    A CDC study of Rhode-Island childcare centers revealed that out of the 666 childcare centers that were opened, only four had cases that involved the spread of the virus. 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.

    Many psychologists and counselors have moved their therapy sessions online due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has been received largely positively across the nation. As the pandemic continues, however, there is an increasing need for therapists who are trained to work with other therapists or first responders, so some states are now increasing online educational training, using social media to make connections, and utilizing professional organizations to "keep records of therapists available and trained to work with other first responders."

    Response Location: South Korea, Seoul

    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.

    After learning that the U.S. would likely face a shortage of ventilators during the coronavirus pandemic, a group of "scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, physicians and regulatory experts" collaborated to design an automatic resuscitator that can be used to help "less critically ill patients." The streamlined creation comes with an affordable price tag, making it more scalable for use in rural areas or less developed regions, and has also been approved by the F.D.A. for use in hospitals.

    Response Location: Israel, Jerusalem

    The use of mobile phone technology can aid in contact tracing and the collection of public health data. 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.

    Response Location: Guatemala

    The group, Promoters of Migrant Liberation, provides translation of indigenous Guatemalan, Maya, Mexican, and Afro-Caribbean languages for migrants in US detention centers. They help translate right from detention, throughout case preparation, and as migrants exit detention centers. The group is made up of only women translating for women migrants, but as detention centers see more migrants as a result of zero-tolerance policies, they’re going to expand to help children and men.

    The NYC-based campaign, Dumplings Against Hate, has raised tens of thousands of dollars for Asian Americans for Equality’s Emergency Small Business Relief Fund by bringing together a virtual community of support. As the COVID-19 pandemic picked up in early 2020, Chinatown restaurants and businesses saw a decrease in revenue because of xenophobia and racism, inspiring the group’s creation. Since then, it’s acted as a model for similar groups across the country, and is creating a toolkit for cities to create their own campaigns.
