There are urgent new efforts to fight the coronavirus. Thats where we start this morning as more states face a major resurgence of the disease. California, the countrys most populous state announced a statewide rule mandating masks in most public places. Cases have spiked in the last two weeks as more businesses start to reopen. In all, there are now 11 states with mask requirements meant to help people stay safe. But not everyone is happy about the precautions. Carter evans is in santa monica. Carter, good morning. Good morning. Many californians already wear masks, but it is a contentious issue in some parts of the state. Still, like it or not, now masks are required in this state of nearly 40 million people.

Theres a significant number of cases where people test negative and a month or two months later, can test positive again. Its been documented that its not live virus, that its fragments of the virus. And right now with the current technology, its very hard to assess whether this is an active virus of covid nine or just a different infection. The good news is dr. Agus says if someone has those virus fragments, they are likely not contagious. The problem is, its not clear how long someone remains immune after they recover from the disease and none of those antibody tests on the market right now can really predict immunity. Tony . Carter, the important thing to remember about masks is they are not to protect the individual but to protect others. Thats why they are so crucial. Lets go to the arena in tulsa, oklahoma, where President Trump will hold a rally tomorrow.

Good morning, gayle. Right after former officer rolfe was booked for felony murder, he was transferred to a different county jail. The Death Penalty is now off the table in his case.

Anthony . Mark strassmann, thank you, mark. Hundreds of thousands of young immigrants are resting a bit easier this morning after the Supreme Court issued a ruling that allows the socalled dreamers to stay in the u. S. A high court rejected the Trump Administrations attempt to end the daca program. It protects about 650,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the u. S. As children from deportation. Jan crawford is at the Supreme Court. Jan, good morning. Well, it has been a rough week for the president here at this newly conservative Supreme Court. Two major losses yesterday on one of the key issues, immigration, that he built his whole campaign around. The 54 decision was written by the conservative chief justice john roberts, joined by the courts four liberal justices and said the Trump Administrations decision to rescind the obamaera prom was arbitrary, capricious and failed to consider the hardship to daca residents. Justice Cairns Thomas called it an effort to avoid a politically controversial but legally correct decision. It comes on the heels of mondays landmark decision in that transgender and gay rights case and yesterday on twitter, President Trump lashed out. He called the decisions horrible and politically charged. And he quickly pivoted to november saying we need more justices. Vote trump 2020. Now the ruling sends the case back to the department of Homeland Security to try again to justify why it should end this program. That is unlikely to happen before november, which puts the issue of immigration, the makeup of the Supreme Court squarely in the november election. To tony . It sure does. Jan crawford, thank you. While daca supporters celebrated outside the Supreme Court yesterday, many socalled dreamers acknowledged there will be more legal battles to stay in the united states. Cbs news contributor Maria Elena Salinas spoke to some of them to get their reaction. So they went from celebration to more concern. What did you learn . Good morning, tony. While dreamers across the country are breathing a sigh of relief knowing their safety, their jobs and their access to school is secure for now, what we heard the refrain we heard over and over again is at this fight isnt over. From the steps of the Supreme Court to texas and california, undocumented dreamers celebrated thursday knowing the daca program would continue. What was it like when you heard the decision this morning . It definitely felt surreal. Its definitely been feeling like a huge weight off my shoulders. Reporter ana guevara was brought to the u. S. When she was 9. For these recent college graduates, daca is a lifeline. I dream about going to grad school but its very hard when you are living in the state of limbo. What is your life like living in limbo . When i graduate college, i know theres uncertainty every month of whether there will be a decision. And that living that uncertainty has definitely been a huge overwhelming feeling every day for me. Knowing that i its not just me but also for my family. Reporter that fear of life without daca was shared by ricardo aca who came to the u. S. As a teenager. I was living in the shadows. I was trying to get by. I was lying because i guess at the time, you dont know what your status could potentially affect your entire family. Reporter aca marched against the Trump Administrations decision to end the program. And he hopes the courts ruling is a message to those who are struggling. Before i had come out of the shadows, i didnt have a community. I didnt know other folks with daca. I think for those folks that might not have been eligible, i think they know that were fighting because i think everyone deserves respect and dignity and i think thats essentially the goal. Reporter guevara and lopez feel relieved but like aca, they know the fight isnt over. My family and i belong here. My community definitely belongs here, and that we are here and like we are going to continue our fight for permanent solution. Reporter these dreamers told us the original dreamers are their parents who came to this country in search of a better life so theyll continue to push for a permanent solution on capitol hill. Also yesterdays Supreme Court decision could open the door to thousands of young undocumented immigrants who had originally not qualified for the program or had been excluded from the program during the Trump Administration. Gayle . Maria eileena, thank you. Must be nice to wake up in the morning and not have your life in limbo. Dear freshpet, tank was overweight and had no energy. Until freshpet.
