The Antarctic ozone hole (which is larger than its Arctic cousin) is usually healed before UV-B from the Sun arrives. However, a large ozone hole will place the southern parts of Chile and Argentina at risk first, then New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa at risk (in succeeding orders)
The Arctic (northern) ozone hole is naturally smaller than the Antarctic (southern) ozone hole, and they occur about 6 months apart in time.... when it is winter at that pole.
Answer:
No country has a depletion issue overhead under normal conditions. The two thinning areas occur ONLY over the poles during their winter months. Australia has seen a portion of their country fall under the thinning area some winters, but that is a rare occurrence. No thinning has occurred over areas that maintain the sun year round.
The process that allows for the ozone layer to thin is a lack of sunlight. No science group blames man or CFC's for the issue itself, in fact the largest known thinning area occurred in 1858 before CFC's were used.
What some groups claim (and there is evidence to support this), that CFC's contribute to this issue.

Does the ozone layer thin during winter months?
The ozone layer this during winters. It is due to the increase in depletion at low temperature.
Why are the ozone and troposphere layers not considered main atmospheric layers in the atmosphere?
ozone is not considered as a layer because it is very thin. Troposphere is considered a layer.
What is the thin layer of gas surrounding the earth and protecting it from the harmful uv rays from the sun?
The thin layer of gas surrounding the Earth is called the ozone layer. It absorbs most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can be damaging to living organisms if it reaches the surface in large amounts. The ozone layer is crucial for maintaining life on Earth by providing a shield against the harmful effects of UV radiation.
What is the thin solid outermost layer above the mantle?
The thin solid outermost layer above the mantle is the crust, and the crust is the layer we live on.
What chemical is responsible for the thinning of the protective layer?
The chemical responsible for the thinning of the protective layer of the ozone is chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). These chemicals contain chlorine and fluorine that can react with ozone in the stratosphere, causing it to break down and thin out the ozone layer.
What country gets strong ultraviolet radiation because the ozone layer above it is thin?
See the related questions section below.
What layer has ozone in it that is thin?
The stratosphere contains the ozone. IT is present as ozone layer.
Thin layer of compound ozone that shields the planet from ultraviolet rays?
Thin layer of compound ozone is ozone layer. It protects from harmful UV rays.
What country is affected by ultraviolet light because the ozone layer is thin?
New Zealand
What makes the ozone layer so thin?
CFC's are the reason. They react with ozone to deplete it and makes the layer thin.
What is the term used for ozone layer thin or holes?
Ozone hole is the term. It is the thinning of ozone layer.
What makes ozone layer thin?
The ozone layer gets thin by man made destructive products. Various ODS are responsible for that.
Thin out layer of earth that coversits entire surface?
There is a thin layer of ozone that covers entire surface. It is called ozone layer and protect us too.
How much did the ozone layer over Australia thin in the 1980s?
Ozone layer is thin over Australia. It is due to its location near poles.
What is the thin layer of gas protecting the earth from ultra-violet rays?
Ozone layer is the layer. It contains ozone molecules.
Health hazard resulting from a thin ozone layer?
Health Hazards result from a thin ozone layer. There are skin cancer, eye cataract etc.
Which is the reason for the thinning of the ozone layer?
CFC's are responsible for thinning of ozone. They react with ozone to thin it.
