Epidemiological research is now underway and, as mentioned, the detention center is closed for absorption and movement until the examination is completed.
At the same time, the Ministry of Health issued new guidelines for locating contacts with verified patients. In a statement issued by the Commissioner of Public Health, Professor Sigal Sadecki said that from now on, epidemiological investigations will check the contacts of verified patients just four days back from the time the symptoms appeared.
According to the new guidelines, for patients whose date of onset of symptoms is known, all those exposed to it in the King of the Four Days must be located before their appearance and until the investigation. For a patient who does not remember or date the symptoms are unknown - anyone who came into contact with them during the 10 days after receiving the positive result will be identified.
In cases of asymptomatic patients: Anyone who comes in contact with them during the week will be located before receiving the positive results. At the same time, ISA detection messages will be sent to people who have been identified who have come in contact with a verified patient during the 10 days prior to receiving the positive result.
