The General Practitioners' Association said they would appeal to the director general of the Ministry of Health to revoke the directive and leave the authority to determine who is recovering to doctors. Dr. Moshe Kostiner, chairman of the Clalit Physicians Association: ".
• Prof. Gamzo: "There will be no irrational restrictions - but a new contract with the public is needed"
• Research: Israel at the bottom of the table of mortality rates from Corona
• "Ready to disable the health care system"
"No dispute"

Director General, Prof. Hezi Levy: As they are trying to paint, between me and Prof. Roni Gamzo, and we work together hand in hand. "
