SHOOTINGS THAT HAS THE POLICE
UNDER THE MICROSCOPE. THE BAY
AREA'S LARGEST COUNTY MAY BE ON
THE VERGE OF GETTING THE GREEN
LIGHT TO REOPEN THE ECONOMY
JUST A LITTLE MORE.
TONIGHT COUNTY LEADERS ARE
SAYING NOT SO FAST.
MARIA MEDINA IS LIVE IN SAN
JOSE TO EXPLAIN WHY THE COUNTY
WILL KEEP SOME BUSINESSES
CLOSED. Reporter: YOU MAY BE
WONDERING WHY THE STATE IS
SAYING OKAY BUT THE COUNTY IS
SAYING NO.
TYPICALLY COUNTIES ENFORCE THE
MOST RESTRICTIVE ORDERS AND IN
THIS CASE, IT IS CEREN TO SEND
TO CARA HONEY.
MARISSA IS NOT ONLY A
TEACHER IN SAN JOSE AND A BOARD
MEMBER.
I HAVE A CHILD WITH DOWN
SYNDROME.
SHE IS ALSO A MOTHER.
IF I WERE TO GET IT AND GIVE
IT TO MY SON, I DON'T KNOW IF
HE WILL SURVIVE.
TO MAKE THIS SANTA CLARA COUNTY
MAY REOPEN PERSONAL INDOOR
SERVICES.
AND IT COULD HAPPEN AS SOON AS
NEXT TUESDAY.
THERE SHOULD BE NO MISTAKE,
WE STILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT OF COVID TRANSMISSION
IN OUR COMMUNITY.
BUT COUNTY LEADERS WILL
STICK WITH THE RESTRICTIONS AND
KEEP THOSE PLACES CLOSED.
COUNTY COUNSEL JAMES WILLIAMS
SAYS THE COUNTY MOVED INTO THE
RED TEAR TWO WEEKS AGO BUT ONLY
BECAUSE OF ITS HIGH LEVEL OF
TESTING.
BECAUSE WE ARE DOING MORE
TESTING THAN THE STATE AVERAGE
THEY HAVE A FACTOR THEY APPLY.
MANY BUSINESSES INCLUDING
THE FITNESS INDUSTRY ARE
WATCHING SALES DECLINING CAN'T
WAIT FOR THE DAY THEY CAN
REOPEN WHILE OTHERS ARE TRYING
TO KEEP THEIR DOORS CLOSED FOR
NOW.
WE KNOW IT'S THE RIGHT THING
FOR NOW AND KEEPING OURSELVES
SAFE AND THERE WERE STUDENTS
SAFE. WE WILL NOT KNOW IF
SANTA CLARA COUNTY HAS
OFFICIALLY MOVED INTO THE RED
