and the weekly test positivity rate. that rate is now approaching 7%. last week it was about 5.5%. the week before that, practically 4.5%. you can see the trend. hospitalizations are up 56% in the last two weeks. more than half the states are rising. 15 states including california are ordered to quarantine upon arrival. about 4,000 new cases since yesterday. that's one of the smallest increases lately. as you can see from the state department of public health. it is one of the key components to building a better bay area. that's why we're concerned about enforcement measures are still in question. stephanie sierra is live with that story tonight. >> reporter: the governor mentioned 350,000 businesses

across the state received a notice the public health mandate must be enforced. but how it will be enforced is still a question. what we do know is the state is not issuing a penalty for those who do not come my. ahead of the holiday weekend, governor gavin newsom announce ad new awareness campaign hoping to encourage compliance. >> messages that we think can hit home in traditional ways, emotional ways. >> reporter: while the videos may spread awareness, some criticize it is not enough to solve the problem. >> what do you say to critics who suggest that psas may be great but it's time for your office to get tougher on y imposinfi orter: the reon ptily answered the wiheld funng to thosemand but it is still foggy. what enforcement means. >> look.

we're not going into people's back yards to enforce it. i encourage peopled the the right thing. >> reporter: even scientists say encouragement isn't going to cut it. >> if you want to solve this, we need to enforce it. >> reporter: dr. wit with kaiser permanente said there needs to be consequences. he said it worked for france. >> if they were on a street without a mask, they were fined. if they were out beyond one kilometer without a purpose, 150 euros first offense. 500 euros second offense. the curve went up and it went do you mean. and it is as low as it was in a busy holiday weekend, there are only a select number of counties across the state like monterey that will be issuing fines. >> a avoid crowds. >> reporter: he talked about strike teams today. this is his latest effort

directing state agencies to help counties with enforcement. what exactly that help will be is still under clear at this point. we are looking into it. >> stephanie, before you go, enforcement makes you think there could be periodic compliance checks, doesn't it? >> reporter: a great point. it certainly raises that question. the governor didn't give a direct answer. we know the strike teams are working in six regions across the state which does include, of course, the bay area. we are waiting to see if in fakt compliance checks will be a part of. effort. >> thank you. some cities are now willing to issue fines for not wearing a mask. in santa monica and beverly hills, it is $100 for a first offense. in west hollywood, $300. >> i think the problem is people are not taking it seriously and it is a full blown pandemic. i'm a doctor covid patients all the time.

so it's real. >> it's been two weeks since governor newsom mandated wearing masks across the state. many counties already had local rules to that effect in place. in napa, the city and county announced the formation of a compliance task force to tackle the issue of mask wearing. here's abc7 news reporter wayne friedman. >> reporter: in communities across california, places like napa, the change has been slow and steady. from never trusting people in masks, it is the other way around. >> i think a little irresponsible to be in places walking around without a mask. considering the infection rates and the advice from public health officials and the a oer coun now fe los of state funding if they don't get masking and social distancing under control. that is why napa's county health director and board of supervisors are talking about taking it to the next level. >> if education and outreach

isn't enough, it will get to the point where we have to have more enforcement for noncompliance. >> reporter: you just heard the two new e-words. education and enforcement. now at add another for business owners, elation. >> it is not our job. no. >> it is really challenging to make the host at a restaurant be the enforcer of mask wearing. >> reporter: as in many communities, they've been through three excruciating months without income while investing for reopening. this owner has nut plastic barriers and still not opened inside to protect his staff. it is tough being tough, he says. >> if somebody comes in and they're not willing to wear a mask or get their temperature taken, we won't serve them. period. full stop. >> reporter: it remains unclear what measures it might take. fines? citations? >> if health officials can't change behavior, the governor can't change someone's behavior, if the data won't change someone's behavior.

i don't know how effective a fine will be. >> reporter: we may soon find out. abc7 news. now in total, the bay area including snab cruz county has more than 25,000 diagnosed coronavirus cases now. this graph here charts the number of new cases reported each day. the yellow line is our rolling average calculated from the previous seven days of data. that rolling average continues to set new records. alameda county is the first to fast 6,000 case mark. the last county to allow for outdoor dining that started less than two weeks ago. santa clara county officials announced a new risk based framework to have the next phase of the opening. >> reporter: departing from the

sector specific plan that has been used in santa clara county, sarah cody outlined a new order offering a long term containment pstrategy for covid-19. >> we need to adapt to a new way of being a new way of living, that keeps us all safe and that allows us to do some of the things we miss and that we cherish and find most meaningful. >> multiple activity that's were previously restricted can now resume including gyms, hair and nail salons and small gatherings. however the mandatory use of face coverings and capacity limits will be in place. >> it will come back with a vengeance if you let your guard down. >> indoor activity that's will require the removal of a face covering such as indoor dining or swimming pools will continue to be off limits. ples that eoura large crowds like theaters, nightclubs and arena there's stay closed under the new order.

infectious disease experts say the county's approach make sense. the more air flow you have access to, the better. >> we have to double down and keep reminding ourselves that what we're doing is literally for the lives and well being of our community and our nation. >> reporter: employers must also alert the public health department of any cases of covid-19 that are directly tied to their work places. >> i want to say one big thank you to all of you who have been sheltering in place, for wearing your masks. join us. this is the only way to fight te t ord or ds afterer. the statepproveswhr date comes . abc7 news. in addition to health, education is a big part of building a better bay area. today we spoke directly with the head of california schools, tony

thurman. >> we can't make a bunch of rules and then not supply support to our educators. this is all different and new. we've never had this level of online learning provided in california. or in the nation. so as we move to more of it, we have to provide professional development and training that focuses on quality for our educators and we will be pushing for that and with our districts to make sure our teachers are getting that training. titled getting answers. it is on tv and it is interactive so you can take part online through facebook live, on youtube live and the abc7 news app. next, we'll turn to the impact on our economy which is pro found, as you know. thousands are still waiting for unemployment benefits to arrive. what is being done about it? i'm spencer

the nasdaq was up 53 points. the dow gained 92. and the s&p 500 rose 14 points for a four-day winning streak. unemployment was at 11.1% last month with the economy adding 4.8 million jobs. that was down from 13.3% in may. but it is still at depression era levels. the economy is part of building a better bay area. and called on california's employment development to reform its ways immediately as so many people deplete their savings.

abc7 news reporter melanie woodrow is on that story. >> reporter: california's development department says it is working around the clock, seven days a week, processing unemployment benefits during the pandemic. despite paying more than $37.5 billion in benefits over the past few months and processing more than 7 million claims, there are hundreds of californians who have told 7 on your side and state lawmakers that they've received only one payment or no payments at all. >> i've just been using credit cards and savings and my business isn't able to open. so yeah. i don't know what to do next. >> i've been paying taxes for my entire life. good upstanding citizen. i don't understand why i can't access these benefits. >> i've only received one payment in the last 15 weeks that i've been unemployed. >> the assembly member is calling on e.d.d. to reduce think response time, better manage the call centers and perform its online operations. >> e.d.d. is truly failing our

processed more than 6.3 million claims from californians since mid-march. abc7 news. a lot of us are using these many months at home to finally clean our garages and storage spaces. but some are going too far leaving donations outside several good will locations even though most of them are closed and this has created a big problem. good will reached out to abc7 to let people know where to drop off their goods. here's more on this story. >> reporter: in mid-march all the centers closed. since then only one drop-off location has reopened in san francisco with limited hours. >> all the way up. >> reporter: from 9:00 in the morning to 2:00 p.m. tuesday through saturday. >> we started with getting over 100 per day. >> reporter: many people have been stuck at home so they've

been digging deep. deep inside their closets and garages getting things they've years. >> our garage has never been cleaner. so yeah. obviously we're going for everything. we're donating what we can. >> reporter: good will wants everyone to know the portrero hill location is where you drop off donations. not here at the haight-ashbury and not here on fill more street. >> when they drop off, it gets exposed to the elements so moisture can damage clothing. sometimes people go through our stuff and styles it gets strunl throughout the street. >> reporter: so much was going on that good will retail store had to put an employee outside the store to people thattions a accepted. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: where are all these

items going to? good will has reopened only 8 of the 19 retail stores in san francisco, san mateo and marin counties. so they say there's quality and quantity. >> it feels like you're in right now. it is great. it's really great. we have to manage it the best we can. abc7 news. new at 6:00, the solano district attorney said she is recusing herself and her office from reviewing two recent deadly officer involved shootings. the shootings are being referred to the state attorney general's office. last month, the office turned down a request to conduct an independent review saying the d.a. did not provide them with information indicating her office was not capable of a fair and thorough review. she was killed in 2018. social justice is one area that abc7 is focusing on as we

focus on building a better bay area. few have been donating to social justice causes. a major exception is the levi strauss foundation and abc7 news reporter dade louie takes a look at how it is making a difference. >> reporter: the bay area has a long history as an incubator of grass ruth movements. of protests. calls for change. >> we are really at a cross roads as a society and what it mean to build a better bay area. >> reporter: the levi strauss foundation has been supporting social justice leaders for over a decade, recently donating close to $4 million to help several leaders of bay area groups to reinvent themselves. calling them pioneers. the black lives matter movement is intensifying the call for change. >> i don't necessarily feel pressure. i feel relieved that i think the entire country is seeing the depth of change that is

necessary. >> reporter: zachary norris is the executive director. being a pioneer allowed him to write a become on justice reform and to develop restore oakland. a community resource central for job training and other services. the resources spent on locking down and locking down young people are instead spent on lifting them up and kegting them to opportunities that will ultimately make them successful. >> the pastor can be found holding a mega phone or challenging the status quo. one of the foundation goals was to encourage coalition building. >> we all have different roles to play. an alignment around a shared on, purpose and shared ideas. it takes a deep, deep love for the people most facts by the systems that are funded by our tax dollars. how do we show compassion and belonging? >> reporter: the levi strauss

inland. there is a chance of some spotty morning drizzle. we'll be warming up significantly for the fourth of july weekend and then cooling down again early next week. i should point out that the surf at our bay area beaches is rough right now. wave heights are elevated. and as a result, we have a beach hazard statement that will be in effect from 3:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. sunday for our south facing beaches, an increased risk of sneaker waves and rip currents. and on we go to our forecast animation showing that surge of low clouds and fog moving across the bay and locally inland. 5:00 tomorrow morning, as the commute gets underway. there will be reduced visibility and lots of fog. it will burp back giving as you sunny day away from the coast. hoe to mid 50s. up to about 60 on the coast. mid 70s along the bay shoreline and mid 80s inland. it will warm up rather sharply on saturday which is fourth of july. look for mid 60s on the coast, to about 80 on the bay

shoreline. and we'll see some mid 90s in the warmest inland locations on saturday and on sunday. so it will be a nice warm-up for the entire fourth of july weekend a cooldown begins early next week. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. notice on monday, temperatures drop rather sharply under breezy conditions. we'll have a rather breezy pattern with temperatures below average this time of year. certainly in the comfortable range of mid to upper 80s inland. mid 70s around the bay the fourth of july weekend is looking sensational. dan? >> so many people appreciate that forecast. thank you. >> coming up next, the sinister nature of coronavirus. local researchers say they may be able to exploit it to find a drug to treat the disease.

if you've been waiting weeks or even longer for ups to deliver your packages, you are

certainly not alone. hundreds of unhappy ups customers have been lining up at distribution centers in recent days, trying to find packages that are lost, unaccounted for and long overdue. >> it is frustrating and strange. complaints are pouring into 7 on your side and michael finney is live to explain what's going on. michael? >> reporter: i've been hearing from viewers all over the bay area desperate to get their gett packages, sometimes medication. they say they don't know where the package is and ups doesn't know when it will arrive. the line is long outside the ups distribution central. customers hoping to final their missing packages. >> i would be so much happier if i just knew why or where or what was going on instead of, i don't know? i was standing there with my eyes covered and shaking and

trying not to cry. >> reporter: for eileen, it was crucial to find her missing package. it contained a live animal, or so she hoped. >> i drove down to the distribution central and i was crying and begging for help, asking anyone to please help find him. >> reporter: eileen had purchased a baby bearded dragon like this one. it was shipped by ups overnight to ensure it got there quickly. but days later, it was nowhere to be found. >> i finally wrote them an email and. if you don't deliver, you're going to kill him. >> reporter: she was stunned at this reply from ups saying, i understand your concern and that this may cause that your pet arrives dead. i am really sorry. >> i hope he arrives alive even though we won't help you. >> monday, tuesday, wednesday morning. exactly the same thing. >> reporter: david flower of concord was waiting, too. ups said his new can i haven sink was about to be delivered. he went ahead and ripped out his

old one. and waited for that familiar brown truck. and waited and waited. >> i felt like a little kid watching for the ice cream truck. >> his sink never came. >> it's awkward when you realize, you can't wash your hands. you can't rinse something. >> he finally offered to go get it. >> he said there are 35 trailers out there. we have no idea where it is. >> they each kaktd 7 on your side. we asked yous to help. the next day it found his sink at the warehouse. ups also found the box with his lizard. >> i saw it drive up. >> reporter: but was he alive? >> we had already agreed that i was too scared, too emotional to be the one to tome box. >> her roommate opened the package. and then a scratching sound. >> he told me he was alive. and i have been trying to hold

it together to not cry. because i'm so happy. >> reporter: here he is. a tiny dragon. apparently okay after almost a week with no food or light. >> i thank you so much. i can't even describe how much it means to me that you took the time to help. >> reporter: that's what i'm here for. ups blames the coronavirus and shipping issues. they don't talk about why they were not able to adjust. they are hiring more workers now. and viewers started telling us that they were getting packages from ups, not from brown trucks but from personal vehicles and ups has now confirmed to 7 on your side that they're hiring drivers in their own cars to deliver packages. so things could be getting better. if you're having an issue, let me know about it so i can keep track of this.

>> wow, what great work there. i'm so happy to see that happy ending for that young woman. many thanks to you. happening right now, oakland mayor libby schaaf is talking about a universal basic pilot program similar to the one launched in stockton. one question is where would that money come from? >> absent the city council deciding this is something they would want to allocate funds for, this is something we believe will warn tremendous and frankly, already has warranted tremendous philanthropic interest. >> schaaf is part of a coalition of 11 mayors advocating for this garoned income. >> a bay area research team has unlocked some unnerving secrets about how the virus actually works. but time, they could provide a powerful strategy for disrupting it. >> reporter: the covid-19 virus

isn't just devastating. it is devastatingly clever. hijacking the power of our own cells in novel ways to make itself more dangerous. now a team at ucsf is hoping to turn one of the virus's own weapons against it. >> in my opinion, you have to respect the virus. let the virus tell you its secrets. >> reporter: the research biologist and his team began spying on the virus as it infected human cells. paying special attention to how those cells were being exploited. using tools like mass spectrometers, they discovered something truly chilling. first it helps to understand that invading viruses like covid use material in our own cells to make companies of themselves. eventually stretching host cell like a balloon. when that cell or balloon finally bursts, the newly minted virus copies can then swim out to attack surrounding cells. the covid-19 virus is so devious, it doesn't even need to wait for that burst to actually

happen. microscopic images captured by those in germany and montana show the cells infected had grown probe-like tentacles. they have the ability to pierce the surface of surrounding cells, providing the covid virus with a kind of invasion tunnel. possibly explaining how it spread so quickly. >> it is such a brilliant and devious strategy. >> reporter: but he wondered, could it also have an achilles' heel? his team learned the virus was exploiting a specific type of molecule to create it. it is from a family of cellular helpers. they're so critical to a cell's function that they've become a popular target for specialized cancer drugs, broadly known as kinase inhibitors. the question now, could one of those cancer drugs also be a covid fighter? >> we narrowed in on about a dozen. we highlighted about six or

seven very potent ones and we're very, very excited to try to take these into clinical trials. >> reporter: the strategy would be to block the virus from creating those tentacles and perhaps slowing its spread. neutralizing one of the most poet ebl weapons with the goal of defeating it. >> reporter: really fascinating work. they believe it might be combined with another drug in a type of cocktail formula to treat the virus. this weekend's fourth of july will be yet another holiday to experience in these unusual pandemic conditions. we still have the fireworks but the reaction might be different. we'll explain. within days, you will get to see hamilton at home with a
