These 6 Countries' Response To COVID-19 Is Very Efficient. What's In Common? They're Women-Led

People who think that women are not suited for politics and political decisions might have to rethink their position after knowing that six nations in the world, all led by woman are ¡®crushing it¡¯ when it comes to COVID-19.

• New Zealand

New Zealand¡¯s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern became the world¡¯s favourite with her response to the terrorist attack in her country. Now she is leading by example again as New Zealand till date has only one death related to coronavirus. The country has reported a decline in coronavirus cases, and as of Friday the total number of cases in the country stand at 1,239, of which 317 have recovered.

A Washington Post headline reads, ¡®New Zealand isn¡¯t just flattening the curve. It¡¯s squashing it¡¯.

Ardern told her citizens, "Act like you have coronavirus. Every move you then make is a risk to someone else. That is how we must all collectively think. That¡¯s why the joy of physically visiting other family, children, grandchildren, friends, neighbours is on hold."

• Germany

Germany, led by Angela Merkel is also flattening the curve. There are over 118,000 cases in the country of which 52,407 have recovered. Out of the closed cases (recoveries plus deaths) Germany's ratio stands at 95% recoveries.
