Korea ranked fourth on the list of the best countries to live in the era of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) published by Bloomberg News on the 24th (local time).

Bloomberg evaluated 10 indicators, including the number of confirmed deaths and by population, the number of vaccine supply contracts, testing capabilities, and mobility restrictions over the past month, targeting 53 countries with an economy of more than $ 200. billion (approximately 221.5 trillion won). Based on the results, the ‘Crown Recovery Ranking 19’ was announced that day.

As a result, Korea (82.3 points) ranked fourth with a high score in the sense that it effectively carried out the Corona 19 test and epidemiological investigation. It was also positively assessed that the company used a self-developed diagnostic kit and operated a self-service examination center within weeks of the Corona 19 outbreak.

New Zealand (85.4 points) ranked first in the rapid and decisive response assessment.

New Zealand imposed a blockade on March 26, before the death of Corona 19, and quickly controlled the borders despite the high dependence on the tourism industry, Bloomberg explained. It was also appreciated that New Zealand decided to supply a vaccine that is being developed by Pfizer, an American pharmaceutical company, and Bioentech, Germany.

The second place was Japan (85 points). Although the population is over 120 million, there are only 331 seriously ill patients with Corona 19, and Bloomberg estimates that they coped well with Corona 19 without adopting a lockdown. The Japanese, who trust each other and comply with policies, gave high marks for taking the initiative in wearing masks and avoiding crowded places.

Third place was Taiwan (82.9 points), which quickly monitored entry and exit after the corona 19 outbreak in China in December last year, and an app reporting mask inventory and patient movement was also introduced. confirmed. Bloomberg added that there have been no confirmed cases in Taiwan for more than 200 days.

Peru (51st, 41.6 points), Argentina (52nd, 41.1 points) and Mexico (53rd, 37.6 points) were selected last. Major European countries such as Italy (40 and 54.2 points), Spain (41 and 54.2 points), France (45 and 51.6 points) and Belgium (50 and 45.6 points) also received poor ratings.
