Bahrain Tops Global COVID-19 Recovery Index

Nikkei COVID-19 Recovery Index listed Bahrain at the top position globally. The kingdom achieved 82% for the month of December, the highest score since the Nikkei COVID-19 Recovery Index was launched last year.

Bahrain's topped ranking on the list of 122 countries, it has given around 3.350 million COVID-19 vaccination doses (first, second, and booster doses) and carried out more than 8 million tests, according to statistics from the Kingdom's Ministry of Health.

Bahrain on this month's recovery index came ahead of Chile 76.5%, Taiwan 75.5%, the UAE 75%, and China 74.5%.

The higher the ranking, the closer a country is to recovery - with low infections, higher inoculation rates and less-strict social distancing measures.
