SINGAPORE - Many countries around the world are reimposing restrictions and lockdowns on their pandemic-weary populace as more contagious strains of the coronavirus accelerate the spread of Covid-19.
More than a year after the virus first emerged in China and spread across the globe, sparking lockdowns and movement curbs - and battering the economy - the pandemic has not abated despite more than 673 million vaccine doses having been administered globally. We face the biggest test of our generation, International Monetary Fund managing director Kristalina Georgiev said last week. What we do now will shape the post-crisis world.
The threat of the coronavirus is especially acute in Europe, which is reeling from spiralling cases - driven mostly by the B117 variant since summer last year - as it struggles with its vaccine drive, forcing many governments to reimpose unpopular movement curbs.
