Two years ago, Israel & the world were taken by storm with the spread of a new & dangerous virus known today as COVID 19.

While the virus continues to spread (this time with variants like Delta and Omricon), Israel is using its own experiences curbing the virus to help other countries around the world fight the pandemic.

On this episode of Persona Grata, we're speaking to some of the leading governmental, diplomatic and medical professionals in Israel and around the world who are working together to combat the Coronavirus.
