Bangladesh has climbed four spots into the top 20 of Bloomberg’s latest monthly COVID-19 resilience rankings.
 
The Bloomberg rankings consider 10 key metrics, including increases in the number of COVID-19 cases, overall mortality rate and testing capability. The capacity of local healthcare systems, impact of virus-related restrictions on the economy and freedom of movement are also considered.

Bangladesh performed admirably in many of the indicators, with 34 cases per 100,000, mortality rate of 1.6%, 44 deaths per million and a test positivity rate of 10.2% in the last month – all on the lower side. However, a key area where the country performed poorly was in terms of access to vaccines, where Bangladesh was given the lowest score of 5% along with several other nations.
