Secondly, we used a generalised linear model (GLM) to determine the association between GHSI and confirmed cases and deaths per million people per day, with adjustment for testing rate, population median age and proportion of females. After adjusting for testing rate, median age and the proportion of females, a positive association was also observed between GHSI and COVID-19 cases and deaths, with the biggest burden borne by countries at the highest quartile of GHSI.	./cache/cord-341754-rr7ei8o2.txt	./txt/cord-341754-rr7ei8o2.txt
