EDITORIALAfter battling Covid-19 for about nine months, major parts of the world are stuck in a cycle of deja vu. The end of the coronavirus pandemic is receding further as cases in countries in Europe and the Americas climb to levels reminiscent of March. At the weekend, the world hit about 383,000 new cases in a 24-hour period, the World Health Organisation said.

More than 700,000 new cases were reported in Europe last week, up 34 per cent on the week before, the World Health Organisation reports.
