The British government announced fresh steps Tuesday to try and stop a coronavirus surge in England, as the World Health Organization warned that new cases worldwide soared to almost two million last week in a grim new record.

The pandemic is showing no signs of abating — more than 31.3 million infections have been detected globally, with 965,000 deaths — and nations are scrambling to contain new outbreaks.

Britain also put on hold plans to allow the phased return of fans to sporting venues in England from October 1. The Nobel award ceremony in Stockholm has been cancelled for the first time since 1944 and will be replaced by a televised event, the Nobel Foundation said. The Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in December will also be scaled back this year, the head of the Nobel Institute said.

Overall, the US accounts for four percent of the world’s population and 20 percent of its coronavirus deaths. Until a vaccine is available, the options for treatment available to the less privileged are limited.
