HONG KONG—China says it has ended a coronavirus outbreak in Beijing that it has been battling since mid-June, even as it deployed its so-called wartime-mode measures to a new cluster in the country’s remote northwest. The Chinese capital marked 14 days with no new locally transmitted cases on Monday, signaling the end of an outbreak the city had been battling since mid-June. Beijing officials lowered the city’s emergency response level to three, the second-lowest level, on Sunday.
