6:07 am
say it's your office say it's the gym in the bay area that mask mandate will be new for people who are. >> in marine and solano counties. people have been mask free indoors right now. but that changes tomorrow county rules. they overshadow and they rule out those county rules. the state rules go into effect requiring everyone to mask up yet again. california health secretary doctor mark galli announced the universal indoor masking mandate yesterday. this is to prevent an uptick in cases during the holidays and with the new omicron variant spreading. there has already been a 47% increase in covid-19 cases across the state since thanksgiving. so already seeing this kind of surge ucsf professor of epidemiologist george rutherford says he agrees with the decision to require mask indoors. >> solid precaution. that makes a lot of sense. but understand that this is secondary to getting everybody boosted vaccinated busted. that's what the refs. what's
6:08 am
really going to say. i think you have to be. cautious. i think you need to be responsible. and i think you need to be you know, you have the tools is kind of you know, it's on you to to to protect yourself. >> in total. california has confirmed 4.8 million covid cases and 74,000 deaths on average. there's nearly 6,000 new cases per day. this new mandate starts tomorrow and it will go through january 15th so december 15th to january 15th in place during the holiday season. that's what we know so far. so grab that mask if you specially if you live in solano, marin counties. for now back to you in studio. good enough. thank you, sarah. >> specifically as we're talking about this does mean that you have to wear a mask in businesses that maybe were looser like gyms. i know in san francisco, you could wear in, you know, have no mask in the gym or in county like sarah said it didn't need the mask in the gym and a lot of gym owners are concerned because they know that people. >> don't necessarily like
6:09 am
working out with a mask on one gym owner says it's got to hurt business. >> have people are are vaccinated to wear a mask, doesn't it seems like it's overkill. i don't understand why his chance of getting us malls. and now to go it really affects people want to join. they're like i'm watching a little club effect where masks doubt the ministry of the hole we've hurt so badly by this whole thing and then just to to do this again for us as make any sense. >> but remember, least are not close down is on a county never imposed an indoor mask mandate. but under the new state rules. now they will be like everybody else. there will be a mask mandate indoors. >> just, you know, keep working out. >> you still get to go to the gym. you just need to wear a mask. and you know, people are breathing heavily and. >> the state has decided to do this for safety. so just do it. do it for it's not forever not just so we can get through this potential search. >> the state of california, by the way, also issuing a new travel advisory as well as we
6:10 am
get closer to this holiday travel season with christmas and whatnot. and a potential surge on the way new testing recommendations. let's go to kron. four's will tran. >> live at sfo will can kind of talk to both of these things sfo and the mask and working out because will we have to wear the mask indoors again while working out. i know you're big runner and i know you work out. can you handle wearing the mask again. >> i don't go into the gym anymore. i run on the streets. people bother me there. i said it when you reach a certain age, you're not amused anymore. so i run on the streets and i run with the mask when it's fire. but otherwise i don't. but if i go inside, obviously i will wear a mask and new requirements. we are talking about the winter months. right. they said this last year and we did the story last week from san jose when they were santa clara county telling people to continue masking up. well, now they want you to continue testing not a requirement but
6:11 am
a recommendation, which means effective immediately if you're coming into california where the your coming back to california or you're visiting family members or on business that after you arrive within 3 to 5 days. they are encouraging you to get tested for covid-19 because holiday travel according to aaa. they expect about a 109 million people to travel during the holidays and it's basically about 92%. 2019 levels. so it's getting back to where it used to be. with so many people in such a small space. possibility of covid-19 cases. rising continues to rise. and that is why they're telling people go get tested. if you possibly can get some reaction. it seems like people are saying, okay. all for testing, all for vaccinations, all for masks. everything. the first time i've flown in light 2 and a half, 3 years so it's all backing that you seem
6:12 am
that. >> is a lot of trepidation in your voice. yeah. yeah. it's for some and i'm quite a travel or otherwise. i just want to make sure that people know at home. it's not just air travel. if you're driving planes, trains and automobiles. if you're coming into. >> california, get tested 3 to 5 days. and the reason being is if you are covid-19, if you have it, obviously to isolate yourself so they can bring the numbers down. this whole thing has always been about science. according to governor gavin newsom to make sure those hospital beds our free for other cases. i mean, there are other ailments that continue to. go throughout the world, right. like cancers. they want to make sure that's available and if you can possibly get tested. not a requirement, recommendations and will speak in a free. wouldn't it be better if the test for free and they handed them out at at the airport or wherever you can take it home with you. >> that would help. you know
