That’s because of the strict adherence to safety guidelines such as minimum enrollment, no switching of students between groups, and mask wearing. CDC officials believe this is evidence that reopening of child care is possible if the right precautions are taken.

In Israel, the government’s use of GPS phone locations to trace cases of COVID-19 raised scrutiny regarding privacy and accountability. Instead, a newer, open-source app called Hamagen invites users to download and voluntarily participate in contact tracing. Other measures put in place to safeguard personal privacy concerns include parliamentary oversight of governmental tracing programs.

    Response Location: United States, Douglas County, Nebraska

    Douglas County in Nebraska is so far the only county to record the race and ethnicity of anyone who tests positive for COVID-19, and that's due in large part to how the Douglas County Health Department has been conducting their outreach. To make sure they are equitably supplying resources, information, and testing, the department hired a team of people to interview anyone who called in with symptoms, and then adds those details to a contact tracing map that better shows where their blind spots have been.

    South Korea's successful response to the pandemic goes beyond containing the virus; it has also supported its art scene at a time when the arts seem to be on the backburner. Commerical galleries have been allowed to remain open with the enforcement of social distancing, hygiene, and sharing of personal information for the sake of contact tracing. While art markets around the world grind to a halt, South Korean galleries have had a steady pace of sales and are quickly returning to their pre-pandemic numbers. The government is also providing a variety of relief funds for art curators, artists, and galleries.
