U.K. Delays Reopening as Moscow Sees New Surge in Cases; India Moves to Reopen as Infections Drop
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Officials in the United Kingdom are delaying the country's reopening for
another four weeks to enable more people to get vaccinated amid a rise
in cases linked to the Delta coronavirus variant.

In Russia, the mayor of Moscow has ordered nonessential workers to stay
home this week as the city registered a six-month high in cases.

Meanwhile, in India, many areas are relaxing coronavirus restrictions,
including in the capital New Delhi, as new cases drop after the
devastating spring surge. Experts are warning against a premature
reopening, though, as just 5% of the adult population has been fully
vaccinated.
