More coronavirus relief is likely in store, though, as congress works on another round of loans under the Paycheck Protection Program, known as PPP. NPR member station KPCC in Los Angeles mapped where loans were given out in San Diego and KPBS investigative reporter Amita Sharma found that businesses south of Interstate 8 had a tough time getting any money in the first round of PPP loans.
