India’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most stringent in the world, according to a tracker that calculates the response of governments across the globe to COVID-19, based on data from 73 countries.
India has scored a perfect 100 on the “Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT)” that aims to track and compare government responses to the coronavirus outbreak worldwide, rigorously and consistently.
Created by researchers from Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford, the OxCGRT systematically collects information on several different common policy responses governments have taken, scores the stringency of such measures, and aggregates these scores into a common Stringency Index.
