some of the state's strict health mandates to be lifted. it comes as california's positivity rate is seeing slight improvement. as of friday the state was just over 21%. that's a percent down from this time last week. kenny choi has more on why some doctors are saying it is time to lift those restrictions. >> reporter: it's unclear at this point whether state health officials will lift mask mandates on february 15. some doctors battling covid for two years are hoping they go a step further. >> i think the public is scared because of a lot of our messaging. >> reporter: calls for lifting mandates growing louder, in san rafael, protests against mask requirements and vaccine mandates. >> the fact that the mandates and emergency orders have not already been lifted is a crime. >> reporter: state laws don't allow counties to loosen mandates on public

transportation, restaurants, or schools. >> research shows it is the number one factor that can asocial security us. >> reporter: possibility of lifting restrictions in schools is quickly changing. >> we are not there quite yet but it is my sense that it is coming sooner than later. >> masking needs to come off at some point. we need to have goal posts. we need an end game. >> reporter: director of covid response at ucsf. >> i see kids in distress and kids who are not doing well. it is not because of covid. it is because of covid policies. >> reporter: they're spearheading. >> i think this is a role for public health officials. they need to get out with firm messages that things have changed and it is time to move on. >> even areas where cases are starting to come down, we are still recommending public indoor masking. again cases are still well

>> reporter: among those tools, booster shots which one study found are 90% effective at preventing hospitalizations. >> we are talking about between a cold and the flu is where omicron falls if you are vaccinated and boosted. >> reporter: doctors say bottom line remains, sooner more people get vaccinated, sooner the world can get the upper hand on the pandemic. >> people have chosen not to be vaccinated, and that's their choice. we will continue to provide their care. but the ones who are not vaccinated are the ones flocking to the hospitals right now. that's creating the problem. >> reporter: i am john lawrence reporting. >> for more information about covid testing and vaccination, we have a guide at kpix.com. sneaker waves behind unsuspecting people at ocean beach. low swells can switch to a sudden rush of water under the sand and it packs a punch. almost every year people are
