This research aims to understand the success of municipal governments in Israel in minimizing the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic at the local level. After defining measures of success, the research identified the factors- primarily the policies implemented, management, and cooperative efforts- that allowed successful municipalities to minimize the impact of the pandemic in their towns and cities. These factors, as well as policy recommendations for both the central government and local governments, were identified and detailed.
