washington correspondent kellie meyer has the latest on the administration's efforts to slow the spread before the pandemic gets worse. >> good morning. the president is said to be briefed on these concerns and the state of vaccinations across the country as rates spike nationwide. us covid cases are on the rise once again, we're still losing people to this virus from nevada to florida. the number of cases surging in over half of us states and territories. areas of the country where vaccination rates are low in states like missouri, arkansas, and louisiana seeing a spike and to be clear, there will likely continue to be an increase in cases among unvaccinated americans. the delta variant is infecting both vaccinated and unvaccinated americans in l a it's deja vu as the county starts to require masks indoors regardless of vaccination status for states like tennessee vaccine outreach has stopped for those 14 and older. despite an uptick in cases kids return to

school in just a few the white house this week is recruiting the help of teen pop stars to encourage younger kids to get vaccinated. it's important to have conversations with friends and family members. we ask people to raise the bar. the u.s. surgeon general is urging americans to not fall for misinformation surrounding vaccines. >> warning of the consequences poses an imminent, an insidious threat to our nation's health and the cdc predicts anywhere from 50,000 to 400,000 new covid-19 cases are likely to be reported in that first week of august. >> that could translate to anywhere from 800 deaths to 4,000 reporting in washington. i'm kelly meyer. >> and just one month after california's for reopening the delta variant now triggering the return of mask mandates. a new warning to people who are unvaccinated as kelli meyer mentioned, los angeles county has ordered a new mask indoor mandate. now a lot of people are wondering whether the bay area is going to the same

kron. 4 steelers aqi takes a look at all of that. >> as as uncertainty with delta and with a relatively lower vaccination rate in southern california can get to northern california. it is actually not surprising that the public health and political leaders they would enact such a mandate on thursday, los angeles county reinstated its indoor mask mandate. >> now raising questions on what this may mean for the bay area infectious disease expert doctor peter chin-hong says while los angeles county has hired cases and lower vaccination rates than the bay area counties. its numbers could have future impact on our mask mandates. >> i'm a little concerned just for the bay area as a whole because way. you look. because when you look at where the hot spots are right now in the state. it's actually above us in the sacramento area and below us and the la area. so you have the top and bottom. and i feel like we're being encouraged because again,

people move freely and just because we have a high vaccination rates doesn't make us completely immune from what's happening around us. >> instead of a widespread mask mandate. doctor chin-hong says we could see county by county decide to follow eli's footsteps specifically for those with higher cases in lower vaccination rates like solano county, for example, meanwhile, san francisco's covid case rates in vaccinations have been some of the best as of tuesday. 83% of those eligible have received at least one dose of the vaccine and 76% of those eligible are fully vaccinated still forwardlooking data through this week. projects. case rates will rise to 73 cases per day. he sevenfold increase from mid-june. it's anybody's. >> guess whether not san francisco and other counties surrounding it well and not these mask mandates. again, if hospitalizations and deaths remain low, it will be more of an emotional response or maybe a call for people to get vaccinated. >> taylor kron 4 news.

officials say most new cases are among those who are unvaccinated and case rates or 2 and a half times higher among latinos and african americans and they are continuing to urge people who are not vaccinated yet to go ahead and get the shot. >> this is for me is a cry to my community. a cry to everyone who has not gotten a vaccine to say we need you to get vaccinated. it is important for you to keep yourself safe. for you to keep your family safe. and for you to keep the people around. you say. >> only 60% of san franciscans african american population vaccinated. in the north bay. sonoma county has reopened an alternative care center in order to isolate an increase in new positive covid-19 cases. many of those people are being quarantined coming from an outbreak at a santa rosa homeless shelter for spring. kelly has the details. the first positive cases were detected at the samuel l jones
