UAE tops chart as most Covid-resilient country as Omicron variant hits

Coinciding with winter, the emergence of the new strain of coronavirus will cause concern for recovering economies

The UAE topped the latest Covid-19 global resilience ranking, with Finland and Chile also among the leaders.

The Emirates placed first in the Bloomberg News chart, with high vaccination rates and increased air travel among the key factors.

Ireland, Spain and Turkey were among the other top nations noted for their handling of the pandemic, although Ireland fell three places to fourth after cases surged to 2,418 per 100,000 in the past month.

The Bloomberg Covid Resilience Ranking moved the Emirates up from third place last month to No 1.

The UAE has been a consistently high-performing country thanks to an organised and thorough vaccination drive and stringent precautionary measures.

.
.

Cases in the UAE have stayed below 100 a day for the past month and there have been only three deaths from the virus in the last ten days. More than 90 per cent of the country is fully vaccinated, and 100 per cent of eligible people have had at least one dose.

The country is currently enjoying its winter, further limiting the spread of the virus as people spend more time outdoors.

Some European countries are facing a difficult winter ahead as cold nights bring people indoors, and restrictions are beginning to be reimposed.

Austria, which recently announced a lockdown and mandatory vaccinations, dropped 31 places.

10 tips for entry-level job seekers
  • Have an up-to-date, professional LinkedIn profile. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, set one up today. Avoid poor-quality profile pictures with distracting backgrounds. Include a professional summary and begin to grow your network.
  • Keep track of the job trends in your sector through the news. Apply for job alerts at your dream organisations and the types of jobs you want – LinkedIn uses AI to share similar relevant jobs based on your selections.
  • Double check that you’ve highlighted relevant skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
  • For most entry-level jobs, your resume will first be filtered by an applicant tracking system for keywords. Look closely at the description of the job you are applying for and mirror the language as much as possible (while being honest and accurate about your skills and experience).
  • Keep your CV professional and in a simple format – make sure you tailor your cover letter and application to the company and role.
  • Go online and look for details on job specifications for your target position. Make a list of skills required and set yourself some learning goals to tick off all the necessary skills one by one.
  • Don’t be afraid to reach outside your immediate friends and family to other acquaintances and let them know you are looking for new opportunities.
  • Make sure you’ve set your LinkedIn profile to signal that you are “open to opportunities”. Also be sure to use LinkedIn to search for people who are still actively hiring by searching for those that have the headline “I’m hiring” or “We’re hiring” in their profile.
  • Prepare for online interviews using mock interview tools. Even before landing interviews, it can be useful to start practising.
  • Be professional and patient. Always be professional with whoever you are interacting with throughout your search process, this will be remembered. You need to be patient, dedicated and not give up on your search. Candidates need to make sure they are following up appropriately for roles they have applied.

Red flags
  • Promises of high, fixed or 'guaranteed' returns.
  • Unregulated structured products or complex investments often used to bypass traditional safeguards.
  • Lack of clear information, vague language, no access to audited financials.
  • Overseas companies targeting investors in other jurisdictions - this can make legal recovery difficult.
  • Hard-selling tactics - creating urgency, offering 'exclusive' deals.
