Coronavirus is a terrifying enemy that nearly every country is battling to fight. The deadly virus pandemic has so far tragically killed 147,337 people. However, not all countries are managing the crisis as well as others.
Israel currently has 12,855 cases of coronavirus but is currently handling the crisis the best thanks to its experience, according to DKG.
The Middle Eastern country scored the highest for government management efficiency and gained a total score of 632.32.
Very close behind Israel was Germany as the second safest country in the world.
In fact, Germany scored higher than Israel for emergency treatment readiness and monitoring and detection.

Germany was also named as the safest country in Europe.
“Compared to other countries, Germany currently has the best security and stability ranking in Europe and is also one of the leading nations worldwide in terms of crisis management,” data expert Dimitry Kaminsky, founder of DKG, said.
“In view of the high number of infections it had at the beginning, Germany was extremely efficient and has successfully stopped the disease from spreading further without reaching the level of other countries – as a result, Germany will have considerable economic advantages after the pandemic.”
“Germany is doing really well as a country with a high population,” Anastassia Lauterbach, AI and data expert and board member, added.
The remaining top 10 were taken up by New Zealand, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan and Hong Kong.
Switzerland, the second safest country in Europe, just missed out at eleventh place.
Unfortunately, according to DKG’s research, the UK didn’t feature at all in the top 40, while the USA came in seventieth place.
“We also want to use the data to show which countries we can currently learn from,” said data expert Kaminsky.
