Bloomberg said the changes in the ranking last month reflect the tug of war between vaccine-led resumption of economic activities and pandemic restrictions as contagious new strains spread.
《彭博》指出，上月全球防疫韌性排名變動，反映出傳染力強的新變異株擴散時，靠疫苗接種重啟經濟活動及實施防疫措施這兩個因素之間的拉扯。

The United States came in first in the ranking last month. However, the country has seen a surge in new infections as its vaccination rate reaches a plateau and the delta variant rages.
