L.A. Extends Lockdown for 3 Months as Cal State Cancels In-Person Fall Classes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles County's top public health official said Tuesday
stay-at-home orders will be extended for the next three months. At least
1,300 deaths in L.A. have been linked to COVID-19.

California State University's president on Tuesday announced plans to
cancel most in-person classes during the fall semester, with instruction
moved online. With its 23 campuses, Cal State is the largest four-year
college system in the United States.

In the Southwest, Doctors Without Borders has sent a team of medical
workers to the Navajo Nation, where over 100 people have died of
COVID-19. It's the first time the humanitarian aid group has deployed
inside United States territory.
