Convenience Big Store: A mask mandate is returning to one Sacramento area county

Yolo County to require indoor masking again by end of July – As California struggles to rein in the COVID-19 Delta variant, Yolo County Health Officer Dr. Aimee Sisson issued an indoor masking mandate on a Tuesday Board of Supervisors meeting. "The mask mandate is the least disruptive and the masking mandate has no economical effect on the local economy and will allow businesses to stay open. It will have the most immediate impact on Yolo County residents," Dr. Sisson said at the board meeting. The masking order issued Tuesday goes into effect on Friday, July 30. This comes on the same day the CDC changes course on indoor masking which now recommends that fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors where the Delta variant is growing. The new order is set to remain in effect until the case rate falls below 2.0 per 100,000 residents for 7 consecutive days, according to a press release from the county. (Eden Harris, ABC10)

Flex Alert issued for Wednesday evening – As a heat wave moves in, the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) is asking consumers to preserve energy on Wednesday to help alleviate stress on the power grid. Consumers are being asked to limit energy usage from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. "Reduced electricity use during a Flex Alert can prevent further emergency measures, including rotating power outages," CAISO said in a news release. Northern California is experiencing higher than normal temperatures which, in turn, is causing air conditioners to work harder than usual. (Eden Harris, ABC10)

Truckee bus driver called a hero after near miss with plane crash –Derek Bosserman was on his normal bus route dropping off soon to be sixth-graders when a twin engine private jet crashed down right in front of him. He heard it coming and slammed on the brakes to avoid being seriously hurt or killed. "I see the aircraft coming in. I can tell it's a jet, and it hits some trees and it catches fire and explodes probably 50 feet in front of me," Bosserman said. He immediately checked on the students onboard his bus. "My first priority is my kids. I looked back asking 'Are you guys okay?" The plane seared off trees, hitting the ground hard and bursting into flames. Surveillance video posted to Nextdoor by user S.L. shows the moment Bosserman drove by and the crash happened. (Madison Wade, ABC10)
