Survey: 42% Of Israelis Report Stress, Anxiety During Second Coronavirus Wave

The poll, conducted by Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics in the middle of July, also found that the mental state of 26 percent of those aged 21 and up has deteriorated during the coronavirus crisis and the health condition of 8.5 percent of ages 21 and up has similarly declined.
