• Prof. Gamzo: does not want a closure, but if the morbidity continues to grow, there may be no choice
• New guidelines for performing corona tests
• New morbidity record: Israel overtook China in the number of patients
Corona's commissioner, Professor Roni Gamzo, stated yesterday that he is not interested in imposing another closure on Israeli residents, but that it will be inevitable if the morbidity continues to grow. On Tuesday, Gamzo presented his "traffic light plan" for the fight against the virus. The plan defines "white" localities where there will be no restrictions, "green" localities where there is little morbidity and adjusted activity, "yellow" localities where the morbidity is on the rise with a stable and stable rate of activity, "orange" localities with limited activity due to high morbidity And immigrant and "red" localities where activity is prohibited due to high morbidity and high infection rate.
