The COVID-19 pandemic is a major headache for governments and officials worldwide amid an unprecedented shutdown in economic activity and a total alteration in people's behavior. Israeli government tech startup Zencity hopes to ease the situation for local authorities and affected communities. The startup collects data generated by residents to help agencies glean insights into previously unstructured data. The company has just raised $13.5 million in fresh funding remotely to continue supporting local authorities in light of the virus.
