... ries in the world can be divided into five clusters based on four COVID-19-related variables, i.e. the number of cases cumulative total, death cumulative total, positive cases per capita, and case fatality rate. The distribution of the countries in five clusters was as follows; the first cluster contained 48 countries, the second cluster contained 3 countries, the third and fourth clusters contained 16 and 89 countries respectively, and the last cluster contained 63 countries. The largest cluster is the fourth one, containing countries that form a cluster with a centroid below the world average, and the smallest cluster is the second cluster with the high cases in all attributes, consisting of the USA, India, and Brazil.
