Wuhan reports first coronavirus cluster since lockdown was lifted amid fears of a resurgence of the disease
...
Wuhan reported five new confirmed cases, all of whom live in the same residential compound. One of them was the wife of an 89-year-old male patient reported a day earlier in the first confirmed case in the city in more than a month.

One of the three cases confirmed in the Jilin province on May 10 was from Shulan.
The other two were from the city of Jilin uncovered through contact tracing of people who were in contact with earlier Shulan cases.
Nearby Liaoning and Heilongjiang provinces each reported one case, ....
