Russia, India, United States?!, Israel, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Italy, France, Canada, Greece, China....with New Zealand topping them all at rank 6.
"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."
