COVID-19 outbreak has changed daily lives deeply, has fallen economies into recession, and has put social life and public health under unprecedented pressure. In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the performances of OECD countries in combating COVID-19 and to develop strategies for preventing or controlling a similar epidemic in the future. To this end, MCDM methods are used to evaluate the countries according to the criteria which are number of confirmed cases per one million population, number of deaths per one million population, number of doctors per 1000 population, number of nurses per 1000 population, number of hospital beds per 1000 population, and health spending share. SWARA method is employed to determine the criteria weights. Countries are ranked using TOPSIS, COPRAS, and ARAS methods according to the weights obtained by SWARA. Borda Count Data Fusion technique is used for integrated ranking. Japan is the first alternative according to all rankings and Chile is the last.
