While not a reopening, China has eased some of its coronavirus restrictions including shortening quarantines by two days for close contacts of people infected with coronavirus and removing a penalty for airlines for bringing in too many people infected with coronavirus.  The easing of restrictions comes even as China experiences a surge in new cases.  1,209 new daily coronavirus cases were reported today.  While lower than the 1,346 new cases reported two days ago, this marks only the third time since April 30th that over 1,000 new daily cases have been reported (each of the last three days have now seen over 1,000 new cases reported).
