The IDF spokesman said: "The chief of staff feels good, without symptoms, and will be examined in the next few minutes. This was also attended by the Home Front Command and the Operations Division commander, and will therefore be in isolation by the end of the week. "

In Israel, the biggest difference in the world between the infection graph and the mortality graph. It needs to be tightened further and the adult population is maintained. The referral procedure is changing and the authorities will decide according to the Ministry of Health guidelines. "
Regarding the involvement of soldiers in enforcing the Ministry of Health's guidelines, the military said that IDF soldiers would not enforce the law and would not carry weapons, but would only assist the police in the national deployment centers. He said the soldiers were not supposed to evacuate civilians, nor would they conduct direct discourse in front of them.
