In light of numerous British verified that stick mutation, oak commander decided to set up a special task force (Tzm"m) to detect dangerous patients coming primarily out to Israel, and quickly cut off the chains of infection corona - learned today (Wednesday) Walla! News.



Htzm"m Deals mainly with variants, and is built on a computer algorithm built with the help of the intelligence of unit 8200. The algorithm unites a variety of issues related to the patient's contacts and connects all the information together, so that soon all the elements lead to the desired tracing of the patient's two contacts.

The team consists of the ICT personnel of 8200 and the interrogators of the Alon headquarters in the Home Front Command camp.

The operation first emerged in the mind of the commander of the Epidemiological Investigation Center, Colonel Reli Margalit, as he sat down with his friends, all retired officers, for a routine dinner in an attempt to figure out how to beat the British mutation known for its rapid and infectious rate.

To him it was like any real enemy, but much more elusive.

At Alon's headquarters, they quickly realized that the new enemy did not intend to make life easy for them, and sometimes there was a feeling that he had the upper hand.



The goal - cutting off the chain of infection within 48 hours - has not changed, but now we also have to wait for the genetic flooring that slows the pace in two very expensive two days.

Every passenger who gets off the plane, especially from the most dangerous countries - Britain, South Africa and Brazil - undergoes a double inspection, one at Ben Gurion Airport and another at his home. The headquarters takes out about 70 samples every day to all verified houses to sample them again. The Ministry of Health at Sheba Hospital in Tel Hashomer, together with the other tests of the verified persons who did not return from abroad.

Once approval is obtained for the British or South African breed, the electronic system knows how to go back two "generations" and trace the latest contacts.

The verifier undergoes a very close and in-depth epidemiological investigation, to which special investigators have been authorized.

Recently the headquarters realized that if they want to beat the mutation they need to work more efficiently so that a person who has been verified for one of the mutations, but at least four days have passed since the test, does not pass the same depth test.

The headquarters examines who in the infection chain is the sickest for the longest time, or in military parlance with the shortest PZM in Corona, and "attacks him". The



tests and investigations show how fast the British strain. The woman made contact with 150 people as part of her work, and the investigation ended with no less than 740 contacts and 146 verified patients.

In another case, the IDF had to deal with an engagement party that took place in violation of regulations. At that party 79 partygoers were infected. The team soon realized that a very large event had to be dealt with. They quickly located the first patient, isolated all partygoers, and managed to reach most verified contacts. .

Those who do not cooperate with the investigation

At its headquarters, patients who do not cooperate with the investigation are also dealt with, which makes the whole amputation process much more complex.

Last Friday a corona patient returned from Dubai who was found positive for the British mutation.

The verified patient no longer felt well while in the UAE but refused to be tested on the grounds that he had no money left to stay abroad.



Along the way, he caught many passengers who were on the flight and led to a particularly long chain of infection that has yet to be fully resolved. The investigators passed the information to the Israel Police, but it will be difficult to convict him of spreading an illness since he was not tested before boarding the plane.
