THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

WHILE PANDEMIC RESTRICTIONS ARE SAID TO BE LIFTED ON JUNE 15, THERE IS STILL A QUESTION ABOUT WEARING MASKS IN THE WORKPLACE.

A COMMITTEE HAS BEEN MEETING ALL DAY, ARGUMENTS FOR AND KEEPING A MASK MANDATE.

AT THIS HOUR THERE IS STILL NO DECISION.

WE SPOKE WITH A LOCAL BUSINESS LEADER ABOUT WHAT AN EXTENSION COULD MEAN.

>>> THE PROPOSAL WOULD REQUIRE MASKS IN THE WORKPLACE, EVEN AFTER JUNE 15, UNLESS ALL EMPLOYEES ARE VACCINATED.

>> Reporter: THIS IS LEADERS SAY THAT IS CONTRARY TO WHAT GOVERNOR NEWSOM HAS SAID AND THE CDC GUIDELINES.

JERRY SANDERS IS PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE SAN DIEGO REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

>> IT IS NOT A FULL OPEN LIKE THE GOVERNMENT PROCESS.

>> Reporter: A SEPARATE STANDARD WITH WORKPLACE WOULD BE CONFUSING.

>> THEY WILL HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMING IN WHO HAVE LISTENED TO THE GOVERNOR SAYING YOU DO NOT NEED TO WEAR A MASK.

LISTEN TO THE CDC, WHICH IS YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WEAR A MASK.

AND YOU HAVE CAL OSHA SAYING YOU DO.

IT IS CONFUSING FOR ALL BUSINESS, BUT PEOPLE IN GENERAL.

>> Reporter: AN EXTENSION WOULD BE AN OBSTACLE FOR BUSINESSES TRYING TO RECOVER FROM THE PANDEMIC.

>>> IF THEY VOTE TO UPHOLD THOSE GUIDELINES THERE WILL BE CHAOS IN THE BUSINESS WORLD.

YOU DO NOT KNOW HOUSE BUSINESSES ARE SET UP TO HAVE AN HR DEPARTMENT AND ALL THAT.

THE SMALL BUSINESSES WITH FOUR OR FIVE EMPLOYEES.

THEY WILL NOT BE SURE WHAT TO DO.

WITH THE ISSUE THAT GUIDELINE THEN EMPLOYERS HAVE TO PROVIDE BY THAT.

OSHA IS SETTING UP BUSINESSES --.

>> Reporter: THE CHAMBER IS PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION ON BEHALF OF ITS MEMBERS.

>>> CAL OSHA BOARD IS STILL TAKING PUBLIC COMMENTS BEFORE ANY BOAT CAN TAKE PLACE.

100 PEOPLE SIGNED UP TO WEIGH IN ON THE MATTER.

>>> JUST UNDER 2 MILLION SAN DIEGO HAVE GOTTEN THERE COVID- 19 VACCINE.

IT REMAINS UNCLEAR IF A THIRD BOOSTER SHOT WILL BE NEEDED IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

DR. ANTHONY'S THAT SHE HAS QUIT HIS RESEARCH.

INTERNET HAS BEEN TESTING THEM.

>> BOOSTER SHOTS DID WORK.

THEY HAD A VERY BOOSTER SHOT.

>> Reporter: BOOSTER SHOTS WILL LIKELY BE AVAILABLE.

THE BIG QUESTION IS WHEN OR IF THEY WERE NEEDED.

IT COMES INTO TWO THINGS.

ALONG THE IMMUNITY LASTS AND THE VARIANCE.

>> THE SIMILAR PARENTS ARE MORE WORRISOME.

SOME OF THEM ESCAPE IMMUNITY TO SOME DEGREE.

ESSENTIALLY THE VARIANCE ARE TOUGHER TO STOP THAN THE ORIGINAL VIRUS.

THE VACCINE MIGHT NOT LAST AS LONG.

>> Reporter: THERE IS A 50-50 CHANCE THE BOOSTER SHOTS WILL BE RECOMMENDED BY THE WINTER OF THIS YEAR.

IT MIGHT NOT BE FOR EVERYONE RIGHT AWAY.

>>> THERE IS A RISK ASSESSMENT.

IF YOU ARE OVER 65 YOU SHOULD GET A BOOSTER IMMUNIZATION AT THIS POINT.

IF YOU ARE UNDER 65 THEN YOU CAN WAIT LONGER, MAYBE ANOTHER YEAR.

SHOWCASES THE BEST CASE SCENARIO IS THAT THE VACCINE PLUS A COUPLE YEARS.

WE DO NOT KNOW THAT YET.

>> BASICALLY WE NEED MORE TIME.

IS NOT A CLEAR HISTORICAL REFERENCE POINT FOR SAYING, HERE IS HOW LONG IMMUNITY LASTS AFTER YOU HAVE A VACCINE.

WE HAVE TWO MAJOR THAT AND WATCH THAT.

>> Reporter: BOOSTER SHOTS CAN DEPEND ON INFECTION RATES.

>> SOURCE TO WILL NOT BE ERADICATED.

IT IS TOO WIDE SPREAD TOO EASILY SPREAD FROM PERSON TO PERSON.

>> Reporter: SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY TO ITS GOAL OF HERD IMMUNITY.

IT IS A QA TO STOP THE VIRUS.

ESPECIALLY IN INTERNATIONALLY TROUBLED AREAS LIKE SAN DIEGO.

>>> HERD IMMUNITY IS NOT THIS LINE YOU CROSS AND NOTHING HAPPENS BEFORE AND EVERYTHING HAPPENS AS SOON AS YOU CROSS IT.

THERE IS A PROGRESSION.

I THINK MOST PEOPLE THINK WE ARE IN THE RANGE WERE SECURED IMMUNITY SHOULD BE HAVING AN EFFECT ON IT SHOULD GET BETTER AND BETTER WITH THE MORE PEOPLE YOU GET VACCINATED.

>> Reporter: SOME AREAS WILL NOT LEAK WE GET TO HERD IMMUNITY AND CONTINUED TO SEE POCKETS OF OUTBREAK.

>> Reporter: HERNANDO PLAZA POLICE DEPARTMENT'S NEW RELEASED PROCEDURES, WHICH INCLUDE USING PEOPLE'S PREFERRED PRONOUNS AND BOOKING INDIVIDUALS INTO FACILITIES THAT ALIGN WITH A GENDER IDENTITY.

AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HE IS QUICK TO SAY THAT THIS IS ONE STEP ON THE ROAD TOWARD MORE EQUITABLE TREATMENT.
