Have any cities which were previously "hotspots" seen any recurring spikes since?

Especially places that had earlier epidemics than the United States
i.e. Wuhan, Barcelona etc

Barcelona had a bump recently but nowhere near the first wave.

And those second waves are way less deadly since the weakest and most vulnerable already got it and passed away.
