Best performance

New Zealand tops the standings on 23 November thanks to their swift and decisive action.

The small island nation began action on March 26 before a single Covid-19-related death occurred, closing its borders despite the economy’s heavy reliance on tourism.

Atypical cases and surprises

Bloomberg’s Covid Resilience Rankings exposes some uncomfortable truths for countries that were once considered the most advanced in the world.

As of November 23, major European countries such as Great Britain and France are in the bottom half of the list.

Argentina, penultimate in the standings

Advanced economies, such as the United States and Germany, quickly allocated billions of dollars to improve their screening capacity, study possible treatments, and improve the capacity of the health system.

These advantages do not exist in Latin America, the region most devastated by the pandemic, where all countries are halfway. Argentina and Mexico are respectively second to last and last on the list.
