COVID-19 Stringency Index

The stringency index is a composite measure based on nine response indicators including school closures, workplace closures, and travel bans, rescaled to a value
from 0 to 100 (100 = strictest). If policies vary at the subnational level, the index shows the response level of the strictest subregion.
