The director general of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Hezi Levy, said this morning (Sunday) in an interview with Gali Tzahal that in his estimation the routine will not return after the holidays: "I assume that we will not leave the quarantine immediately after Simchat Torah.
Levy said that in order to get out of quarantine, one needs to get down to less than 10% contagion, while today we stand at 15%.
But is this the index?
Deputy Director General of the Ministry of Health Prof. Itamar Grotto claimed a few days ago that "the goal of the exit is to reduce the rate of positives to 7%." It seems that the Ministry of Health is not uniform in this sector as well.

Studies will not be fully resumed immediately after Sukkot either "

In addition, Prof. Levy came out against the gatherings that are still taking place, and addressed prayers and demonstrations.
Levy said he fears many prayers will be held despite the request to reduce it as much as possible.
"Disturbed as an Israeli citizen. Feels like we do not see what is happening, where are we galloping? We see huge crowds, fear of prayers in places where we have sought to reduce."
As for the demonstrations, he claimed that the layout of the capsules was not maintained and called on the demonstrators to recover.
"Calls on everyone - despite the right to demonstrate, we must recover. We built an outline that allows outdoor demonstrations in capsules, what we saw last night kept that outline?"
