today, is additional worker safeguards to protect this workforce, to focus again always on preventive measures, to focus on helping support our employers. >> the governor's plan includes expanding employer education resources and protection measures for workers who are sick or have been exposed to the virus. >> san jose has been added to a federal coronavirus watch list. now, on that list, are cities from across the country. but leaders in the south bay say they didn't know this list didn't even exist the first place. ann rubin joins us now live to explain why city and county officials aren't sure what factors got them on that list. still waiting to see what this all means. >> reporter: yeah, local leaders say they weren't on the call when it was announced, nor have they heard from federal officials about, but still say they are concerned about cases

on the way. the white housest he has a watch list on it, cities lagging behind in slowing the spread, among them san jose. dr. deborah birx, a coronavirus task force member made the pronouncement on a private call obtained by the nonprofit center to be public integrity. the news came as a shock to local leaders. >> i'm not so much offended as a little surprised by the cities that were included on the watch list are all doing significantly worse than san jose and san jose and santa clara are doing significantly better than some of the cities that were left off the watch list. >> reporter: san jose's mayor points out there were hundreds of cities with higher infection, hospitalization, and death rates. still san jose has seen 5,523 cases out of a population of just over a million, and he believes we need to do better. >> i don't pretend to know what criteria were used by the white house. i'm not sure it really matters.

the reality is, we've got rising infection rates throughout the country, and all of us need to do more, because right now, too many people are getting sick and too many people are dying. >> reporter: there was a question about what the white house watch list means for the cities on it. >> we have no idea. i guess in my best world, i hope that that means they're trying to develop a national strategic approach to dealing with the pandemic, because it's been pretty incoherent and inconsistent so far. >> reporter: for now, though, local leaders say they are focusing on policies here, and the very real possibility of scaling back activities unless transmission rates drop. >> we need to focus on the purpose and not on the circus. the white house may say different things on different days. we know what our responsibility is, and that is we've got keep each other safe. >> >> reporter: officials safe the best way to do that is by wearing masks, washing hands and social distancing, but they say to prepare for the

possibility that more restrictions may be coming. andrew >> thank you so much, ann. >> coronavirus outbreak linked to a san francisco trader joe's supermarket has grown to 8 indicates now, and half of them are employees who had close contact with one another outside of work. they came down with the illness earlier this month. for power workers tested positive last week. it is the trader joe's on prospect road. it is not clear where the other three picked up the virus. trader joe's says none of them have worked in the store after deep cleaning was performed last week. the u.s. centers for disease control has released new guidelines for control schools after coming under credit item by president trump for being too tough. the cdc guidelines still urge students to wear face masks,

wash hands frequent economy is social distance, but the upcoming document said it's in the best interests of children and parents for the schools to open, and said children with the virus don't suffer as much as adults. >> we certainly know from other studies that children under 10 do get infected. its just unclear how rapidly they spread the virus. >> they do recommend that local officials should consider closing schools or keeping them closed if there is substantial and uncontrolled transmission of the virus. >> so san francisco schools are working on a plan to protect the most vulnerable students now. those most at risk of falling behind will likely have someplace to go. kristen joins us live from san francisco this evening, and the district just released details on this economic plan. tell us about it. >> yeah, andre, i can tell cow first off that san francisco

schools will start with distance learning. the city also setting up hubs to make sure that some of the steps most vulnerable or at risk children aren't left behind. san francisco unified schools has finalized its plans for distance learning and will submit them to the school board next week. the district said it has learned a lot after having to improvise last spring. the district said it has take an lot of feedback from families and will role back into the plan. one of the top concerns families say they want to see more time for on-line interactions, not just pulling assignments down from a website. >> so not only in the teachers or students want to connect more with their teachers, they wanted that for sure, but also wanted opportunities to connect with each other, opportunities to build relationships. they wanted to make sure that was happening. we totally understand that. >> reporter: san francisco is rolling out details on its plans to provide 40 hubs throughout the city to make sure that as many as 6,000

students in traditionally underserved communities aren't getting left behind. >> we know know that our highest need children struggle the most. >> reporter: the hubs will be located in nonprofits, libraries, and park properties around san francisco, and will bring resources directly to the kids who need them the most. >> that means having an academic support staff that is just, you know, supporting the kids, to open up their zooms, checking in their homework. and then providing a healthy meal, and then providing all of that enrichment and wrap-around support. the recreation and parks department said with a public park within a 10-minute walk of any home in the city, it is ready to step up in an unprecedented way. >> we are planning this very closely together, and we will probably be providing, over approximately half of all of

the learning community hub sites. >> at 5:00 this afternoon, the school district was set to post their finalized plans on their website w so parents can check that out and parents can also weigh in at that next school board meeting set before the next school board meeting next tuesday. well, there are calls to shut down the country once again to contain the spread of covid-19. reportedly, a group of more than 150 people, including doctors, scientists, nurses, and even teachers, have signed that letter, and certainty it to political leaders in our nation's capital, asking them to shut down the country. for more on this, we're joined by an internal medicine specialist. doctor, thank you for being with us today. wasn'ted to get your take on the letter. what do you make of it , and do

you agree with it? >> well, cristina, let me put it this way, let me ask you a question, if mandating a shutdown, especially in the areas where we see that the infection rates could be going up and skyrocketing, and shutting down to save lives is a good idea, morning of us could would agree it's a good idea. but people are partying and socializing many times without face masks. if we close down the areas that reduces this type of behavior, we know the number of deaths will go down, and we won't put such a high burden inon our healthcare system. so, yes, i do agree completely. >> i want to get your thoughts on the fact that there are concerns here from these

what do you say to people who are just concerned that they've lost their job? they can't pay their bills, they want to get because to work? >> well, i definitely feel for them, cristina, because this is not an easy decision that, you know, anyone is going to take lightly. not our state leaders, not our government leaders, but unfortunately we have to think of what is most important and what is paramount, and that is human life. and i think that is where this letter is coming from. that means if we can do anything at all which saves lives, then we must do that, because once someone is gone, we can't bring them back. the economy can bounce back. a dead person cannot. and that's paramount. and as physicians, that's all we want for our patients is a healthy life. if we know there is something we can do which would prohibit them from dying and prolong their life, we should absolute delay that. >> right. you know, i also want to talk about schools, because this is

on the minds of so many families, sending our kids back here in the bay area, most of the school districts have said they're going to starting with some form of distance loving. what are the concerns for teachers here if there is an outbreak once students return to school? >> well, i don't think that this entire school should be politicized. we want our kid, to go back to school, but we want to do that at the right time. and cdc released new guidelines today. but the essential thing missing from those guidelines is how to prevent teacher infection at schools, and until we have a good idea on a plan for how we're going to react if we have a positive case, how are we going to isolate? unless we have a plan that is dictated by science, we north ready to reopen schools. it doesn't make sense to put an area in shelter-in-place and

then reopen for schools. that doesn't make any logical sense. >> what do you think of the latest numbers here. california now surpassing new york in the number of confirmed cases. >> it's quite concerning. we are the largest state. so this is something that we can think may happen to us just because of here is numbers, but, at the same time, we though that's people are acting in a way that they shouldn't be. i know that people are -- you know, the behaviors have changed. people are acting a little morer responsibly, and i think we need to take a step back and really need to mask and social distance, and wash our hands. it's very important. >> thank you, doctor. we appreciate you coming on the show, as always. >> thank you, cristina.

practicing social distancing. despite numerous warnings, health officials say people gathering in places such as here at lake merritt have led to a spike in the covid-19 infection rate. >> we've let our guard down. >> reporter: the interim public health director said the infection rate in alameda county is now three times what it was on june 1st. >> we've seen people attending parties, social eternities, and family gatherings. while these aren't the only places that we see transmission, social gatherings play a much larger role than we had expected. >> reporter: in a new study by the roosts community health center found that the number of covid-19 infections have quadrupled since may. >> oakland's numbers are most concerning. >> reporter: the number of infections per 100,000 people is 60% higher in oakland than in the rest of alameda county, but within oakland, what has health officials most concerned

down. >> health officials say too many people are tuning out the message about staying at least six feet apart and wearing a mask. they say they hope these new numbers will get their attention. >> some people are getting restless staying at home, but the message is clear to practice social distancing. thank you, rob, so much. an armenian school in sacramento was vandalized overnight. this is what police say it appears to be, hate crime, at the school on brotherhood way. you can see here the school and community center have been included in graffiti that includes pornographic images and curse words written in armenian. >> as a native san francisco, i'm appalled and shocked that on my own city's grounds, such hatred would take place on a
