unprecedented, gone well beyond anything we've seen before. the highly contagious um, a cranberry in has fueled the rapid spread of new covid cases across the u. s so far, much of this has happened while americans are at home for the holidays. but starting monday, schools around the country will welcome back students and staff. while being tasked with keeping them safe. this time around, schools are doing whatever they can to avoid going remote. the goal is full time in person learning for our students. they've suffered enough as pediatric hospitalizations for covid approach. record highs. schools are stocking up on rapid test to stay ahead of potential outbreaks in new york city, the nation's largest school district . students will get tested if there's an outbreak in their class. those who test negative can return to class. while positive cases and those who don't opt into tests will stay home. many parents don't have the luxury of staying home, so we have to do everything possible to keep them in school as our plan a plan b and plan c

. meanwhile many colleges aren't taking any chances. stanford harvard in several other major universities are going online only for the first few weeks of this spring semester. health experts say the best safeguard is for parents to get their kids vaccinated. they're currently available for children ages five and up in atlanta. charles watson fox news online college classes are expected to return some schools in the u. c system. those include uc davis and uc santa cruz. meanwhile u c. berkeley says it expects everyone to get tested for covid before returning to campus. other schools that are also going remote include yale columbia and rice university. thousands of students in the west contra costa unified school district received covid-19 at home testing kits. today the kids were provided to the district by the california department of public health district officials are asking that students take the test before returning to school tomorrow. the district was given 30,000 tests and has made available videos in english, spanish, cantonese, arabic and

vietnamese on how to administer the tests. um we're recommending that they test before they come back tomorrow morning, and they will upload their test results into their school database. and then each school site also does weekly testing that families often too, and our students have the opportunity to test weekly at school as well. starting on february 18th all students aged 12 and older will need to be fully vaccinated to continue in person learning unless they haven't approved medical exemptions. well, the activist groups equal opportunity now and by enemies necessary, held a news conference today to push for the return of distance learning. they say schools right now we're not safe due to the spike in covid cases around the bay area. we need parents. not to be sending their young people, their children to school. we need everyone to be standing up against this reason

that in addition to virtual learning, the groups are pushing for pandemic economic assistance for families and mandatory vaccinations and testing for all teachers staff. and students. some bay area students took partner unique vaccine clinic today in the south bay ktvu is amanda quintana shows us it's part of a larger push to get kids vaccinated before they returned to school. i loved getting the vaccine. it's not often you see this kind of excitement about a needle, especially from a five year old but for the sharma family, the children's discovery museum vaccine clinic was something to celebrate on the shot. they never got scared. so dish. uh, that was really excited. because i was gonna get protected from the vibe, this arjun and his seven year old sister amani, both got their first dose of the vaccine. it kind of heard that none that i bought my first vaccine with some special incentives. i gotta pop it and i be his pink car glasses for any

member of the family that got vaccinated today. they got a free pass for the whole family to go inside the museum. they could go in right after their shot, or they could save it for the next six months. we know that it's very hard for kids to get the courage to take a shot, and we thought, well, why couldn't we do something wonderful and say if you get your shot you'll get to treat your whole family to a day at children's discovery museum. the clinic is part of a larger push right now to get kids vaccinated and tested before school starts. on monday, governor gavin newsom agreed to provide schools with enough at home rapid tests for all k through 12 students. that's around six million, and schools across the bay area are rushing to give them out. like at this drive thru in alameda on friday. we want this to be replicated throughout the 58 counties in our state, and throughout all the districts in our state and to continue to provide our schools with the resources that they need. to keep our children safe and to keep our students in school

doctors say the goal is to keep kids in school and the best way to do that is to i'd positive tests at home. early to keep them out of the classroom the upside of the home testing is that if you're positive, it's a good test. um, fairly reliable. the downside is if you're negative, um, that could be a false negative. and it's also when you do not have symptoms. asymptomatic testing, um, may not be as reliable doctor yasuko fukuda says. it's a good idea to get your kids both covid and flu shot as they head back to school, the museum will have another vaccination clinic on january 23rd and two more opportunities after that. in san jose amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. and for the latest headlines on this covid-19 surge log onto ktvu is website ktvu .com/ covid. a new law in california that starts this year will affect what you do in your kitchen. it's the first time any

state in the nation has implemented such a law and ktvu greg liggins joins us now to explain how it works. correct. yes, andre. in a nutshell. compliance should be pretty simple. you should no longer throw food waste in the trash. you've probably thrown food scraps from items like these into the trash or garbage disposal, but what you've been getting rid of has value food scraps like your eggshells and coffee grounds and your vegetable peelings. those are the most important type. of garbage that exists. that's where the nutrients are. beginning this year, california has enacted a statewide law to keep food scraps out of landfills. instead they will need to be composted and collected curbside. california has passed a policy now. requiring all cities and counties in the state to reduce the amount. of compostable material that they send to landfills by 75% by the year

2025. that's in three years you'll need to separate food, waste from trash and place it in those green bins. open that up something san franciscans have done for 25 years. waste management company rick ology, which focuses on recycling, spearheaded the change, which california has now adopted. part of the reason is to help the environment if food scraps go to a landfill, and they get buried in a landfill, they can create methane gas, a potent greenhouse gasses can escape to the atmosphere. the food waste eventually becomes compost that can be mixed with soil as seen in these piles at a site in southern california. it's valuable material used in agriculture. farmers say it's nutrient rich increases stable carbon levels in soil and saves water it allows infiltrate held and then importantly, accomplished as a very friendly way that it delivers water to the roots of plants compared to other structures in the store

health so applying complex destroyed huge advantage, ecology says in san francisco alone, it's kept 2.5 million tons of food waste out of landfills, the tops of your carrots, the peelings off your onions. the brown leaves off the end of the lettuce, the coffee grounds of banana peels. all these things came from a farm. they ought to go back to a farm. in the form of compost. now, some california cities and counties are still working out their plans to collect that food waste. the grace period is up to two years, but i'm told, most should be able to work out those plans within a few months. andre alright, greg. lisa was reporting. chris live in oakland. greg. thank you. twitter takes action against conservative congresswoman marjorie taylor green coming up why her account was permanently suspended today and it was a routine traffic stop in the east bay but ended up with police calling in the bomb squad. coming up when officers found inside the car that raised alarm. already and back to the

season history, jimmy garoppolo is thumb not healthy enough to allow him to start today's game against the texans. rookie trey lance getting his second career start last going slowly. it was still a scoreless game in the second quarter. what lance made a bad choice and had his pass picked off by desmond king king gets a nice head of steam going on the return and takes it back 32 yards to the 49 35 marker down that put houston in position for the first score of the game. former stanford quarterback davis mills finds an open brandon cooks for eight yards in the score the texans in front seven nothing. the 49ers. did manage the first half field goal. 49ers finally got it going in the second half. it's lance rolling out finding elijah mitchell, coming out of the backfield of 49ers had their first lead at 10 to 7. fourth quarter and the 49ers have a nice play call going here. lance rolls right, then throws across the field to deebo. samuel we all know what samuel could do in the open field. that's a 45 yard scoring play. it's a two score game with san francisco in

front. 17 7. the 49ers would add a pair of field goals, the first one set up by this 37 yard run by mitchell mitchell had 119 yards rushing and all breaking the team's single season rookie rushing record. set by vic washington in 1971, 49ers, 1 23 to 7 there now 97 right now. that's the number six seed in the nfc, but whether or not they're a playoff team will depend on what they eagles and saints all due next week. you go wild before you see anything as strange as this, the bucks antonio brown took off his pads jersey and shirt threw them into the crowd, then paraded off the field in the middle of the game. he is officially no longer a member of the tampa bay bucks. after all that tampa's tom brady brought the bucks back from a 24 20 deficit against the jets. brady to cyril grayson with 15 seconds left the bucks win. 28 24. tampa right now the number three seed in the nfc and would host the 49ers. the raiders

honoring their former coach, who died this week as john madden was remembered throughout the nfl, the raiders against the colts and in need of a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. carson wentz rolling out and throwing to the answer on what good things happen. his passing a crowded tips, then grabbed by t. y hilton had put the culture in front 17 13 in the third quarter that was worth another look with raiders casey hayward and trayvon maureen colliding receiver ashton doolan coming up to empty the ball, ending up with hilton. tied at 20 inside a minute to play derek carr gets away from trouble finds hunter renfroe renfroe gets to his feet . he'll go all the way to the end zone. they take a look at it and watch this, they'll determine that ran for was down by contact. just barely with kenny more getting a finger on renfro, but that didn't hurt the raiders because they were able to run out the clock instead of daniel carlson for a 33 yard field goal in the last play of the game, carlson down the middle. and the raiders have a 23 to 20 win. the raiders can earn a playoff spot with a win next week over the chargers. the

culture right now sit number six in the fc. and the sharks in pittsburgh this afternoon. they were down 5 to 1. after one period, they did come back to at least make an interesting lot of traffic in front of the pittsburgh net here in the third period, fema meyer to logan couture who gets santa's a within a goal. but there was still most of the period to be played. and the penguins ended the drama with two more scores. it's evan rodriguez, finishing off his first career hat trick with the goal to make it 75. the penguins went 8 to 5 sounds a falls to 17 15 and one which is number 11 in the west, so lots more to come with one week left in the nfl regular season. so there's a lot of scenarios for the niners that people smarter than making game out. but the bottom line is 49ers masters of their own destiny here. that's right, beat the rams next week and you're in. otherwise they have to hope for things to break the proper way for them to still be and still a good chance. but yes, take care of business and they're in. all right. thank you
