According to the country comparison of the London Deep Knowledge Group (DKG), in many countries, people fear for their lives and their economic existence during the corona crisis yet those who live in Germany are comparatively well positioned.

According to a DKG ranking, the Germany is currently the safest and most stable country in Europe and even the second safest in the world. Only Israel manages the crisis better, according to the group. Turkey is found at position 36 (of 40).

According to the report, which also examined the efficiency of governments in dealing with the coronavirus crisis, Germany is the first European country and the only European Union member to enter the top 10. Germany is followed by South Korea, Australia and China. 

Deep Knowledge Group has developed advanced analytical frameworks to analyze this data. The results are presented in the form of open source country rankings to help people and governments make informed decisions that maximize beneficial outcomes for humanity.

Data for over 200 countries was analyzed and 40 countries were ultimately included in the rankings.

The countries were evaluated using 24 specific parameters in 4 distinct categories: Quarantine Efficiency, Government Management Efficiency, Monitoring and Detection, and Emergency Treatment Readiness.

The COVID-19 Risk Ranking Framework conducts benchmarking of countries according to their levels of risk according to a variety of medical and non-medical factors, including risk of infection, hospitalization, death and lasting health conditions, as well as the country’s risk of negative economic, quality-of-life and geopolitical issues resulting from the pandemic. 

In this ranking, Italy sadly leads the list of the first 10 countries with highest risk, followed by the US, UK, Spain, France, Sweden, Iran, Ecuador, Philippines and Romania.
