until january. i'm ama daetz. >> i'm larry beil. solano, santa cruz and napa got the first taste of stay at home. most other businesses are either closed or allowed to operate outdoors only. now most of you probably got this emergency alert on your phone today. the stay-at-home order kicked in after our region's icu availability dropped under the state's 15% threshold. the earliest it will lift is january 8th three weeks away. so we'll ride through christmas and new years like this. >> most people compile with the rules doing their part to stop the spread of coronavirus. but not everyone. we've told you before about a local yoga studio that's been holding maskless indoor classes throughout the pandemic. the owner doesn't believe coronavirus is real. >> i mean, if it's a pandemic wouldn't we be stacking bodies? we don't hear of anybody dying.

>> at last count coronavirus claimed 22,000 california lives including 200 in san mateo county where this oyoga studio violates the rules. stephanie sierra has been on the case for months and joins us live tonight, steph? >> indoor yoga studios were shut down three weeks ago but this business has been advertising indoor classes for the last two weeks while covid cases continue surging across the bay area. >> county and state regulations require everyone have a mask inside. >> yeah, well, it's everybody's option, though. >> what? >> it's everybody's option. >> they have a state require the. >> i'm not making them wear masks. >> thomas is the owner. we tried to explain the state health order to him back in october after 16 complaints with concerns over health and safety were filed against his business. >> it's himy business and my

choice. >> not exactly. the yoga studio qualifies as an indoor fitness gym that is required to close indoor operations around three weeks ago on november 29th. on december 4 th, he posted this on facebook. we just keep bringing the heat. no fear mongers here and continued over the past two weeks to advertise indoor classes. last night at least 14 people who appeared not to be wearing masks entered the business for two separate classes. >> i want to understand why you're continuing to offer indoor classes right now. can you explain? >> because i have a right to. >> actually, he doesn't. heather leads san mateo county they received complaints about pacifica beach yoga and investigating. >> while you make it a priority to look into this? >> certainly we'll be investigating it. >> the unit was launched mid october to make sure businesses compile. as of today, units received 723

complaints about businesses across the county. that's prompted 80 written warnings. >> the vast majority of businesses just wt to do the right thing and they are after some guidance. >> reporter: in antoon's case. >> it's a vicelation of the health advisory. >> go away [ bleep ]. >> the covid compliance unit has received specific complaints about pacifica beach yoga and is in the process of investigating. we reached out to pacifica police but yet to hear back. >> stephanie, thank you. surprised people want to take classes indoors at this point. projecting your health. that's part of building a better bay area. the latest data from the state is bad but not the worst that we've seen this week. the only records set today are for hospitalized and icu patients. numbers we've seen grow continually for more than a week. look at the map now. it shows where the bulk of the patients are and that is

southern california where a lot of people refuse to wear masks. the top five counties with the most patients are all in southern california. icu availability in that region down to zero. >> i don't think i've ever heard of l.a. county of all the icu beds they are hitting zero capacity because of a normal winter surge. so anyone who is out there who still has any doubt towards this pandemic or doubts of the severity, i challenge you and beg you to go volunteer in a covid unit. go actually look to see what is happening right now because it's undeniably terrible. >> but there is a hint of good news when we talk about the bay area this chart, you'll see ou daily cases, the average is slightly down from the peak reached earlier this week. big news today, the fda authorized moderna's vaccine that means it can begin distribution immediately. the fda spoke minutes ago about this historic decision. >> we worked quickly based on the urgency of this global

pandemic, not because of external pressure. the transparency around our review of the moderna covid-19 vaccine should assure the public that this vaccine met the vacci rigorous standards. >> only pfizer's vaccine had been authorized since yesterday. they are receiving more allocations than anticipated. >> we hoped to get 393,000 vaccinations or doses allocated to the state in that second allocation but we were told yesterday by cdc hhs they are cutting that by 40%. so it went from 393,000 down to 233,025. >> vaccinations are underway in every bay area county in san mateo county, there there theree countdown. >> three, two, one.

stream q and a today. >> the idea of vaccinating teachers is very high up in the priority as well as doing surveillance in the schools so that you can get a good feel for the penetration of infection, which hopefully, will continue to be low and not have to shut down every time you get a student that's infected. >> dr. fauci also acknowledged california's struggle to slow down the spread of covid-19 but assured as weeks go on the light at the end of the tunnel will get quote brighter and brighter. >> vaccinations will help protect all of us but the process will take months. it's why we need to stay vigilant now and as we mentioned, the state's stay-at-home order applies to the entire bay area region. also starting today, a ten-day quarantine for anybody coming into san francisco from outside the bay area and announcements could be heard today at sfo. >> san francisco and santa clara counties now require a ten-day

scientists from all over the world. >> the panel stressed the importance of seeking your doctor's advice. they warned there is so much information that can be more contagious than the virus itself. you can find this week's special stories in depth online at abc7news.com/vaccine and if you have questions, go to abc7news.com to get them answered there. you'll find this form on most of our stories to send your questions directly to us here at a bbc 7 news. coming up next, meet the world war ii veteran that just received a medal today at age 107. also ahead. ♪ deck the halls >> the sounds of the season for a very deserving senior. i'm dion lim in napa with the surprise show of generosity. ♪ fa - hi, i'm steve. - i'm lea. and we live in north pole, alaska. - i'm a retired school counselor.
