One measure put in place to contain the spread of the disease is self-quarantine of individuals who may have been exposed to the disease. While officials expect the public to comply with such regulation, studies suggest that a major obstacle to compliance for self-quarantine is concern over loss of income or employment due to the prolonged absence from work. Methods: A cohort study of the adult population of Israel was conducted in two time points during the COVID-19 outbreak, the last week of February and the third week of March 2020, in order to assess public attitudes. In particular, public compliance rates to self-quarantine with and without State-sponsored compensation for lost wages were assessed. Results: The results suggest that public attitudes changed as the threat increased, making people more compliant with regulations. In February 2020, compliance rate for self-quarantine dropped from 94% to less than 57% when monetary compensation for lost wages was removed; however, in March 2020 this drop became more moderate (from 96 to 71%). The multivariate logistic regression revealed that older, non-Jewish, worried over COVID-19, and trusting the Ministry of Health were more likely than their counterparts to comply with self-isolation, even when monetary compensation was not assumed. Conclusions: Despite the effects of threat on people’s obedience with regulations, this study demonstrates that providing people with assurances about their livelihood during absence from work remains an important component in compliance with public health regulations.

  • Age, Ageing, Ageism
    Clarfield and Jotkowitz Israel Journal of Health Policy Research (2020) 9:64 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13584-020-00416-y PERSPECTIVE Open Access Age, ageing, ageism and “age-itation” in the Age of COVID-19: rights and obligations relating to older persons in Israel as observed through the lens of medical ethics A. Mark Clarfield1,2* and Alan Jotkowitz3 Abstract COVID-19, the illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has reached pandemic proportions. Although the virus can cause disease in anyone, it is particularly dangerous for those with various “co-morbidities” such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, obesity and others. Furthermore, advancing age (from about 60 on), even in those older persons without any accompanying illnesses, is a strong and independent risk factor for pneumonia, need for an ICU bed and death from the virus. It is therefore essential to find ways to protect all at-risk persons (old or young) from the virus but at the same time not harming, more than absolutely necessary their essential freedoms as well as taking into account their social/psychological needs. Compared with other OECD countries, Israel’s population is still relatively young, with only 11.5% being over 65+ with a smaller proportion of older persons in long-term institutions than that found in most other comparable jurisdictions. These factors might explain a part of the country’s (so far) relatively low rates of serious disease and mortality compared to those seen in other developed countries. However there are still over a million older citizens at risk and the numbers of infected, hospitalized and seriously ill persons are rising once again.

  • Human–Dog Relationships During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Booming Dog Adoption During Social Isolation
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-020-00649-x OPEN Human–dog relationships during the COVID-19 pandemic: booming dog adoption during social isolation Liat Morgan et al.# The recent COVID-19 pandemic led to uncertainty and severe health and economic concerns. Previous studies indicated that owning a companion animal, such as a dog or a cat, has 1234567890():,; benefits for good mental health. Interactions with animals may help with depression and anxiety, particularly under stress-prone conditions. Human–animal interactions may even improve peer-to-peer social relationships, as well as enhance feelings of respect, trust, and empathy between people. Interestingly, it has also been shown that stress and poor well- being of dog owners negatively affect the well-being of their companion animals. However, a dramatic increase in dog abandonment could potentially occur due to COVID-19 related health, economic and social stresses, as well as due to the inconclusive reports of companion animals being potential COVID-19 carriers. Such a scenario may lead to high costs and considerable public health risks. Accordingly, we hypothesized that the COVID-19 pandemic, and the related social isolation, might lead to dramatic changes in human–dog bidirectional relationships. Using unique prospective and retrospective datasets, our objectives were to investigate how people perceived and acted during the COVID-19 pandemic social isolation, in regards to dog adoption and abandonment; and to examine the bidirectional relationship between the well-being of dog owners and that of their dogs. Overall, according to our analysis, as the social isolation became more stringent during the pandemic, the interest in dog adoption and the adoption rate increased significantly, while abandonment did not change.

  • Digital Inequalities in Times of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Israel and Germany
    Digital Inequalities in Times of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Israel and Germany Elisabeth Sommerlad Institute of Geography Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany [email protected] and Yossi David Department of Communication Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany [email protected] Abstract: With the global spread of COVID-19, various countries closed their borders, called for social distancing, and to stay at home. Thus, creating digital platforms as essential means of communication for interpersonal encounters, public information, education systems, and access to vital needs was of utmost importance. These developments increased access to the Internet and digital media, which are still not equally available to all at national and international levels. Digital inequalities, whether within or between countries or various socio-cultural communities, have become a significant factor together with the increased need for and use of digital media access. The chapter explores the role of digital inequalities in the context of COVID-19 in two countries (Germany and Israel), considering three social dimensions: (1) education, (2) access to vital needs, and (3) surveillance apps. Exploring these phenomena from a comparative perspective contributes to improve understanding the social role of digital inequalities in times of crisis. Keywords: Coronavirus, digital media, communication, Internet, inequality 1. Introduction: COVID-19, A Magnifying Glass for Digital Inequalities With the global spread of COVID-19, various countries have begun to close their borders and to apply some level of closure (also known as “lockdown”) and calls for social distancing and to stay at home (Kay 2020). Numerous public and private, professional and interpersonal activities as well as the fulfillment of basic social needs were transferred to digital platforms.
