Yesterday evening, United States President Donald Trump, along with the U.S. Drug Administration, announced that emergency use of the Ramadsibir drug as part of the fight against Corona was given positive results after using the drug. 

It is a drug developed against the Ebola virus, but studies have found it also helps to cope with corona disease. It should be noted that the drug does not cure patients, but helps patients difficult to heal. The approval of the drug director will allow more doctors to treat patients through Ramadsibir, which has so far only been administered in an experimental setting. According to studies, patients admitted to the hospital due to corona infection and receiving Ramadsibir transfusion were discharged from the hospital after an average of 11 days, compared with 15 days in patients receiving placebo in place of Ramadsibir.

The data on the weakening trend are coming at a crucial moment when Israel is preparing for significant closure, with the opening of many businesses across the country last week, and last night the government approved the partial opening of educational institutions. 

According to the outline, remember, first and third grades in state and religious education will teach five days a week on Sundays and Thursdays, five hours of study daily. Learning will take place in small groups of up to 17 students. 11th-12th grades in state and religious education will conduct reinforcements and marathons in preparation for adulthood, in small groups of up to 17 students. In ultra-Orthodox education, they will return to study the age strata corresponding to grades 7-12.
