The authors of the study state that the ratings are based on a multitude of medical, economic, and political factors, which include the following:

How well the central government and local governments cooperate, how well the system for monitoring and detection is developed, how vulnerable the country’s economy is due to the problems caused by the pandemic, how strong the medical system is, and how well-equipped the country is to handle any emergency situation caused by it.
