Weightage used in the model for intra-pillar and inter-pillar calculations.
| COVID-19 variable | Intra-pillar weight | Pillar | Inter-pillar weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cases per million population, 7-day average | 5 | (1) Incidence of cases |
1 |
| Change in cases per million population vs. preceding 14 days | 3 | ||
| Test positivity rate, 7-day average | 5 | ||
| Tests per 100 population, 7-day average | 3 | (2) Reliability of case data |
1 |
| Trust in COVID-19 information from the government % | 1 | ||
| Vaccinated population % | 5 | (3) Vaccination |
5 |
| Case fatality rate %, 7-day average | 2 | ||
| Genome sequencing capability | 3 | (4) Variant surveillance |
3 |
| Genome sequencing reporting delay | 2 | ||
| Presence of very high priority variant of concern | 5 |
Note: Weights shown are tailored to the situation of the pandemic situation as of October 6, 2021. As the situation continuously evolves, the weights should be adapted to the present-day priorities as outlined in the upcoming Section 4.
