PARTNERSHIPS IN OUR AREA TO
MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
>>> THANK YOU.
GOOD NEWS FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE ANXIOUS TO GET TESTED.
AND TODAY WE ARE EXPECTING AN
UPDATE ON WHETHER SCHOOL SPORTS
WILL BE ALLOWED TO TAKE PLACE
THIS FALL.
ACCORDING TO THE LA TIMES, THE
GOVERNING BOARD OF HIGH SCHOOL
ATHLETICS WILL MAKE THE
ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY.
THE SEASON WAS SUPPOSED TO
START THE LAST WEEK OF AUGUST
WITH FOOTBALL PRACTICE.
BUT WITH SEVERAL SCHOOLS OPTING
FOR DISTANCE LEARNING, PLANS
ARE UP IN THE AIR.
THE MERCURY NEWS REPORTS IT IS
LIKELY THAT FOOTBALL AND OTHER
FALL SPORTS WILL BE DELAYED.
>>> ALSO TODAY, WE ARE
EXPECTING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
HAIR SALONS, NAIL SALONS AND
BARBERSHOPS MOVING OPERATIONS
OUTDOORS.
STATE LAW PREVENTS THEM FROM
WORKING OUTDOORS, BUT THE
GOVERNOR IS BEING PUSHED AWAY
THE RULE.
THE BUSINESSES HAD TO SHUT DOWN
AGAIN NEXT WEEK IN MOST
CALIFORNIA COUNTIES.
>>> IN A TWEE, THE STATE AGENCY
THAT OVERSEES SALONS AND
BARBERSHOPS SAYS, SOME SERVICES
WILL BE ALLOWED TO MOVE
OUTDOORS.
AN UPDATE WILL LIKELY COME OUT
SOMETIME TODAY.
>>> PROTESTERS TAKING TO THE
STATE CAPITAL TO SPEED OUT
AGAINST THE CLOSURES AS COVID-
19 CASES SURGE.
THE CROWD YESTERDAY WAS SMALL ,
THE MESSAGE WAS LOUD AND CLEAR.
>> WE ARE WEARING THESE
RIDICULOUS MASKS THAT WE WERE
INITIALLY TOLD BY THE CDC DID
NOT WORK.
>> PROTESTERS CALL FOR SCHOOLS
TO REOPEN FOR HIM PERSON
INSTRUCTION AND SPOKE OUT
AGAINST HAVING TO WEAR MASKS.
PLACER COUNTY REPUBLICANS
HOSTED THE RALLY.
MOST OF THE PEOPLE ATTENDING
DID NOT WEAR MASKS.
>> THEY ARE POLITICIZING THE
ISSUE.
THEY ARE GETTING THEIR NEWS ON
SCIENCE FROM REPUBLICAN
POLITICIANS.
WHEN THEY SHOULD BE LISTENING
TO REAL SCIENTISTS.
>> ACCORDING TO A NEW ABC NEWS
POLL, NEARLY 8 IN 10 AMERICANS
DO WEAR MASKS MOST OF THE TIME
OR ALL OF THE TIME WHEN YOU'RE
PEOPLE IN PUBLIC.
THEY FOUND RECORDERS OF
DEMOCRATS WEAR MASKS ALL THE
TIME.
FOR REPUBLICANS, THAT NUMBER IS
JUST OVER HALF.
>>> WITH A NEW ROUND OF
SHUTDOWNS THIS WEEK, A LOT OF
YOU HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT
HOW TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
TODAY CONGRESS HITS BACK TO THE
NATION'S CAPITAL TO DEBATE A
NEW ROUND OF STIMULUS CHECKS
BUT THEY ARE RACING AGAINST THE
CLOCK.
SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCH
McCONNELL SAYS HIS OFFICE HAS
BEEN WORKING WITH THE U.S.

THEY ARE LOOKING TO PICK UP

HE IS THINKING ABOUT DIRECT
