"A Midwestern surge: Coronavirus cases have soared in the Midwest even as cases are largely falling across the South, the Northeast and the West, as these Times charts show. The Midwestern surge is partly the result of young adults getting sick on college campuses. Cases have also been linked to a motorcycle rally in Sturgis, S.D., last month and to a jail in Wichita, Kan.

In other virus news:

• Restaurants, hospitals and workplaces have started using contact-free thermometers and scanners to take visitors’ temperatures. But experts say those measures are unlikely to detect asymptomatic carriers.

• Israel is heading back into a nationwide lockdown for at least three weeks starting on Friday, just before the Jewish New Year.

• Outside Las Vegas last night, Trump held an indoor campaign rally for the first time since late June. Health officials blamed that June event, in Tulsa, Okla., for an increase in local virus cases."
