New York City, once the coronavirus epicenter of the world, is “on track” to enter its next phase of reopening as soon as next Monday, while Beijing has been forced to raise its emergency response level as a new round of coronavirus infections in the capital worsens.

At least 137 cases have been identified in Beijing this week after months without reporting any new cases. The latest outbreak, which is centered on the Xinfadi wholesale food market, began last week. Schools have now been made to shut back down, and several neighborhoods surrounding the market have been cordoned off so that residents can’t leave. More than 1,200 flights going in and out of Beijing were canceled Wednesday.
