SAN FRANCISCO, CA — As the weekend wraps up, we've rounded up all the stories you may have missed on Saturday and Sunday to prepare you for Monday. But before we jump into Northern California's top stories, Golden State residents should know that after months of unofficially campaign efforts and build-up, California released an official list of the 41 candidates that will appear on September's recall election ballot to unseat Gov. Gavin Newsom. The number of candidates pales in comparison to the state's last gubernatorial recall election in 2003 when more than 100 candidates stepped up to run against the governor. Read more about that and see the full list here. What's more, coronavirus cases in California are on the rise again and Los Angeles became the first county in the state to reinstate a mask mandate indoors. The state's positivity rate crept up to 3.7 percent this week, a 1.3 percent increase from one week ago.
