Authorities said they tested 5,803 people working at the market on Saturday alone — all were negative for the coronavirus — as well as 2,383 samples taken from surfaces within the market. Those who have been in contact with the market or people who have contacted the market since May 30 have been asked by municipal authorities to voluntarily submit themselves to a nucleic acid exam.

Lockdown measures, which had been rapidly easing up before the cluster of cases was discovered in Beijing, are now partially returning.

It’s 57 cases NPR!First it was 36, you say 42 n now 57! Multiply that by 10000x n get a conservative I’m appalled how Greece opened it’s airports 4 China 2 fly in n other countries r still on Blacklist like UK Canada USA where Greeks need 2 get back 2 their homes n fams!

Watchdogsniffer 'On top of the 42 cases, authorities have discovered at least 48 asymptomatic cases of the coronavirus linked to the market, meaning the people carrying the virus have yet to show symptoms.' US is not prepared for any re-openings with this type of thorough follow-up. Best of luck

Just send them to Texas. We won't even notice the increase. AND they can go out for BBQ!
