'come to a halt/standstill' nghĩa là dừng lại; chậm dần rồi dừng lại (có thể dừng hẳn hoặc tạm thời); đi đến bế tắc.

Ví dụ
With the spike (gia tăng số lượng) in COVID-19 cases across the Coastal Bend, the city-county public health district said our local testing efforts have come to a halt because of a lack of testing supplies.

The question of whether the rise in life expectancy will come to a halt – or possibly even be reversed (đảo ngược) – does not only stem from (xuất phát từ, bắt nguồn từ) the expected deaths of many older adults directly from the pandemic. It is also rooted in the consequences of the deteriorating (làm giảm) quality of life of older adults who are required to be isolated during and after the crisis. This might shorten their lives even more than the disease itself.

Even in the midst of a pandemic and a lockdown, education cannot come to a halt. Across the country higher education institutions have conducted online classes and even online exams for their students. Recall that hundreds of students from Goa who were studying elsewhere in the country returned to their homes in March, but their classes did not abruptly stop. They continued to learn from home via online classes and some even managed to answer the theoretical exams from their homes. Practical exams of course would require that the students be present in the institution along with the teachers, which at the current time and situation is not advisable.
