Abstract:

In this study, we conducted a statistical assessment of the economic and healthcare issues of leading countries affected due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We sought to consider the pandemic's progressive components, including the total tests, total cases, total deaths, total recoveries, and the total number of active cases. We also investigated the population dispersion, health index, and annual per capita income of the target countries. Real-time information regarding the topics is gathered from reputable institutional websites across the world, then organized and analyzed using statistical techniques. Both the graphical and tabular approaches are employed to present statistical manifestations. While some countries are shown to be in the leading position for most of the target issues, some inconsistencies are observed among a few. Concerning the annual per capita income and health index of the target countries, the Covid-19 components are not very relevant, but there is a slight similarity when looking at the overall population. Interestingly, regions with very low population densities show a higher prevalence of Covid-19. No discernible trend is attained from Bangladesh's perspective.

Keywords: Covid-19 components; Leading affected countries; Per-capita income, Health index, Population dispersion, Statistical assessment.
