The coronavirus crisis has affected nearly all aspects of Israeli society, from the healthcare and education systems, to the labor market and economy at large.
The BJC is proud to join the Maryland/Israel Development Center, LifeBridge Health and Taub Center for Social Policy Studies in Israel in co-sponsoring this program.
This presentation will use Taub Center research and data analysis to provide an overview of the pandemic’s impact on Israel, a comparative analysis of the country’s infection and mortality rates and an assessment of Israel’s response to the pandemic. After the presentations, participants will have an opportunity to speak directly in a question and answer session.
