Pakistan is ranked third out of 50 nations in The Economist’s Global Normalcy Index.
The Economist’s “normalcy index” seeks to identify which nations are returning to pre-pandemic levels by evaluating each country on eight indicators: time spent away from home, retail, office usage, public transportation, road traffic, flights, movie attendance, and sporting event attendance.
According to the study, the global normality index fell in March 2020 as a result of several nations imposing limitations on citizen mobility.
The Economist continues, “Today it stands at 66 (out of 100), implying that the globe has journeyed approximately half way back to pre-pandemic living.”
The pre-pandemic level of activity was set at 100, and Pakistan came in third with an 84.4 out of 100 score. While Hong Kong is ranked first with a score of 96.3, New Zealand is placed second with a score of 87.8.
“Hong Kong and New Zealand are now at the top of our tables,” according to the study, “two locations that have taken excellent safeguards against the coronavirus and experienced very few deaths.”
Pakistan placed in the top 100 in the categories of “retail,” “office usage,” “time not spent at home,” and “public transportation.” However, it received a bad grade in the categories of “flights” and “movies.”
Pakistan’s National Command and Operation Centre eased restrictions again on June 28, permitting indoor dining for the first time since November 2020, as well as indoor weddings with vaccinated guests and the opening of theatres.
As of July 5, Pakistan has 963,660 coronavirus cases, with 22,427 individuals dying as a result of the fatal disease.
