Sri Lanka has been ranked 15th -amoung the lowest- in the list of safest countries in Asia-Pacific to be in during the pandemic. DKG has also revealed that the Sri Lanka is among the top 20 countries (ranked 16th) facing serious risks during the ongoing pandemic, together with Italy, the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Sweden, Iran, Ecuador, and Romania. The COVID-19 Country Rankings were made by the analytical department of DKG with implementation of its proprietary analytical methodology, including more than 70 parameters analyzing 150 countries, and will be updated regularly according to ongoing shifts in the dynamic of the pandemic. The data is collected from publicly available sources including World Health Organization, Johns Hopkins University, CDC, Worldometers and others. Each parameter is given a specific weighting, or importance factor, and are used as inputs in Deep Knowledge Group’s proprietary analytical equations (mathematical ranking frameworks developed over the course of the past five years for use in a wide variety of highly complex and multidimensional industries, domains and topics). DKG is a consortium of commercial and non-profit organizations active on many fronts in the realm of DeepTech and Frontier Technologies (AI, Longevity, FinTech, GovTech, InvestTech), ranging from scientific research to investment, entrepreneurship, analytics, media, philanthropy and more.
