In a week and a half, Alon's headquarters will train the Ministry of Health, the health funds and the hospitals in a war game that resembles the treatment of one hundred thousand civilians a day.

According to the senior official, "This is the serious scenario we are preparing for in January, February and March - Corona combined with the flu."

Health Ministry Director General Hezi Levy instructed Alon Headquarters to prepare the "war exercise", the details and scenarios of which will be approved in the coming week. The headquarters intends to train the Ministry of Health, Home Front Command, hospitals, health funds, sample civilian companies and corona laboratories for tens of thousands of infected. In Corona during the day, the

exercise will be a simulation exercise and not in the field during which the decision-making process, the functioning of the control and monitoring information systems will be examined, and possible bottlenecks and bureaucratic barriers will be examined.

The demarcation of the contacts of the infected constituted a significant gap at first because the public did not cooperate with the epidemiological investigations and most of the respondents claimed that they do not remember who they came in contact with.

However, the Alon headquarters say that following an extensive media campaign on the subject, there has been a change in attitude.

"When a day investigator clicks on the name of a verified patient, a list of all family members pops up in front of him," explained a senior Home Front Command officer.

According to data from the Home Front Command, an average of 40% of the respondents helped investigators reach ten or more contacts, an additional 40% for four to nine contacts, 15% for one to four contacts and 5% for zero contacts.

Brigadier General Davidi instructed the establishment of a special mission team (ZMM) in collaboration with professors from the Weizmann Institute, 8200 officers, the Ministry of Health and Alon Headquarters, which will combine artificial intelligence and algorithmics.

This is to analyze the information and help assess the centers of infection and morbidity.

"If I got infected in a certain factory and someone else got infected, it would jump into the information system. That way we would close circles on large places," the officer said.

"A few days ago we had a case of a carpentry factory in Yavne. We quickly closed the factory, sampled the entire factory within a day, and found 30 patients out of 150 workers."

Another area that is closely accompanied by Alon's headquarters is the opening of the education system.

"Today we respond to every outbreak in schools within a day," the senior official testified.

"Within 24 hours we send our mobile and sample everyone in the school - teachers and students, close a circle quickly and put in isolation."

The senior officer warned that no progress had been made in police enforcement against the isolation debtors.

"The police are not able to reach everyone even when the level of morbidity is between a thousand and 2,000 a day," he said.

In the Arab and ultra-Orthodox sectors, it was decided to take a thorough response that includes collecting samples from all members of the family at home, including samples of an entire building or street, since some citizens are ashamed to come for testing.

Such an operation was carried out in four Druze villages last week.

Meanwhile, it appears that the national task of transporting and vaccinating the corona across the country will also be assigned to Alon Headquarters, which has volunteered to carry it out.
