a Nova Zelândia lidera o índice de resposta ao coronavírus
January 28, 2021 - A nova Zelândia conseguiu gerir a crise da Covid-19 com mais eficácia que qualquer outro país do mundo, segundo uma análise da resposta ao coronavírus em quase 100 países.
Researchers from leading Australian think tank the Lowy Institute tracked Covid-19 case numbers in each country, as well as confirmed deaths and testing rates.
Aside from New Zealand, countries such as Thailand, Cyprus, Rwanda, Iceland, Australia, Latvia and Sri Lanka also made it into the top 10 as a result of their responses to the pandemic.
Brazil was in last place, closely followed by Mexico, Colombia, Iran and the United States.
The Lowy Institute said its index published on Thursday excludes China, where the first coronavirus cases were identified in December 2019, due to lack of publicly available data on testing.
