Practitioners of the new test layout:
In the Home Front Command and Sheba Target complexes that perform PCR tests, there was a steep decrease of at least 50 percent in the demand for tests over the weekend.
As part of the gradual adaptation to the new outline, the Ministry of Health allowed at the weekend to accept anyone who is interested even if he is not over 60 or has a background illness, when towards Monday are expected to receive only according to the new guidelines (over 60 or seriously ill).

Sources in the testing system noted that "the main problem is that the state has set up laboratories specifically for the benefit of PCR tests, but at the moment they are almost empty and it is a great waste of resources. In such a situation they may close and then the state will be in trouble again."
According to the new outline that went into effect on the night between Thursday and Friday, people aged 60 and over and people at risk will perform PCR tests, with the entire vaccinated population performing a home or supervised antigen test only.
It will also be possible to conduct antigen tests in primary schools only by Corona trustees.
As mentioned, only people aged 60 and over and people at risk will be able to perform a PCR test.
If the result is negative they will be exempt from isolation, if the result is positive they will be required to stay in isolation for ten days.
At the end of those days the discharge is only with the approval of a doctor, when no further examination is necessary.

The entire vaccinated population will perform a home antigen test or a supervised antigen test.
A negative result will be exempt from isolation, in case of a positive home result a supervised antigen test will be performed.
A positive result will require staying in solitary confinement for ten days and discharge with a doctor’s approval.
Here, too, no further examination is necessary.
Meanwhile, a vaccinated or recovering person, caring for a minor under 12 or helpless who has been verified to Corona, will remain in isolation until a negative result is obtained in a supervised antigen test performed from the last day of isolation of the patient he is treating.
It is important to emphasize that anyone who is vaccinated with only one vaccine is not protected and is therefore considered unvaccinated and does not recover in the event of exposure to verified and is not exempt from isolation.
