By this time next week, vaccinated San Diegans will not have to wear masks inside most public places. County health officials say they will follow state guidelines to lift the mask requirement after February 15 with some restrictions. Next, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law another round of paid COVID sick leave for California workers. Later, California hits a milestone of more than 80,000 lives lost due to the COVID-19 virus. One of those was a farmworker who lived in Madera. We learn about him from his granddaughter. And, in Imperial County, migrants continue to drown in the All-American Canal. A look at what is being done to stop this from happening. Finally, artist Irma Sofia Poeter, who is based in Tecate, Mexico will hold a solo exhibit at Bread & Salt in San Diego this weekend.
