The international fight against the spread of the Corona virus is widening, and the Israeli Ministry of Health is considered a leading and groundbreaking advisor to the country's public against the Corona to major Asian countries across China, including Thailand, Japan and Singapore.

This is true even if it is not a clear warning not to travel to these countries and also to the duty of care and isolation of the Israelis coming from these countries - and not just from China. The price of these warnings is a fear of hurting diplomatic relations with some Asian countries as Israel has advanced most of the countries in these warnings. So much so that the Foreign Ministry yesterday criticized the Health Ministry's new and early warnings on the site on this issue. However, the Ministry of Health warnings and cautions are committed to protecting public health, to try to prevent as much as possible the arrival of the virus in Israel and to protect as much as possible the public in Israel.

The Ministry of Health's new warnings are part of the global effort to prevent the spread of the disease worldwide, fearing it will turn into a deadly and devastating global epidemic. And the concerns are great not just about public health. But also a link to a devastating impact on the global economy in which China is a major player. However, the Ministry of Health in Israel, as well as the world's health authorities, are committed to taking these steps to protect residents of each country and humanity. The concern at the Ministry of Health is that it is only a matter of time before a Corona patient is discovered in Israel. This concern was greatly heightened when the concern that Israel had contracted the disease while on a tourist ship in Japan.

One of the major problems in the global effort to eradicate the epidemic is that the information on which the world is based relies largely on the information provided by the authorities in China. However, according to senior health officials in Israel, this information is not sufficiently complete and not reliable enough - which makes it extremely difficult for the world and Israeli to prepare for the disease, some of which is running with great uncertainty. The Ministry of Health has already taken extreme and very unusual and unusual steps that have not been seen in Israel for decades, including the renewal of the legal order that allows for forced hospitalization and the renewal of the legal obligation to remain in quarantine or solitary confinement for two weeks. This is after returning from China and other countries in Asia, and the Ministry of Health even welcomes the possibility of operating the police in case Israel violates the directive.

However, the Ministry of Health is also waging a new battle with rumors and Pike News. Almost every day, the Ministry of Health publishes messages that urge the public not to echo idle and Pike News about the discovery of Israeli patients with the disease and the alleged outbreak of the virus in Israel. Again, on this issue, the Ministry of Health hopes, once again, to rely on the solidarity of the Israeli public and hopes that the public will stop the Pike News and the malicious and false rumors on this issue. All this when delivering true and correct information has a very high weight in the success of the fight against epidemics and maintaining public health.

The Ministry of Health estimates, as stated, that it is probably only a matter of time before an Israeli patient is discovered with the virus, but even if such a patient is discovered in Israel, it will not be an epidemic outbreak, and then Israeli social solidarity, public calm, rumor avoidance and news will be needed. , And proper management of the crisis by the Ministry of Health.
