declining and virus transmission or manageable, but officials want to wait until cases are 550 per day for an entire week before declaring an end to required indoor masking. we're taking a different course in santa clara county in that we are continuing to follow our data and metrics to tell us when it's appropriate to lift. santa clara is the only bay area county not following the state in ending required indoor masking february 16th. santa clara county has always been on the conservative side of things . this is wednesday, san francisco health officials saying a sharp decline in hospitalizations. coupled with fewer people suffering, and i see us allows them to follow in the states footsteps. still, dr susan phillips says, everyone must remain vigilant. so it is always possible that there will be an additional variant or some new conditions that will require us to revisit the fact that santa clara remains the lone holdout in the bay area concerns business leaders who have still not recovered from a depressed

holiday season. this has had a tremendous strain on the downtown environment in general , and on the small businesses that i work with closely. cody says she hears the concerns but also knows the danger of returning to normal too soon, only to have to reinstate restrictions. so i am hopeful that with our macron continuing to decline that it won't be too long before our hospitalizations are low and stable. and everyone . health officers agree that people should wear masks recommended to wear masks when inside regardless of what the health order is. it's always a good idea where master and it's still required in certain situations, mass transit schools , nursing homes. if you're visiting someone in prison, that kind of thing we're masking. if you're are not vaccinated if you're not completely vaccinated. required to wear masks indoors where live in san jose this evening, jesse gary ktvu, fox two news. we'll head back to you up in oakland and jesse. you heard health officials there say that they're hoping that it won't be too long

for the mask mandate. to be lifted there in santa clara county. any idea on a possible timeframe? a couple of weeks. maybe heather. i mean, the doctor pretty, wasn't she? kind of hard to nail her down on a specific date. because as you know, things change, but maybe a couple more weeks and as the downtown san jose association said, it's been two years. what's another couple of weeks? all right, jesse. gary reporting live for us tonight. thank you. san francisco mayor london breed says the city will go along with the state's new guidelines, but students will still have to wear a mask in the classroom. it is a decision maker breed says she doesn't agree with if i had my way, i would immediately asked for mass to be removed for all of our kids because i know that this is having a significant impact on them. however many of our public health experts, the people who we have been following who have been using science and data say otherwise. so i'm trusting them. although i

know parents are frustrated. i'm frustrated and i wish something else could be done. mayor breed goes on to say she is encouraged by the drop in hospitalizations and is excited. the city can follow the state's lead in oakland today, governor newsom hinted that guidelines on school massing masking may shift soon. asked about the divisive issue, newsom said that he's been working with district and union leaders to come up with the plan . our political reporter greg lee, continues our team coverage. to california scheduled easing of indoor masking rules does not include schools. but while in oakland governor newsom said the issue would be part of the state's endemic plan set to be released next week. putting out additional information about what's next for masking in our public schools, and we have been working now for weeks with our education partners. right now, all k through 12, students and staff are required to wear masks indoors this week, citing a drop

in covid case numbers, governors in connecticut, new jersey organ and delaware announced end dates for school mask mandates. newsom was pressed on the metrics. california's considering it's the vaccination rates in our schools are substantially lower than they are for adults. let me give you a specific point where over 92% of 18 year old plus receiving at least one dose were 27.5% this morning in 5 to 11 year olds receiving their vaccines at the federal level, the cdc director said it was too early to change its recommendation that students wear masks inside. the contentious issue has divided communities and parents. even public health officials and doctors have different opinions . ucsf epidemiologist dr george rutherford believes students still need to mask up or vaccination rates are low pre school where children are too young to be vaccinated. absolutely. if you have a high school where 25 or 30% of the

students are fully vaccinated. that's not good enough. i think from a public health perspective , kids should really have been allowed to go first with unmasking enough doctor jean noble, director of covid response for ucsf's emergency department feels differently. she and other colleagues created a petition urging the governor to lift mask mandates in schools , leaving the choice up to students and staff. they have the most to lose their masks, you know, six hours a day, five days a week when they're still trying to, you know, learn how to enunciate their words interpret complex facial emotions. the petitions garnered more than 40,000 signatures. one parent writing, they need to see their smiling peers. they need facial expressions and to lose the distraction of the mask in the classroom. the california federation of teachers sent us this statement. we support developing a plan for transitioning away from asking in schools and off ramp that is based on science and not politics, the metrics and timeline for easing mass requirements in schools should
