Corona at the Festigal: "
Israel Today" has learned that the participants and production at the Festigal are undergoing corona tests that are not approved by the Ministry of Health.
One of the professionals called to take part in the production was found positive.
The test is a PCR test by Rapid Diagnostic Systems Ltd., and is in the approval process of the Ministry of Health, which was given to the subjects, and its purpose is to filter out those who may be ill so that the filming days will run as planned and to prevent the possibility of filming. Serious.
In practice, in the production of the Festigal, everyone who enters the complex is checked and a result is obtained within half an hour.
Those who are found negative enter the compound and those who do not - are sent home for isolation.
The problem is, as mentioned, that the test even at the experimental stage, was not approved by the Ministry of Health, is not registered in Israel and worse - whoever came out positive in the test was sent home without any follow-up.
Only yesterday (Tuesday) did the stars of the festival tell the cameras of "Good evening with Guy Pines" about the feeling of liberation in receiving the negative result and the freedom to hug each other, but it is possible that the joy was premature.
According to sources involved in the details, one of the beauticians of the production was indeed found positive for the virus and sent home.
Luckily this was his first time in the complex, so the production continued to work as usual.
The Festigal production said:
"All participants were
informed in
advance that tests would be performed that had not yet been approved by the Ministry of Health, and agreed that if they were found to be positive, they would not be allowed to enter the filming and be asked to undergo a laboratory test. The participant, who was infected when he first arrived at the filming, and therefore never entered the filming site or came into contact with the participants, was checked several times, as was the participant who invited him.
"Although it is not its duty, the production of the Festigal increased and significantly reduced the risk to the health of all participants through private inspections it funded. The production of the Festigal acted according to the law, set up disinfection stations, provided heat measurements and health declarations." "She came to a surprise inspection and found that it was conducted according to the rules and the law. And as evidence - the filming week ended in peace, without patients, and with a product that hundreds of thousands of people will be able to enjoy for forty days starting on November 8."
