An administration official tells the Associated Press the federal government aims to ship 100 million tests to states over the next several weeks. The move to dramatically expand testing comes just five weeks before the November elections as Trump continues to face criticism for his handling of the coronavirus. The rapid tests from Abbott laboratories can be used outside of medical facilities. But experts warn they are less accurate and harder to track than older laboratory tests.<\/p>\n<p>SAN FRANCISCO (AP) \u2014 Northern California\u2019s wine country was on fire again as strong winds fanned flames in the already scorched region, prompting evacuation orders involving more than 50,000 people. Residents of the Oakmont Gardens assisted living home in Santa Rosa boarded brightly lit city buses overnight, some wearing bathrobes and using walkers. The Adventist Health St. Helena hospital suspended care and transferred all patients elsewhere. The fires that began Sunday in the famed Napa-Sonoma wine country north of San Francisco came on the third anniversary of deadly wildfires that erupted in 2017, including one that killed 22 people.<\/p>\n<p>GENEVA (AP) \u2014 The World Health Organization and partners have agreed to a plan to roll out 120 million rapid-diagnostic tests for the coronavirus to help lower- and middle-income countries make up ground in a testing gap with richer countries. But it&#8217;s not fully funded yet. WHO last week issued an emergency-use listing for the antigen-based rapid diagnostic tests in the program. The program initially requires $600 million for tests priced at $5 apiece, and is to get started as early as next month to provide better access to areas where it\u2019s harder to reach with PCR tests that are used often in many wealthier nations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>PHILADELPHIA (AP) \u2014 A federal judge in Philadelphia has joined others around the country in ordering the U.S. Postal Service to halt recent service cuts. An agency spokesperson said after the injunction was granted Monday that he had no immediate response. Officials have previously said they would consider their legal options as injunctions were issued. Critics say the new policies are causing mail delays and threatening the integrity of the presidential election. U.S. District Judge Gerald McHugh Jr. says six states and District of Columbia presented \u201ccompelling evidence\u201d from the Postal Service itself that shows \u201ca pronounced increase in mail delays\u201d since July.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) \u2014 A curfew is being lifted in Louisville, Kentucky, where many people have been arrested for refusing to stop their nighttime protests after a grand jury\u2019s decision not to charge officers in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said in a statement that he decided to allow the curfew to expire as of 6:30 a.m. Monday. Meanwhile, a state lawmaker says she will propose changing Kentucky&#8217;s legal definition of rioting after Democratic state Rep. Attica Scott was charged with a felony rioting count while participating in Louisville protests for racial justice. Taylor was shot multiple times March 13 when police entered her home during a narcotics raid.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ANNISTON, Ala. (AP) \u2014 An Alabama city has removed a 115-year-old Confederate monument following a vote by city leaders. Workers with the city of Anniston removed the stone obelisk from the grassy median of a busy avenue late Sunday. The City Council voted earlier this month to take down the monument to Confederate artillery officer John Pelham. The memorial was erected in 1905. Leaders say it will be taken to a Confederate history park. The removal comes during a national reckoning over Confederate symbols that followed the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CONCORD, N.H (AP) \u2014 A federal jury has found a self-proclaimed white nationalist guilty of threatening to rape the wife of a man who was part of a racist group he felt was harassing and bullying him. Christopher Cantwell is a New Hampshire resident and radio host who became known after participating in a deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The jury found Cantwell guilty Monday of two of the three charges. He was found guilty of extortion and threatening to injure property or reputation, but not guilty of cyberstalking. He faces up to 22 years in prison. Cantwell did not appear to show any visible reaction to the verdict. His defense team declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; TONIGHT&#8230; Mostly cloudy.
