Gradual return to routine of Israeli citizens was at the center of development of routine living in the shadow of the Corona • Nevertheless, the outlook is not optimistic and according to officials of the Ministry of Health here to stay • Return to routine will occur in slow stages, each time a different part of the economy will be released • All details

"The corona will stay for at least a year or more," the Health Ministry's plan for living in the shadow of the corona said. In the first stage, the Ministry of Health is proposing to return to the employment volume of 30% of the workforce on regular shifts. When 70 and over and 65 with background illnesses stay home. The rule is that anyone who can work from home will be saved.

Students in special education will be able to return to receive individual treatments and be given the option of deliveries, not just from restaurants. A prerequisite for this phase will be the ability to cope with the health system: the addition of 5000 inpatient beds, of which 2500 intensive care beds, and the enhancement of the laboratory system.

Two weeks later, another step will be eased: Workplaces can re-employ 50% of employees - while keeping regular shifts, two families will be able to connect for the sake of keeping one another's children, special education can be taught in groups of 3 children and restaurant shuttles will be available .

Another two weeks later (about a month from now), public space trading (but not malls) will begin with digital surveillance of buyers. Hairdressers, cosmetologists and personal therapists will be able to return to work in full protective conditions when only one person is receiving the treatment and without waiting.

In special education, the size of the study groups will be increased to 5 children and it will be possible to keep children in groups of up to 5 children, and no meetings between the groups.

Contrary to instructions: Patients were treated with Corona antibodies

Prof. Grotto: "Still far from exiting closure"

"Exit closure - in two-week steps"

Or the localities and neighborhoods in which "breathing closure" was imposed

An uncontrolled increase in the number of patients, or in the number of patients and the respiratory tract or recurrence - will require a "withdrawal", however the Ministry of Health does not specify the number - what the morbidity is. According to various models presented, the morbidity level should be between 10 new patients per day and 50 new patients per day. To prevent a large increase in the number of patients and the collapse of the health system. When the condition for moving from stage to stage is the fact that no new morbidity pockets will remain, the number of breaths will not jump and the positive trend will continue.

The Health Ministry has expressed concern that there are "whispering coals" that are from undetected morbidity groups. There are also fears of erosion at the public's level of compliance, as defined by the guidelines, and there is also concern about the Ramadan month in which there may be a proliferation of morbidity and the issue of morbidity in the Palestinian Authority.

The program submitted by the Ministry of Health does not address the issue of opening educational institutions (other than special education). This is despite the fact that the Gartner Institute, a research institute that advises the Ministry of Health, has devised such a program whereby first and third grade classes can be held in groups of ten students and alternately (4 class days and ten at home).

The Director General of the Ministry of Health Moshe Bar Goodman said in interviews during the day: "We learn from the experience of other countries that bring the education system back to action. Children can be a significant infection factor even if they experience the disease easily.

When school returns to routine, they will return differently. We have begun the discussion with the Ministry of Education on models that will allow a managed return to child custody frameworks. We understand the difficulties but we will have to do it step by step, ”he added.

Association of Public Health Doctors: The Corona decision-making process requires urgent redress

Tonight, at a hearing of the Association of Public Health Doctors together with the public health schools, in which over 250 public health experts were presented and at least five different strategies for exiting the quarantine were presented. 

Along with various ways and possibilities for continuing to cope, there is a consensus on the urgent need to correct serious deficiencies in the decision-making process. There are currently no definite goals and objectives in dealing with the event, no strategic planning, no systematic monitoring, insufficient transparency about the data and the way decisions are made, and there is insufficient involvement of public health professionals. The current quarantine causes serious public health damage that has not been measured. 

People should be allowed to engage in physical activity, go out in nature, reduce stress and anxiety, get medical treatment and healthy young people - return to work.
