A person who is unware will need to reset the circuit breaker and test each lever to see what trips the circuit breaker.
Once you know which faulty appliance or which faulty socket causes the trip, do you continue using the faulty appliance or that faulty socket?

take the example of a restaurant that is soon to reopen. we know the virus is circulating among the asymptomatic. As people congregate in large areas, then community transmission may occur. an employee at said restaurant tests positive for the virus. What happens next? rely on contract tracing until we cant and then?
another CB?

China races to prevent COVID-19 second wave

BEIJING: China imposed travel restrictions on nearly half a million people near its capital on Thursday (Jun 18) to contain a fresh coronavirus outbreak as deaths surged in other parts of the world.
The threat of a second wave hitting China, which had largely brought the virus under control, and rising tolls in Latin America and South Asia underscore the global challenge in slowing down the pandemic that has killed more than 450,000 people.
The world economy has also taken a hit, with the US Labor Department saying another 1.5 million American workers filed for unemployment benefits last week, bringing the number of people laid off, at least temporarily, by COVID-19 to 45.7 million.
With scientists around the globe racing to find a vaccine, the World Health Organization said it hoped that a few hundred million COVID-19 vaccine doses could be produced this year, and two billion by the end of 2021.

"If we're very lucky, there will be one or two successful candidates before the end of this year," WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan said, adding that priority would be given to key workers and vulnerable people.
MACRON'S FIRST TRIP
Europe, meanwhile, saw further restrictions lifted after months of confinement, with the restart of English Premier League games on Wednesday adding to a sense of a return to normality - albeit with empty stadiums.
French President Emmanuel Macron made his first overseas trip since the outbreak began, visiting London to mark the 80th anniversary of a wartime speech by General Charles de Gaulle.
Macron greeted Prime Minister Boris Johnson by pressing his palms together in a "namaste" gesture and the leaders upheld the two-metre social distancing rule as they posed for pictures.

Elsewhere in London, the Bank of England unveiled an extra £100 billion (US$126 billion) of cash stimulus to prop up Britain's coronavirus-hit economy.
The Spanish government announced a 4.2 billion euro (US$4.7 billion) package to help the battered tourism sector, including a campaign to promote the country as a "safe" destination after the virus devastation.
'UNDER CONTROL'
China was back in containment mode after previously lifting huge lockdowns that had confined tens of millions to their homes.
Another 21 cases of the virus were reported in the past 24 hours in Beijing, taking the total to 158 since a fresh cluster was detected last week after months of no confirmed local transmissions.
One case was also recorded in the neighbouring city of Tianjin and two more in Hebei province - which surrounds Beijing - prompting travel restrictions on Anxin county, home to nearly half a million people, banning most traffic going in and out of the area.
The latest outbreak started in Beijing's sprawling Xinfadi wholesale market, which supplies more than 70 per cent of the city's fresh produce.

Beijing authorities have urged people not to leave the city, closed schools again and locked down around 30 residential compounds to stamp out the virus, which emerged in the central city of Wuhan late last year.

Wu Zunyou, chief epidemiology expert at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters that the new outbreak had been "brought under control".
"That doesn't mean there will be no patient report tomorrow," he warned.

In the United States, the world's most affected country, the number of daily deaths dropped below 1,000 for a seventh day in a row but the number of new infections has plateaued at around 20,000 per day.
More than a dozen states are recording their highest number of new COVID-19 cases since the beginning of the pandemic.
Brazil, second to the US, reported another 1,269 deaths on Wednesday as its overall toll rose above 46,500.

China says Beijing coronavirus outbreak is under control

China has declared a coronavirus outbreak in Beijing under control after confirming 25 new cases among tests of about 360,000 people.
Key points:
A Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) official said the number of cases was expected to fall soon in an outbreak centred on Beijing's main wholesale market.
So far, Beijing has confirmed 183 new cases over the past week, including 25 new cases on Friday, up by four from Thursday (local time).
The 25 new cases reported on Friday were among 32 nationwide in China, four of them were returned residents from overseas.
Wu Zunyou, from the CDCP, said such outbreaks were inevitable but daily numbers should soon begin to decline.
He stressed that prevention measures should not be slacked.
A city transport spokesman said bus services between Beijing and other provinces would be suspended from Friday to try to prevent the outbreak's spread.

School classes in the city have also been suspended and plans to restart sports and other events are on hold.
More than 360,000 tests for the virus have been carried out in recent days, according to city health authorities.
A health official said the outbreak spread from Beijing's main wholesale Xinfadi market, which has raised worries infections might have come from imported fish or sea products.
But a customs administration notice said nationwide testing for coronavirus in food imports were all negative.
Beijing genome data
In the latest Beijing outbreak, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Sunday it had been informed by China of ongoing investigations into the source of the cluster and the extent of the infections. It requested the genetic sequences of the virus be released as soon as possible.
The genome sequencing was published late on Thursday and was also shared with the WHO and the Global Influenza Data Initiative (GISAID).
Virus genome sequencing is a vital and rapidly developing tool in the diagnosis of COVID-19 and in understanding the spread and control of the coronavirus.
Details published on China's National Microbiology Data Centre website revealed the Beijing genome data was based on three samples — two human and one environmental — collected on June 11.
That was the same day the Chinese capital reported its first new local COVID-19 infection in months.

Hebei: China locks down 400,000 people after virus spike near Beijing
China has reinstated a strict lockdown near Beijing, affecting around 400,000 people, after a small surge in cases.
The restrictions have come into force in Anxin county in Hebei province near the capital.
After the pandemic emerged in China at the end of last year, the country has managed to get new infections to a consistently low level.
To avoid a second wave, even small surges are taken very seriously by the country's health authorities.
What is happening in Hebei?
Officials announced on Sunday that Anxin would be "fully enclosed and controlled".
Only essential workers are allowed to leave their homes, while one member of a household is allowed to go out once a day to shop for necessities.
No non-residents residents will be allowed to enter buildings, communities or villages. Authorities have warned anyone violating the rules will be punished by police.
Anxin is around 150km (90 miles) south of Beijing. Chinese media say there have been 18 cases in the county since the beginning of the recent surge in Beijing two weeks ago.
The area is not nearly as densely populated as China's large urban centres, and local health experts said they were optimistic the spread could be stopped.

What is the situation in Beijing?
China's recent numbers remain the envy of most other countries hit by the virus. Yet a recent spike in Beijing has authorities fearing a possible second wave.
Over the past 24 hours, Beijing reported 14 new cases of the virus, taking the total since a mid-June outbreak in a food market to 311.
While this is a small number compared with the thousands of daily cases in the US or South America, China reacted quickly to contain any spread.
Several neighbourhoods in Beijing were put under restrictions, travel was limited, and a massive wave of fresh testing was rolled out.
Before the recent spike, the Chinese capital had gone 57 days without a locally-transmitted case.
Media captionIs China being bolder in the wake of the pandemic?How is the rest of China dealing with the virus?
In general, China has successfully "flattened the curve" in recent months.
After passing 80,000 confirmed cases at the start of March, it has added only around 4,700 since then.
Since mid-June, new infections have been mostly limited to Beijing with some spill over into neighbouring Hebei.
The rest of China has seen only a small trickle of single-digit infections, most of which were imported cases, which means travellers returning from abroad.
