U.K. Cases Soar Most in the World; SE Asia Reels: Virus Update Bloomberg 11 mins ago Bloomberg News (Bloomberg) -- Covid-19 cases in the U.K. rose the most in the world as Boris Johnson’s plan to get England back to normal falls into disarray amid a public outcry over the prime minister’s perceived attempt to dodge isolation rules. U.S. infections surged more than 60% for the week ended Sunday, outpacing a 16% global rise in cases. Southeast Asia continues to reel from a fresh wave of the virus, with Singapore reporting cases at an 11-month high. Indonesia surpassed India and Brazil in daily case numbers, marking a new global virus epicenter as the spread of the highly-contagious delta variant drives up infections in Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
