On a 250 page long report filed recently, 200 countries have been studied for assessing the safety and risk involved in handling the Covid-19 cases. The safety assessment report was originally created by the Deep Knowledge Report, an investment firm located in Hong Kong and established in 2014.
India has ranked 56th among these 200 nations on the safety assessment program, is the second most high-risk countries in the three tiers, according to the Deep Knowledge Group.
The 20 safest countries are listed on the first tier section of tackling COVID -19, on the other hand, the fourth tier comprises the riskiest countries, recording the highest number of cases and deaths. Switzerland has been positioned among the safest nations worldwide to be declared free from the deadly coronavirus pandemic. After Switzerland, Germany, Israel, Singapore, Japan, Austria, China, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea are the top ten nations that have been declared free from the life-threatening virus. On the other hand, South Sudan has been ranked as the riskiest and deadly nation in terms of the coronavirus spread, it has been given the 200th rank.
The United States of America which recorded the highest number of positive cases and reported deaths, now falls two ranks below India, in the assessment list. However, in terms of combating the disease, India has recorded more than 2.76 active cases but has progressed a lot better than countries like France, Russia, UK, South Africa and Brazil. Pakistan has procured 148th rank among the 200 countries, according to the list. While China has been positioned at number 7 with a record of 717.
"Switzerland and Germany achieve the #1 and #2 positions in this new special case study specifically because of their economy's resilience, and due to the careful ways in which they are attempting to relax lockdown and economic freezing mandates in a fact and science-based manner, without sacrificing public health and safety," the report read.
The report was issued on 4 June 2020 where it used around 130 qualitative and quantitative measures with 11,400 points of data to make an index scanning, "health, societal and economic status of each region in terms of their absolute and relative stability, safety and risk".
The analysis was originally conducted with the notion of achieving "action-based answers" through which the government will be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of nations in terms of dealing with the pandemic.
