They included virus containment, quality of healthcare, vaccination coverage, overall mortality, and progress toward restarting travel.
In its report, Bloomberg noted the UAE’s ratio of COVID-19 vaccine to population was 244.4 per cent at the end of January.
They said the UAE's success is based on an approach it’s been following for months - a combination of high inoculation rate coupled with consistent openness to travel.
The ranking is based on quality of healthcare, vaccination coverage, overall mortality and progress toward restarting travel.
