MICHAEL BALSAMO Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Attorney General William Barr on Monday ordered federal prosecutors across the U.S. to identify coronavirus-related restrictions from state and local governments "that could be violating the constitutional rights and civil liberties of individual citizens." The memo to U.S. attorneys directs the head of the Justice Department's civil rights division and the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan to coordinate the...
ZEKE MILLER, JILL COLVIN and JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House released new guidelines Monday aimed at answering criticism that America's coronavirus testing has been too slow, and President Donald Trump tried to pivot toward a focus on "reopening" the nation. Still, there were doubts from public health experts that the White House's new testing targets were sufficient. Monday's developments were meant to fill critical gaps in White House...
KATHLEEN RONAYNE and ADAM BEAM Associated Press SACRAMENTO (AP) - California may be only a few weeks away from making "meaningful changes" to its stay-at-home order, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday, but he warned progress will be jeopardized if people do things like crowd beaches, which occurred over the warm spring weekend. "This virus doesn't take the weekends off, this virus doesn't go home because it's a beautiful sunny day around our coasts," he said. The Democratic...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - With pressure growing to lift coronavirus restrictions, San Diego County health officials urged patience from the public today as they announced 98 more COVID-19 cases and two deaths from the illness, raising the county's totals to 3,141 cases and 113 deaths. County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said county staff is working with cities on plans to gradually open parks and businesses, but such moves would be made incrementally and cautiously. He said any city wishing to reopen will have to have specific plans... Full story
POWAY (CNS) - One year ago today, a rifle-wielding assailant burst into Chabad of Poway as the congregation was celebrating the final day of Passover and opened fire in the synagogue's foyer, killing a woman and injuring three others in an attack allegedly motivated by anti-Semitism. The survivors, bolstered by support from the global Jewish community, on Sunday paid tribute to the gunman's lone casualty. Rabbi Mendel Goldstein, son of Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein -- the congregation's rabbi at the time -- led the 40-minute...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Researchers at UC San Diego Health have found that loss of smell related to COVID-19 suggests the resulting illness is more likely to be mild to moderate, a potential early indicator that could help health care providers determine which patients may require hospitalization. The findings come in the wake of a similar study involving some of the same researchers, who found evidence linking loss of olfactory function to the novel coronavirus. "One of the immediate challenges for health care providers is to dete...

DAVID PITT Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Meat isn't going to disappear from supermarkets because of outbreaks of the coronavirus among workers at U.S. slaughterhouses. But as the meat plants struggle to remain open, consumers could face less selection and slightly higher prices. Industry leaders acknowledge that the U.S. food chain has rarely been so stressed and that no one is sure about the future, even as they try to dispel concerns about shortages. On Sunday, th...
STEFANIE DAZIO, MICHAEL R. SISAK and JAKE BLEIBERG Associated Press The new coronavirus doesn't care about a blue uniform or a shiny badge. Police, firefighters, paramedics and corrections officers are just a 911 call away from contracting COVID-19 and spreading it. With N95 masks hanging off their duty belts and disposable blue gloves stuffed in their back pockets, they respond to radio calls, make arrests and manage prisoners. But their training never covered something quite...
DAISY NGUYEN Associated Press Overcrowding at some California beaches and parks has given local officials second thoughts about keeping them open next weekend at the risk of reversing progress made in slowing the spread of the coronavirus and causing a deadly surge of cases. Officials in Newport Beach on Sunday called for a special meeting to consider shutting beaches for everybody during the next few weekends or closing roadways leading to the shoreline to keep visitors...
NICHOLAS RICCARDI and HANNAH FINGERHUT Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans' support for mail-in voting has jumped amid concerns about the safety of polling places during the coronavirus pandemic, but a wide partisan divide suggests President Donald Trump's public campaign against vote by mail may be resonating with his Republican backers. A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds Democrats are now much more likely than Republicans to support their state conducting elections e...
ELENA BECATOROS, JILL LAWLESS and NICK PERRY Associated Press LONDON (AP) — A thinner-looking British Prime Minister Boris Johnson returned to work Monday after a bout with the coronavirus and warned strongly against easing the country's lockdown, even as other European countries and U.S. states began lifting restrictions to get their economies going again. The shutdowns are being eased piecemeal, with governments charting their own path as they seek to reopen for business without triggering a second wave of infections. H...
STAN CHOE, DAMIAN J. TROISE and ALEX VEIGA AP Business Writers Stocks around the world rose Monday as governments prepare to gradually lift restrictions they imposed on businesses to slow the sweep of the coronavirus pandemic. The S&P 500 was up 1.2% in afternoon trading, at the start of a week chockablock with market-moving events. Several of the world's largest central banks are meeting, including the Bank of Japan, which announced its latest stimulus measures to prop up markets. A slew of the biggest U.S. companies are...
BILL BARROW Associated Press ATLANTA (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden renewed his party unification efforts Monday with bookend endorsements from Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the leader of the House progressive caucus that sometimes battles the speaker from the left. The twin announcements from Pelosi and Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal highlight Biden's effort to avoid a repeat of the 2016 presidential election, when tensions between establishment Democrats and...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Extreme heat is expected in the San Diego County deserts today and the triple-digits temperatures won't let up until this weekend, according to the National Weather Service. High pressure will weaken today and cause a slight dip in temperatures, but conditions will strengthen on Tuesday and bring temperatures back up through Friday, forecasters said. The NWS issued an excessive heat warning that will last until 9 p.m. Thursday in the county deserts. High temperatures today could reach 81 degrees near the...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego residents waited patiently for Monday's opening of some beaches -- with restrictions -- as the city said two homeless people at the Convention Center shelter tested positive for the coronavirus, protesters rallied in Pacific Beach, and the county announced 100 more cases. Because the county surprised so many beach cities on Friday with the sudden lifting of a ban on ocean activity, not all beaches will be opening Monday. Beaches in Carlsbad, Del...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Protesters gathered near a lifeguard station in Pacific Beach today to protest state and county stay-home orders and beach closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. About 100 people rallied with U.S. flags and protest signs next to the PB Shore Club at 4343 Ocean Blvd., most not following social distancing orders or wearing facial coverings. Two police motorcycle officers circled the area with dozens of officers patrolling on foot. The protest, dubbed "A Day of Liberty San Diego Freedom Rally,'' was...
DAVID A. LIEB and MIKE SCHNEIDER Associated Press JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - The U.S. Census Bureau needs more time to wrap up the once-a-decade count because of the coronavirus, opening the possibility of delays in drawing new legislative districts that could help determine what political party is in power, what laws pass or fail and whether communities of color get a voice in their states. The number of people counted and their demographics guide how voting districts for...
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A lingering heat wave lured people to California beaches, rivers and trails again Sunday, prompting warnings from officials that defiance of stay-at-home orders could reverse progress and bring the coronavirus surging back. Tens of thousands of people packed the sand at Newport Beach in Orange County, where residents compared weekend crowds to July 4 and lifeguards reminded people to stay apart if they were in groups of six or more. Neighboring Huntington...
ROBERT BURNS AP National Security Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — With limited supplies of coronavirus tests available, the Pentagon is focusing first on testing those performing duties deemed most vital to national security. Atop the list are the men and women who operate the nation's nuclear forces, some counterterrorism forces, and the crew of a soon-to-deploy aircraft carrier. Defense leaders hope to increase testing from the current rate of about 7,000 a day to 60,000 by June. This will enable them to test those showing s...
JOYCE M. ROSENBERG AP Business Writer NEW YORK (AP) — The billions of dollars in coronavirus relief targeted at small businesses may not prevent many of them from ending up in bankruptcy court. Business filings under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy law rose sharply in March, and attorneys who work with struggling companies are seeing signs that more owners are contemplating the possibility of bankruptcy. Companies forced to close or curtail business due to government attempts to stop the virus's spread have mounting d...
HYUNG-JIN KIM Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A train likely belonging to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been parked at his compound on the country's east coast since last week, satellite imagery showed, amid speculation about his health that has been caused, in part, by a long period out of the public eye. The satellite photos released by 38 North, a website specializing in North Korea studies, don't say anything about Kim's potential health problems, and they echo South Korean government intelligence that K...
ZEKE MILLER Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — After two months of frantic response to the coronavirus, the White House is planning to shift President Donald Trump's public focus to the burgeoning efforts aimed at easing the economic devastation caused by the pandemic. Days after he publicly mused that scientists should explore the injection of toxic disinfectants as a potential virus cure, Trump has now rejected the utility of his daily task force briefings, where he has time and again clashed with scientific experts. T...
BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer Maybe the Southeastern Conference should simply hold onto its players and become part of the NFL. The home of national champion LSU and perennial contenders Alabama, Georgia and Auburn, the SEC dominated the first four rounds of the NFL draft before the flow of talent slowed to a trickle. Or the conference finally began running out of top prospects. The top four rounds are where the vast majority of pro starters are found. So beginning with...
