It is essential to assess the destructive factors influencing the mortality rate of patients with COVID-19. This analysis may be necessary to form a roadmap for governments to focus on preventing and reducing the effects of COVID-19. The research aims to analyze the factors influencing mortality caused by COVID-19, based on data from countries around the world and national levels. Among such factors, the influence of the environmental component is highlighted. Methodology and scientific approaches: a comparative analysis – in establishing the average level of indicators for groups of countries depending on the human development index HDI, as well as for critical indicators to characterize the level of environmental "load" at the level of regions of Ukraine, synthesis method – economically justified analysis results average level of indicators for groups of countries depending on the human development index HDI, the method of generalization – at formation the general conclusions of the study, statistical methods (correlations and the method of averages) – in assessing the impact of factors on mortality from COVID-19. The study results: the article conducted a study on the analysis of factors influencing mortality caused by COVID-19. Indicators that participate in the analysis of factors influencing mortality from COVID-19 are identified. The leading indicators for assessing the standard of living and health of the population used in the world are marked. The average levels of indicators for groups of countries depending on the human development index HDI are calculated. The dependences of these indicators and their impact on the mortality rate on COVID-19 are economically substantiated. In terms of regions of Ukraine, an analysis of the effects of indicators that affect the mortality rate from COVID-19, using some components of the environmental "load." The study of the leading indicators for assessing the consequences of the spread of COVID-19 is carried out, and their significance at the regional level is analyzed. The possibility of using the results in further research may relate to the formation of an economic model of factors influencing mortality caused by COVID-19, which will predict different scenarios of destructive indicators on mortality from COVID-19 depending on the implementation of measures to combat the spread of the disease among governments countries. The study's practical significance is that based on the analysis of the results of the survey, governments can form effective management decisions to counter the spread of COVID-19 at the international and national levels. The social consequences include the social effects that result from the results of this analysis through effective health care decisions by governments.
