Optimism in the fight to stop infections in Corona: In the daily update call held today by the Commissioner for the Fight against Corona, Roni Gamzo, senior members of the health system and IDF representatives, encouraging data were presented on the functioning of the system for amputating infection chains.
Alon's headquarters in the Home Front Command, which was tasked with setting up the array, reported that it conducted more epidemiological investigations yesterday than the number of new verified.
The chain-cutting system now includes about 1,500 investigators, who are able to carry out several investigations a day.
Yesterday, the number of new verified carriers was over 4,000, which means that at the current level of morbidity, it is possible to study all the new carriers on the same day.
The Home Front Command claims that the investigation is an essential tool for halting the spread of the plague.
The failure to establish a large array to cut off the chains after the first wave was one of the reasons for Israel's deterioration into the second wave.
It should be noted that the Corona Cabinet will convene a meeting on the next steps in the fight against the Corona next Tuesday.
The timing of the discussion was determined at the request of Prof. Gamzo, in order to have a clear picture of the morbidity trends.
According to the Home Front Command, the number of interrogations that ended yesterday is 4,401, while the number of patients verified, of which 4,080.
Yesterday, the number of completed investigations was 3,954 and the number of verified patients was 2,913
It is important to emphasize that this is preliminary information and the Home Front Command does not indicate this as a trend.
Since in the Home Front Command on the number of investigations and not on the number of patients, you should cross-reference the data on the number of patients verified with data from the Ministry of Health.
