says does that count is at all you're going to do today was that the stretch? yeah, that's the extent of my fist. okay. all right. i've got one over check that just gave good morning friday. james idea you know, i do walk in morning everybody. we do have that morning fog yet again here today to but that's pretty much aloft going on and has kind of mix out. we have some drier air aloft going on. so that's what creates that inversion yet again. it's also warmer too. but later on today we're going to replace that with basically hazy sunshine going on because of the smoke from the recent fires going on. meanwhile, this is the shot we have from half moon, bay overcast at this hour. now, although it's breaking up in the interior areas. here's the golden gate bridge. all covered up by the fog that you can see and again, give a couple of hours for this to mix out to the hazy sunshine that we have expected for this afternoon temperature check. we still have those 50's up in the north bay, though east bay shoreline lower 60's and mid 60's inland. however, a little more kind of trailing at 55 there for comparison. sake were little cooler up in the

north bay a little warmer than we were yesterday for portions of the east bay 78 by 11, by 2 o'clock. we're going to talk 93 is temperatures in london. some selective spots go to the upper 90's. what more that a bit. but rain wants to check in what's going on with traffic radar today we got a little backup along the bay bridge. and that's because of this accident along one o one that we had earlier to chavez street. >> now it's just a residual delay there. they were able to clear that in the last hour. but look at this as you travel into the city, about 15 minutes were up to about 22 minutes there. last time we checked in so things are certainly improving there also as you head across towards the peninsula. no major delays are hazards to slow us down all throughout this friday morning. a little under 15 minutes for us there. richmond sandra fell commute. as you travel out of richmond under 12 minutes and things are also looking great in the south bay daryn, james, back to you. rana, thank you. 7. oh one. let's get to our top story this morning. napa county and the fact that they're seeing a spike in coronavirus cases. and that's leading to more

hospitalizations. here's the county at large. we want to zoom in a little bit and show you more about where the epicenter of cases right now are popping up. >> and as you might imagine, it's no surprise we're talking about the city of napa itself. that's the population center. and that's where we're seeing the biggest jump in numbers. in fact, if you take a look at the numbers over the last few months. may they had 270 new cases county wide in june. it dropped to 2.40 and then this past month in july, almost 900 so an explosion in new cases. and what we have seen levels like that since february. and that is what has health officers here in napa county. very concerned. and that's why they're taking steps to try to cut down on the spread of delta did napa county is joined now the 7 other bay area counties. >> in issuing an indoor mask mandate. you got to wear a mask even if you're vaccinated any time you go inside starting at midnight. so it's in effect right now. kron 4. sarah stinson is live in napa county. sarah, how's it going?

>> well. it's going. it's a bit of a transition and napa counties so here at a safeway where i'm seeing majority of people wearing their mask. you know, it's hard to remember to get this mask back on when you go to a place indoors because we have been doing it since about june. so we've been used to provide a 2 months now we've got to get back to putting it all and take a look at video. you can see they've already got the signs up on the door here at safeway. a little confusing is one sign says. >> only 4 nonvaccinated customs in the next to it says for all customers. so hopefully it's not too confusing for people by, as you can see, some people went in without a mask and most people went in with a mask. this is just day one. we're just hours into the mask mandate. so it's going to take some time for people to comply. and this is napa county. joining 7 other bay area counties with the mask mandate. and earlier i was at a gym not too far from here.

and it was definitely a transition there. i mean, that was at like 4 in the morning. so i'm sure they weren't quite and forcing it yet. you can see people working out on the treadmill without their mask on and then some of the employees saw me there. they put their mask on and start to remember oh, yeah. that mask mandate. it starts today. 75% of people who live in napa county are fully vaccinated. but they're still a concerning rise in hospitalizations, threatening hospital capacity says the health officer especially with the delta variant making up majority of the covid cases in california. >> and as we know, this variant is more contagious and it's spreading not just to the unvaccinated but to the vaccinated as well. and that's why the cdc and our local health officials believe masking plus vaccinating are the perfect pair to getting these cases down to how do people feel? putting that mask back on as they go about their daily life. well, let's take a listen. >> i hate it. but you've got to do it. it's it sounds like

a piece of clothing like you wake up. you got every month. >> it's very true of things. once you get in the habit of it. you won't forget it. and i think people just got used to going to say the gym and a nail salon in the grocery store, not wearing. and of course it feels good to breathe. but now that we have these cases climbing yet again. it's time to put the mask back on health officials believe that this mask mandate will hopefully avoid more restrictions in the future. they're trying to make sure that schools can reopen this fall for in-person education. >> was no hiccups for now reporting live in napa county. sarah stinson back to you, ok. thank you very much. sara, for your health as scary as covid and the delta variant are now there's something even more serious. >> that has been detected in the bay area and it's called delta. plus. >> officials say it's even more contagious. then the delta variant a delta plus was first detected in europe in

march. so doctors say it's more transmissible is transmissible and also it latches on to the long cells. more easily. >> it's kind of like delta, but it's taken some super powers data which was this is from the south africa. and that's why it's by like delta. but the pluses, it increase. vision like the south beta variant. >> as of last week, 298 people in santa clara county had the delta variant and 47 tested positive for delta. plus, alameda county perforce fewer than 10 cases of delta plus as of last tuesday and contra costa county less than 7% of their detected delta cases have been dealt a plus. >> state health officials say that because of the danger of the delta variant and the well, the danger it poses to everybody. health care workers specifically across the state

now have to be fully vaccinated by the end of september. so the state order applies to general acute care, hospitals. skilled nursing facilities and intermediate care facilities. state health officials say the visitors to nursing homes will also have to show proof of vaccination unvaccinated visitors will have to show at least a negative covid test within 72 hours of their visit in order to be let inside across the state. we've had more than 5500 people now currently hospitalized with covid-19. that's the highest number of hospitalizations since february. 25th more than 9500 new cases of the virus have been reported and that was just yesterday, another 56 deaths as well. 63% of the state's population now is fully vaccinated and health officials want to get that number closer to 100 and the south not taking any chances with the delta variant and they want to make sure that. >> the employees are covered. yeah. crawford's will trend actually live for us in san jose to tell us more about what 2 major employers are doing to keep everybody safe. will.

shaded in yellow and this means that the air quality is moderate it's considered acceptable. but there is a risk for people who are sensitive to air pollution. now, as you guys said, the bay area quality management has been issuing an air quality alert this week and if you take a look at this video. it's from walnut creek. some of the skies are blue. but in the past hour i've noticed a with some haze in the in the air. now experts say the smoke from the macfarlane monument and river complex fires is causing this. some people will see smoky and hazy skies in the north and east bay, especially in napa, sonoma and solano counties. we want to be careful because smoke can irritate your eyes and your airways causing you to cough have a scratchy throat and eric hatey sinuses now older people, children and people with respiratory illnesses are more susceptible to elevated air pollution levels. however, the bay area. quality management says the smoke should not pose any health risk. so the best way to protect yourself from these
