A Fernandina Beach woman who coughed on and then threatened another shopper inside a Jacksonville Pier 1 Imports was sentenced to 30 days in jail Thursday, followed by six months of probation.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti told that anecdote Wednesday as California reversed its economic reopening for much of the state in the wake of a resurgent COVID-19 outbreak. For the two-week period that ended last Monday, Californias confirmed coronavirus cases increased 45% to nearly a quarter-million and hospitalizations increased 52% to 5,077. Newsom's order affects Los Angeles and 18 other counties where nearly three-quarters of the states roughly 40 million people live. In Los Angeles County, Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said many outbreaks were linked to parties and gatherings of family and friends. Newsoms order applies to 19 counties that have been on the states watch list for increasing coronavirus cases for at least three consecutive days.

Scott Olson/Getty Images(CNN) - Pier 1 Imports is closing a dozen more stores than originally planned as struggles mount for the retailer. Pier 1 also said it's closing 12 more stores this year. If the company's turnaround plan doesn't work, it could close even more stores, said Interim CEO Cheryl Bachelder on an earnings call Wednesday. Pier 1 has 967 stores remaining. The company lost its previous CEO, Alasdair James, last December after his turnaround plan failed.
