COVID-19 Regional Safety Index: Analytical
Approach Behind the 4-Tiered Ranking System
Tier 1 consists of 20 regions with exceptionally high level sof regional safety, as
Tier 1
determined by the full application of all 130 parameters across all 6 Regional Safety Index
Categories.
130 Parameters
Tier 1
Tier 2 consists of 20 regions that scored comparatively well in terms of regional safety 130 Parameters
according to the phase-1 analysis using 20 parameters, but not as well as those in Tier 1.
After being located in Tier 2, they were ranked amongst each other using a subset of 60
parameters. Tier 2
60 Parameters
Tier 3 consists of 60 regions that scored much less favourably during the first-phase
analysis that would be expected considering their general pre-pandemic levels of
Quarantine Efficiency, Government Efficiency of Risk Management, Monitoring and Tier 3
60 Parameters
Detection Efficiency, Health Readiness, Regional Resilience and Emergency
Preparedness).

Tier 4 consists of 100 regions that scored least favourably during the first-phase analysis, Tier 4
40 Parameters
and which suffer from high levels of data unavailability or unreliability. After being placed
in Tier 4, they were ranked amongst each other using a subset of 40 parameters (due to
data availability issues which prevented a more comprehensive analysis).

The aim of this approach is to conduct as comprehensive analysis an analysis as

possible considering each region’s unique levels of data availability and reliability.

Deep Knowledge Group COVID-19 Analytics
Deep Knowledge Group’s COVID-19 analytical frameworks and methodology have been designed to rapidly account for the new and ongoing actions
of regions as they strive to mitigate the health and economic consequences of COVID-19 within their own borders. By applying Big Data Analysis to a
large scope of quantified and relevant parameters, and comparing them in tangible practical ways, they are able to serve as the ideal tools for
responsible governments and relevant decision makers to derive actionable data and insights on their own specific situation over time on the
effectiveness of their counter-infection measures and how to adapt the best-case examples (and avoid the mistakes) of other regions in a way that is
tuned to the specifics of their own regional, healthcare and economic circumstance. These frameworks are designed to identify positive cases such
as these, and enable relevant decision makers to get a tangible understanding of how they can apply them to their own situations in an efficient,
cost-effective and actionable manner.

Big Data Analysis for Tangible Insights
COVID-19 is a complex system impacted by the intersection
and interaction of many different factors and enti. Big Data
Analysis can rapidly help identify hidden patterns and
correlations.
Applying Best Case Examples from Other regions
By analyzing the specific metrics that certain regions rank well
in, decision makers can identify the exact factors behind
positive region rankings in specific categories.

Actionable Data-Driven Answers to Key Questions

Region-Specific Metrics for Precise Ranking
The frameworks are designed to be both generally applicable
across many different regions, and to include region-specific
metrics to account for the inevitable specifics of various
regions.
Above all else, the frameworks have been formulated to enable
the identification of tangible, action-oriented insights on how
regions should adjust their policies and efforts maximize
beneficial outcomes for their citizens and national economies.
