HONG KONG—Local officials in the Chinese city of Wuhan, the original center of the Covid-19 pandemic, are scrambling to meet government demands for a massive round of coronavirus testing following the discovery of a new cluster of infections. The orders came after six residents of a residential compound in western Wuhan were confirmed infected with the coronavirus over the weekend, ending a 35-day streak without any new cases. The discovery led to the firing of a local official in charge of the neighborhood.
