3:52Now PlayingWinter and the long-anticipated rollout of coronavirus vaccines triggered some surprising shifts in Bloomberg’s Covid Resilience Ranking, a measure of the best places to be in the Covid-19 era.
Each month, we crunch the numbers to get a snapshot of where the virus is being handled the most effectively with the least social and economic disruption.
New Zealand—with its closed borders, vaccine deals and elimination of the virus in the community—remains No. 1 in December, with Taiwan edging into second place as the onset of cold weather challenges previously top-ranked places like Japan and South Korea.
The winter wave’s ferocity is testing their approach of trying to tame Covid-19 without locking down. Japan—No. 2 in November—Korea and Sweden have all fallen in the Ranking as people’s migration indoors fuels the virus’s spread, putting pressure on their long-standing strategies of suppressing the pathogen with minimal disruption. Lauded for its early focus on testing and cutting-edge contact tracing, Korea is trying to avoid imposing its toughest curbs yet.
