Synopsis

San Diego County amended its public health order to require all employers to inform anyone who could have possibly been exposed if three or more cases of COVID-19 occur at the workplace in a 14-day period. Plus, South of Interstate 8 is the dividing line in the wide gap in the number of Paycheck Protection Program loans awarded to small businesses in San Diego County. Also, a new poll from the Public Policy Institute of California shows that a majority of Californians take the coronavirus pandemic seriously and also believe racism is widespread and a long-festering problem. And, Dolores Robledo, the matriarch of Roberto’s, one of San Diego’s favorite taco shops and the first Mexican fast-food chains, has died. The impact she had on the community. Finally, KPBS’ Summer Music Series is back. The series is to highlight and support San Diego’s music and artists. On today’s episode is blues artist Whitney Shay, a four-time San Diego Music Award winner.
