A member of the Tel Aviv municipal council sent a letter to the theater, demanding that they stop the staging of the play.

Lazaretto is a disturbing and stirring dystopia which haunted me while I was reading it and even after I’d finished.”[5] The novel was named "Book of the Year" by LaIsha Magazine which dubbed it "the novel that predicted the pandemic"[6] Azoulay has also written a series of short stories entitled "Minor Writers of the Entropic Age".
