Early on, Israel surfaced as a pandemic success story when strict lockdowns kept case counts low. The country returned to something close to normal, reopening businesses and schools and resuming gatherings and activities. But the optimism was short-lived, and Israel had to go into a second lockdown when COVID-19 started spreading uncontrolled across the country. Dana Schleifer, director of the impact team in Tel Aviv working on complex city challenges, talks with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about the second lockdown and what may happen next.
