The political echelon has not yet finally approved the strategy to exit the closure imposed following the Corona epidemic, but Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi has decided to expand its capabilities and accelerate processes in order to streamline the operation of the Alon headquarters to cut off the contagion chain. Re-deploy the tests around three specific focus groups, in a program that further requires the approval of the political echelon.



Today, about 15,000 tests are performed daily in nursing homes and geriatric institutions that receive priority.

The figure is 30% of the national testing capacity.

According to the new plan, IDF officers recommend that regular tests be included in this group in the education system and in meetings with a high potential for infection. Therefore, the scope of the tests will increase accordingly, according to the plan, to about 100,000 tests per day.

The second group that tests are currently focused on are the medical staff and patients hospitalized and HMOs.

It is estimated that a sharp increase in the number of patients is expected due to the effect and the data will jump from 20,000 tests to higher numbers.

According to the plan, the scope of tests in clinics and hospitals will increase significantly to protect staff and patients.



According to the plan, an average of 5,000 to 8,000 tests are performed per day in the general population, but the main difficulty lies in the way of reaching contacts between patients and other citizens.

At the beginning of November, the IDF and the Ministry of Defense are expected to implement the new investigation system and integrate about 2,800 epidemiological investigators.

According to the calculation made at the Home Front Command's Alon headquarters, the researchers could reach about 30,000 cases a day if each patient cooperated and pointed out at least five civilians with whom he came in contact.

It is estimated that on average each investigator will conduct two investigations per day.



One of Kochavi's first decisions is to increase the scope of epidemiological researchers from 2,000 as decided last week to 2,800.

According to senior officers, the addition of 800 researchers is intended to reduce gaps in the ultra-Orthodox sector, the ultra-Orthodox sector and the Amharic language in which the investigation system has difficulty obtaining cooperation from citizens.

Thus in fact, will grow will actually include the "Ella" battalion under the command of the battalion headquarters 700 investigators.

In addition, 400 researchers will be recruited to complete 2,800 researchers, including 200 Arabic-speaking national service girls.

In addition, additional researchers from the ultra-Orthodox sector were absorbed.



The information systems that are expected to be integrated into the investigation system are being developed by the ICT Division and the Alon headquarters in the Home Front Command and the Ministry of Health, and it is estimated that the National Investigation System will start operating as early as October 15.



Today, the maximum testing capacity is around 60,000 tests per day, and in November, the Alon headquarters is scheduled to coordinate 100,000 tests per day with the help of civilian laboratories that have begun to be built and civilian companies that will specialize in collecting samples.

It has not yet been decided whether they will replace MDA in the sampling mission or work alongside MDA teams.
