Bahrain: World’s second-best country in COVID Recovery
Bahrain is the world’s second-best country on the latest edition of Nikkei’s COVID-19 Recovery Index for September, as the Kingdom continues to rise in the rankings, marking great improvements and consolidating its achievements in confronting the pandemic and returning to a normal way of life.
The index assesses 121 countries and regions in terms of COVID recovery by calculating a score between 0 and 90 based on nine factors divided into three categories: infection management, vaccine rollouts, and mobility. The higher the ranking, the closer a country is to recovery — with low infections, higher inoculation rates and less strict social distancing measures.
Bahrain scored 72%, only one point behind Malta, the top scorer, ahead of the United Arab Emirates (71%) and Saudi Arabia (70.5%).
