June 2020
Summary: COVID-19 shelter in place continues. San Francisco and other United States cities impose curfews in response to violence following racial injustice and police brutality protests. Across the United States some police respond brutally and with excessive force against people protesting against police brutality and the use of excessive force. Shelter in place restrictions are relaxed, then COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in the USA spike mostly in different areas than in previous months.
