For the record: The managements of the news company (News 12), News 13 and Channel 20 announced tonight (Wednesday) that the participants in the current affairs programs on the channels will wear masks during the broadcast, in order to prevent the further spread of the corona virus.

The move came after a conversation that Communications Minister Yoaz Handel had with the channel managers.

In a statement issued by the minister on his Twitter account, Handel wrote: "I spoke with the CEOs of News 12 and Keshet and 20. I am glad they agreed and today they will appear in the studios with masks on their faces. This is how the corporation (since yesterday). To create a public norm. 

And thanks also to the network that joined. "

I spoke with the CEOs of News 12 and Keshet and 20.

Glad they agreed and from today will appear in the studios with masks on their faces.

So is the corporation (since yesterday).



Public and media figures must set a personal example.

Masks in studios will help create a public norm.

According to the new guidelines, the editors, commentators and editors will wear masks on their faces and remove them while speaking only.

The decision of the three channels comes a day after the broadcasting corporation "Here" began to present the newscast with masks as well.

During the broadcast of the main edition of "Here" tonight, it was noticeable that all the people sitting in the studio, except the presenter Doria Lempel, put a mask on their faces during the broadcast and remove it only when the presenter addresses them, a moment before a donor arrives.

When Waterfall began submitting the edition last night (Monday), all the reporters except her wore masks.

The field reporters to whom she addressed the waterfall while broadcasting and who were waiting for their turn also wore masks while waiting.

In addition, the number of guests in the studio did not exceed four, which allowed for adequate social distance. 

Reporters are not the only ones asked to wear masks while waiting.

The Minister of Internal Security, who came to be interviewed in the studio and waited his turn, also did so with a mask on his face and removed it just a moment before the interview began.

This morning, a day after the refreshing change in the news edition here, Communications Minister Yoaz Handel called on the TV channels "to set a personal example and sit with masks in the studios as long as they are not talking."

The minister added that "we have been half a year since the beginning of the corona, and yet the public in part has not internalized the obligation to wear the mask. Personal example, appearance and public visibility are part of the tools to deal with the plague. "And you are very much saved for your souls."

Hence 11 the response was given: "Here news sees great importance in the value of personal example and in the ability to promote discourse and lead change through on-screen visibility. We hope this will encourage the wearing of masks, which play an important role in preventing infection."
