1:40 am
relationship between releasing restrictions and covid case increases. each time a business sector is allowed to open, comes a spike. >> i think it's not so much a story of any one particular sector, but any place people have had to return to work where they couldn't remote. >> reporter: add social gatherings to that and that's how doctor moss says most of the community transmissions are occurring. >> it's greater than just one person. it's greater than just me. you know, you gotta kind of like help everybody with this situation. >> ultimately at the end of the day, it's about human being and lives and medical science. >> reporter: while many of the staff members from san quentin live in alameda county, there hasn't been any data to point

mountain of unprocessed claims. >> i probably called edd 8,000 times, for real. 8,000 times. >> i'm tired of the excuses that say we had this huge deluge. they were not prepared for even a slight uptick, let alone a deluge because they simply had not even gotten the technology right as a result of the previous audit. >> back in march, 88% of all claims were approved within two weeks. in june, that number dropped to 52%. the state is expected to grill edd leaders at the capitol tomorrow. new at 11:00, after scenes like this one during black lives matter protests in oakland, a federal judge has now issued a preliminary injunction limiting police use of force. under the order, rubber

1:50 am
gas or generator. running water, we don't have to go to the fire hydrant and get water. >> reporter: these trailers are part of a state-wide push to house the homeless. governor newsom dispatched about 1300 of these to counties across california, including san francisco, which is having success. >> we really jumped on it. >> reporter: abgale is the interim director of the homeless and -- >> all of us working together to kind of pull off this wild experiment, which is helping to keep approximately 120 folks, highly vulnerable folks from the bay view who are experiencing homelessness during covid. >> reporter: she says thanks to the city of san francisco, it was smooth sailing. but in san jose, it's a different story. >> this is an experiment that was -- it didn't work out.

1:53 am
so somebody can have our trailer. >> reporter: we've learned san jose's trailers are going to go to imperial county. as for covenant house, unfortunately the federal highway administration now says they don't want highway parcels to be used for homeless services. so we'll have to keep following that one. >> looks like a good program on a lot of levels. how long will the cities have these trailers? >> so, we know this was meant to get them through the pandemic. so at least for that long, but in san francisco, where it's working really well, they're hoping this becomes sort of a permanent solution. they're saying if we treat homelessness as an emergency, it can make a really big difference. >> it looks like a great solution. keep sending your stories and ideas to project home and see all of susie's reporting on our website. new at 11:00, there's a new
