We have to get this under control now and we cant afford to let things continue at this rate."On Friday, a temporary ban on gatherings of people from different households, with religious services and protests exempt, was announced for Californias largest city, Los Angeles.That order affecting the United States second-largest city will take effect Monday and last at least three weeks, until December 20, Los Angeles countys public health department said.California imposed a night-time curfew across much of the state a week ago, but San Francisco was not affected because it was not at the time classified among the states most restrictive tier of locations.The United States on Friday topped 13 million Covid-19 cases -- the worlds highest -- and President-elect Joe Biden has warned of difficult weeks ahead before vaccines become widely available.

  US San Francisco launches street crisis response team

  Photo: ABC NewsSAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) -- U.S. San Francisco Mayor London Breed on Monday announced the launch of the first phase of the citys Street Crisis Response Team (SCRT) pilot program.The SCRT is part of San Franciscos efforts to develop alternatives to police responses to non-violent calls, which advances the roadmap to fundamentally change the way that the city handles public safety, and is also a major step in implementing Mental Health SF, the announcement said.The first team will begin responding to 911 calls regarding people experiencing behavioral health crises today.The SCRT aims to provide trauma-informed clinical interventions and care coordination for people who experience behavioral health crises on the streets of San Francisco.The SCRT pilot program is a collaboration between the San Francisco Department of Public Health and the San Francisco Fire Department with support from the Department of Emergency Management.The San Francisco Police Department will also be a key partner in the transition of certain types of 911 calls to the new teams, according to the announcement."This new program can help us break the cycle that all too often keeps people going in and out of our emergency rooms or our jails. When the Street Crisis Response Team responds to a call for someone in crisis, theyll be able to help with compassion and clinical skills to get people the care and support they need," said Breed. "The SCRT is an important first step in our long-term effort to change how we respond to people suffering on our streets."
