The director general of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Hezi Levy, today (Monday) instructed all returnees from Denmark to undergo a corona test for all, including genetic flooring, in order to know whether they carry the mutation in corona that originates from miners. So far, 3 people have been sent for testing.
The Ministry of Health said in response to the miners: "In Denmark, a small number of patients infected with the mutation are currently known and they are isolated. The probability of a patient carrying the mutation arriving in Israel is low. At the same time, we are taking extra care.
"The Ministry of Health, together with the Home Front Command, has issued a list of passengers who have returned from Denmark and will contact them this morning to perform a special sampling for the corona and test the mutation.
