Abstract

Information on the main indicators of the Pandemic COVID-19 is published daily for each subject of the Russian Federation. Of interest is the comparative ranking of regions in terms of new cases, active cases that have recovered from COVID-19, the allocation of homogeneous groups of regions in terms of the distribution of COVID-19. Since several indicators, respectively, the ranking of regions can be several options: the same regions with a high level of morbidity can be characterized by lower mortality from COVID-19 and vice versa, which will shift their position in the overall rating assessment. Such a state complicates the perception of the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic in the spatial-territorial context. In this regard, it makes sense to develop a certain latent integral indicator for assessing the COVID-19 pandemic process, which will allow comparing the subjects of the Russian Federation with each other in order to develop practical recommendations.

Keywords: COVID-19; integral indicator; pandemic; rating assessment.
