrictions as contra costa county health officer doctor henri so doctor or 8, this is a pretty big development. >>it is. we we were really grateful to our community for going out there getting vaccinated. we've not reached that 80%. full vaccination mark for our total population over 87% have gotten at least one dose many people have gotten the natural infections so between all of that put together, we estimate that over 95% of members of our community have at least some measure of protection. >>we've talked to throughout the pandemic and that the one thing i think that sometimes is confusing as kind of the back and forth in regards to health orders going one way. and then they slide back. so kind of peeling that back. what is really imperative for us all to understand at this juncture in the pandemic mean, you're saying that we don't have to have those mandates anymore. but at the same time, there is still a lot of concern about the pandemic. >>yeah, absolutely. we're still seeing a lot of cases out there over 1000 people a day are catching covid in contra costa county. and we're really concerned about that at the same time. what made sense back during the delta variant when the virus are very aligned in our community was less vaccinated, makes less sense now. so we have more vaccination cases. an average people are getting less sick. and also we're seeing that the vaccine is amazing at preventing the hospitalizations, even baths. but we are seeing some transmission among vaccinated people, even if fully vaccinated and boosted. so we're still really encouraging everyone to god there and get a booster for its been 5 months since your second goes. does. that's probably the most important thing you can do right now. only about half our community has done that and we want more people to get a booster. that's the best thing you can do protect yourself, your community, your family. >>what about the whole issue of masking? >>we feel that masking is still a wonderful added layer of protection right now that a new study came out from the cdc today that showed that that and 95 masks are the best. and then the medical or surgical masks are second best in the cloth mask is their best, particularly in indoor areas. right now. we're still seeing a lot of transmissions that we think masks are still hopeful. at the moment. we're going to keep a close eye on the data to see when we're going to change dot from a requirement to a recommendation. and we're talking with our colleagues around the bay. but for now, it's really about layered protection, vaccines and boosters. the most important and then high quality mask definitely helps. >>and last question, i want to ask you, doctor regards to the fda is going to be weighing and on the 6 month to 5 year-old in middle of february. how is that going to help in that totality of where we are in the pandemic? >>well, the more people are vaccinated, the less covid to see the less transmission, the fear people die. and we're all interconnected. so, you know, as a child can catch covid from an adult, an adult or a grandparent can catch it from a child. so this will be sort of the last group that will become eligible. we're really excited about the vaccines have been so effective and and really quite safe. and we're a really i think a lot of people have been waiting for this moment. we think it will help preschools and childcare centers stay open. we it will be another big step towards helping us remove some of the other mandates. so we're we're really very pleased that this is happening. we're working with all of our health systems around that county to make sure that they're ready to vaccinate assumes the approval is given. >>i want to i feel like i'd be remiss if i didn't ask regards to the whole issue of, you know, nursing homes and, you know, those people who are living in care facilities. how does the actions that you took today apply to those more higher at-risk individuals at those facilities? >>yeah, thank you for asking not there's no change for nursing homes for health care workers for some congregate care settings. there's still verification requirements in all of those setting. so this is really about public indoor spaces. and i just want to make it clear. it's still a best practice. but we no longer think that the requirement it is necessary. we do think that many businesses will look at this choose to continue to verify vaccine status because many of their customers or workers will feel safer. but but as particularly in the nursing homes to those in the most vulnerable communities, we have other measures. and the state also has other measures in place to require a vaccine verification. >>well, doctor, thank you very much for talking with us. we really appreciate the update. >>thank you very much. >>now let's switch gears and get a forecast for you. what's going on outside? you can see the sfo camera beautiful. should we be taking off okay? say if we were taking off, where would you go right now? really

best growth included leisure and hospitality, which added 151,000 jobs along with retailers, which added 61,000 jobs. that's especially notable since january is usually an off month for stores and shopping. january's report may not accurately reflect the true health of the economy since around 9 million workers were out sick when the data was collected. experts say so many workers out sick

>>it feels so great. every time i just. >>i can get over. this is the candela. see 7. as you can see, it's plugged in an all electric speed boat that could have big potential for the future of water. transportation. >>because we have very consumption and with a small battery, we can go quite far off the 26 foot boat hold 6 passengers and goes about 50 nautical miles on a charge. >>the reason it's so efficient 3 to take off. the boat uses hydro foils or small wings underneath that, push it up to glide above the water. now lifting on the less friction means less power consumption all of no longer touching the water. it also makes for a smooth and mostly silent ride. seasickness could be a thing of the >>your process is so quiet. just feel like they're above the water. >>the secret is in the software and on-board computer is constantly making calculations to keep the both steady to the tune of 100 adjustments every second or the controls for the flight. >>is automated. so it's done by

down into the water landing is a whole experience itself. right now. a big factor holding this technology back is cost. the boat is about $300,000. but as the tech advances that should come down, i think it will it's just a matter of time. >>and how how boats are going to become electric. >>that vote was so fun and so unique. and although it might be a while before it's ready for the mass
