Associates with Professor Sigal Sadecki, head of public health at the Ministry of Health who announced her resignation on Tuesday, have linked her move with government decisions to opening the events and canceling the capsules, contrary to her opinion: "Someone has to make a decision and the responsibility is for those in the field. There is a simple mathematical fact - it is impossible for everyone to make a decision. For you to be accountable, you need to have the ability to act, "her associates said. They added: "She thought the opening of the schools was too fast and impossible without capsule keeping." 

As mentioned earlier, Professor Sigal Sadetzk announced today that he would be terminating her role while strongly criticizing the Ministry of Health's treatment of the second wave of the Corona. "The plague treatment compass has lost direction," Sadecki wrote, adding that she decided to resign because "my opinion is not accepted."

"The first wave of achievements has been declining with the widespread and rapid opening of the economy. The transition to the second phase in Israel was much more extensive and rapid compared to other Western countries. "In recent weeks, Israel has moved to a dangerous place. The data and current morbidity and forecast for the near future indicate that there are a thousand witnesses. Israel, which has had success in dealing with the first wave, has separated from other leading countries by deviating from the policies they adopted through the very rapid release of social activities. Redo (by detailing the purple character rules) failed. But, after that way did not work - the number of patients rising, had to be corrected - and quickly. "

"Unfortunately, for several weeks the compass treatment has lost direction. Despite systematic and regular warnings in various systems, and discussions in various forums, We are watching frustration at the opportunity's hourglass. Against this background, I have come to the conclusion that the newly created conditions, in which my professional opinion is not accepted - can no longer help to effectively cope with the spread of the virus. "

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Prof. Sadecki "for her contribution to the joint national effort to deal with the Corona epidemic" and wished her success later on.

Yesterday, Health Minister Yuli Edelstein announced: "I have decided to appoint a special director for the campaign against the corona epidemic. In the near future, I will announce my choice. Its role will be to include the issue, from the test set, through cutting the infection chain and other virus-related actions." Not to be outdone, following this announcement, Sadecki felt the reins take off - and decided to leave. Sadecki was very close to the former chief executive of the firm, who recently retired, Moshe Bar Good sign. After a good mark was replaced by the CEO who is a doctor (Prof. Hezi Levy), his position in the office was weakened.

Health Minister Yuli Edelstein said in response: "Professor Sigal Sadecki is a dedicated employee who has spent many days working for the health of Israeli citizens. I would like to thank her for doing so and wish her success down the road."
