Text of the page (random words):
its score see full country profile overall index score 79 1 finland clear fact based communications a generous stimulus package and substantial improvements in public health policy in the past few months have been instrumental factors in finland s strong and much improved covid 19 response see full country profile overall index score 78 saudi arabia saudi arabia has a relatively strong policy response to covid 19 with a reliance on facts and science and tight restrictions on public gatherings although its weak financial response brings its score down see full country profile overall index score 73 3 taiwan taiwan has a relatively strong policy score but its minimal stimulus and weak debt relief bring it down however the data does not accurately measure its advanced contact tracing which may have diminished the need for more restrictions this likely results in a score that underestimates taiwan s response see full country profile overall index score 72 7 japan japan has a strong overall score driven by its generous financial response and a reliance on facts although its public health policy is very weak see full country profile overall index score 72 5 france france maintained its improved public health policy from the early fall keeping its score relatively strong although poor contact tracing and a relatively small stimulus package kept it from being higher see full country profile overall index score 72 2 kenya kenya has a strong overall policy score although down significantly from january however it is consistently scoring well in all areas particularly its reliance with respect to facts and science on covid 19 see full country profile overall index score 71 7 belgium belgium has a relative strong score with its generous income support and strong testing and contact tracing countered by limited public health directives see full country profile overall index score 71 5 south africa overall south africa s score is relatively strong with vigorous policy implementation particularly with respect to lockdowns offset by its relatively meager financial response see full country profile overall index score 65 9 argentina argentina s strong policy score is mainly due to its strong political response characterized by clear fact based communication and regular press briefings by president fernandez see full country profile overall index score 63 3 canada canada has a relatively strong score with poor public health policy countered by a continued reliance on fact based communication see full country profile overall index score 62 4 ethiopia despite having relatively weak pre pandemic capacity swift action and prevention based messaging from the government helped mitigate spread early on in the crisis see full country profile overall index score 62 south korea south korea has a relatively strong score brought down some by its very weak financial policy its public health score is likely underestimated here given the data s limitations to adequately account for the impacts of the country s advanced contact tracing see full country profile overall index score 61 germany germany has improved its score a bit in the past few months after a sharp decline in the fall its improvements in contact tracing which are already likely underestimated in the data and restrictions on public gatherings have played important roles in this turnaround although there has been a recent spike in cases likely due to both recent restriction relaxations and vaccine rollout issues see full country profile overall index score 60 8 sweden despite being known for a relatively strong public healthcare system sweden has been hit hard with cases the country s lack of stay at home orders and school closures limited testing and few gathering restrictions overshadowed its financial support reliance on facts and accountability with an open press see full country profile overall index score 55 9 united kingdom the u k scored near the median for overall policy due to a relatively strong financial policy although its weak initial lockdown hurt its score the new strain is causing a huge uptick in cases resulting in stricter lockdowns see full country profile overall index score 51 9 hungary hungary scores above the median but limited testing efforts to limit press freedom and a very weak stimulus package have weakened its score over time see full country profile overall index score 51 7 india india scores just above the median a large drop off in recent months keyed by substantial weakening of restrictions and worsening financial support see full country profile overall index score 49 2 switzerland switzerland s reliance on facts and an open media drove its score up to the median helping to counter weak financial support and limited restrictions on social interactions see full country profile overall index score 48 6 netherlands the netherlands overall policy is now near the median a significant improvement from january driven by a stronger financial response despite its low testing levels and limited lockdown see full country profile overall index score 48 6 italy while hit hard by covid 19 italy s reliance on facts and improved contact tracing has helped slow the spread and slightly improved its overall score since january see full country profile overall index score 44 1 norway norway scores just below the median pulled down by its weak public health and financial response scores despite a strong reliance on facts and a free press see full country profile overall index score 39 2 mexico mexico s score has deteriorated over time due primarily to its extremely weak financial response and relatively weak public health policy including very limited testing see full country profile overall index score 38 3 indonesia indonesia scores relatively weakly a big drop in the past few months keyed by substantial weakening of travel restrictions testing policy and debt relief see full country profile overall index score 37 8 brazil brazil has a relatively weak score primarily due to its poor public health policies especially its very low levels of testing coupled with president bolsonaro s spreading of misinformation about the virus see full country profile overall index score 37 3 russia russia has a relatively weak score with strong public health policy undone by weak financial support limitations on press freedom and spread of misinformation about the pandemic see full country profile overall index score 32 8 china china s aggressive lockdowns played a key role in controlling case and death rates however its low score is driven by multiple factors including the country s minimal financial response and lack of press freedom and fact based communications china s failure to report testing obscures understanding of actual covid 19 dynamics within the country see full country profile overall index score 31 3 spain spain s score jumped since january to just over the median having implemented stricter public health policies but the country s minimal stimulus support still drags down its overall score see full country profile overall index score 19 9 united states still battling widespread covid 19 cases and deaths which were exacerbated by the former administration s limited use of facts and science limited emergency healthcare spending and limited debt relief the biden administration by contrast is taking aggressive action to combat the virus although it may take time for the score to reflect these changes see full country profile overall index score 14 6 turkey turkey has very weak policy driven by little emergency spending stimulus or debt relief and loosening restrictions it also has limited press freedom and has conducted minimal testing see full country profile overall index score 0 iran iran has a very weak policy score due largely to very weak public health policy driven by a severe lack of testing and substantial misinformation and press limitations by the national authorities see full country profile countries combating another wave of covid 19 as case numbers rise and variants spread the latest round of data on covid 19 cases and reopening of some economies illustrates a key point the world is still facing challenges with covid 19 and many countries have had to re impose restrictions to contain further spread as expected cases rose in many of the pandemic s worst hit countries throughout the winter months as more people stayed indoors many countries particularly in europe may have entered a third wave of the pandemic as the new variants of the virus spread globally while countries with higher index scores continue to have generally managed cases more effectively even they have seen increases in the virus within their borders several mutations of the virus the three most prominent ones having emerged from the u k b 1 1 7 south africa b 1 351 and brazil p 1 have been complicating covid 19 management just as vaccines are rolling out and though more testing is needed several of the vaccines appear to be less effective against these variants the covid 19 global response index country scores do not incorporate vaccine rollout data as it is too preliminary fpa s analysis and comparative data on the vaccine rollout can be found here while still in the early stages of vaccine deployments the last year of covid 19 has taught us that countries whose leaders take rapid action target policies and advance science based communications are among those most effectively managing spread this responsiveness remains critical as more contagious variants spread across the globe and push many healthcare systems closer to the brink vaccine rollout of countries in the covid 19 index colors are associated with each country s overall index score key takeaways 1 year into the covid 19 pandemic findings from the index and supplementary research indicate crisis preparation and planning enabled rapid response notably in africa asia planning and preparation for health related crises have enabled rapid response and covid 19 containment notably lessons learned from h1n1 and ebola have informed crisis planning and preparedness in australia ghana kenya senegal and taiwan among the highest performers in the index early investment in emergency healthcare cushioned impact early investment and strategic stockpiles of medical supplies and personal protective equipment have helped enable healthcare response notably in iceland new zealand and russia targeted comprehensive policies produced better outcomes strong health care capacity pre pandemic was not necessarily indicative of outcomes but preparation targeted testing and quick action have had impacts for example sweden and neighboring denmark both have extremely strong health capacity but denmark s public health and financial policies related to the pandemic resulted in covid 19 having a much lower impact there than sweden taken further senegal with much weaker capacity but much stronger policies in terms of health directives financial support and communication as compared with sweden performed even better in limiting covid 19 s impact in country contextual information contained in each of the index s country profiles enriches our understanding of each of these countries and will continue to inform and augment our analysis as additional data becomes available testing and contact tracing have been game changers contact tracing has been key to managing the crisis notably in taiwan and south korea though data regarding the degree of tracing and efficacy is not yet sufficient or differentiated to reflect the importance and positive impact of these measures in the case of taiwan utilization of data and analytics has enabled the country to effectively manage the crisis and avoid strict lockdowns widespread availability of testing has also enabled countries to quickly identify new outbreak clusters and effectively implement quarantine protocols to prevent spread given data limitations with respect to contact tracing taiwan s and south korea s successes are not adequately captured in the index but both are notable leaders in this regard and in overall management of the pandemic several countries that employed advanced and aggressive contact tracing or other measures mitigated their need to implement other major covid 19 specific policies as seen in their low case rates the index adjusts for these outliers please refer to the methodology for further detail clear policy directives matter countries socio economic and health security and investment to those ends strengthen capacity to respond but are insufficient to manage the crisis clear healthcare and financial directives and early targeted actions seem to have significantly impacted outcomes in many of the highest scoring countries notably denmark iceland new zealand taiwan finland and australia restrictions on gatherings have helped mitigate coronavirus spread seen notably in belgium denmark japan switzerland turkey and the united kingdom serious restrictions helped all these countries reverse skyrocketing case rates close coordination with state and regional governments is key smaller countries notably island nations have some natural advantages managing spread as compared with larger more populous nations and those with decentralized forms of government face exceptional challenges of policy coordination and execution in these latter cases close coordination and clear communication among federal state and regional entities have been critical to resource allocation and policy directive implementation notably in australia and canada overall funding and the structure of financial support mechanisms matter financial support to companies enabling them to keep workers on the payroll and relatively strong worker wage support have helped to mitigate covid 19 s economic fallout notably in denmark iceland new zealand saudi arabia and switzerland these countries took both assertive action on the public health response and also passed considerable economic support to mitigate economic shocks elevating their scores overall misinformation and press limitations are associated with poor covid 19 related outcomes while not causal the majority of countries whose leaders have engaged in the spread of misinformation and have limited press freedom with respect to covid 19 were among those with the highest case rates notably the u s iran hungary brazil mexico and the u k challenges with data from china while china scores near the top in terms of covid 19 status having relatively low case and death rates as reported by the central government it scores near the bottom in the index in terms of policy failure of chinese authorities to consistently report data on key metrics such as testing as compared with other countries as well as limited transparency on other metrics results in data gaps contributing to a low overall policy score the gap is exacerbated by china scoring particularly low on the fact based communications measure which inc...
