Switzerland the safest country in terms of Corona

Switzerland and Germany are currently the safest countries in the world when it comes to corona virus. This is the conclusion of a 250-page report by the Deep Knowledge Group. The U.S.A., on the other hand, is in 58^th place, just behind Romania and two places ahead of Russia.

According to the Forbes business magazine,  the report is based on 130 quantitative and qualitative parameters and over 11,000 data points in categories such as quarantine efficiency, monitoring and state efficiency. The source is the deep knowledge group, which is owned by the Hong Kong-based investment firm Deep Knowledge Ventures.

The reasons for the good performance in the Corona crisis in the longer term are mainly stable economies, such as Switzerland and Germany, as well as the careful unlocking process.

It should be noted, however, that this report is only a risk assessment carried out by a company, and that risks may vary within a country. Click here for the full study.
