I'm not sure what the exact numbers are, but case counts are down to like ~20 per day so it seems like the vaccinations were enough to stop it entirely. Also, I live in Tel Aviv, which was never the hardest hit area.

You’re saying that a large city was hit less than other less populated areas? How did Tel Aviv manage to mitigate the infections prior to the vaccinations? Complying citizens? Education campaigns?

  Here in Germany the highest incidence numbers in the last months were raging in sparsely populated areas. The smaller the region the easier it is to have x incidents per 1000 people.

  Look, I'm not exactly an expert. Tel Aviv was hit somewhat badly, one of the worst, but not the absolute worst. Mostly because most of the population here was somewhat more serious about social distancing / etc. Or rather, there were several other cities that were really really not careful (mostly religious areas). Tel Aviv also got vaccinated fairly fast compared to other places. At least that's my impression.

  Cities actually have more going for them than you might think. The population tends to be younger and therefore more "compliant" regarding public health. That means more mask-wearing indoors, distancing whether in or out, and more self-isolating when symptomatic. Delivery of food and groceries is better established. Easier access to testing facilities. Good internet speeds means less inclination to go and see friends in person.
