The "Nachshon" battalion of the Kfir Brigade is in "unitary isolation" at the Golan Heights base due to suspicion that it was exposed to corona patients. The details of the incident indicate that a battalion soldier was having a birthday party at the pool during the previous weekend. The soldier is not expected to stand trial despite violating the instructions. 

In retrospect, it became clear that a corona patient was present at the party and therefore the soldier and her fellow soldiers who were at the party went into isolation. After a few days, the soldiers were examined, and it turned out that some, including the soldier, were infected with the virus. The soldiers who came into direct contact with the verified female soldier entered a home isolation, and those with symptoms would be tested according to medical guidelines. The rest of the battalion, widely exposed to Corona patients and isolates, is now in unit isolation at the base of the Golan Heights infantry. This is the first time an entire battalion has entered unit isolation. 

A senior battalion official told "Israel Today" that the entire battalion had entered unit isolation, that is, unauthorized entry of any officer into the battalion and soldiers were required to remain closed at the base until further notice. "The soldiers are training, but are not in the friction with any other unit and any other factor," the officer clarified. 

Like all of the State of Israel, the IDF also has an extensive wave of morbidity, and in recent days a record of isolated soldiers has been recorded. In light condition, 245 of them were either recovered or released from service. As of yesterday, the IDF had 7,809 servants in isolation.

An IDF spokesman said: "The incident happened while the new guidelines and strikes were not yet in effect. Soldiers who came into direct contact with the verified female soldier were placed in home isolation, and those with symptoms would be checked according to medical guidelines. The battalion is in unit isolation, conducted in accordance with the new guidelines, and trained in the format of this capsule capsule in accordance with the usual medical procedures in similar cases.
