The Ministry of Health wants to define all countries in the world as red as of December 28, due to an increase in the morbidity of Israelis returning from abroad, including from green countries. The head of public health services, Dr. Sharon Elrai Price, said tonight (Thursday) That the increase in morbidity also comes from green countries, and that Israel cannot afford to import morbidity when it enters a closure.



Against the background of the Ministry of Health's demand, Israel cannot determine that Dubai or the United Arab Emirates are red according to the ministry's rules, but the Israelis who travel there do not observe the rules at all, so a lot of morbidity comes from there.

By law it is permissible to impose isolation and testing on only four states, unless they are all painted red.



In addition, the other recommendations considered by the Ministry of Health are the closure of trade, which includes the reception of the public, as well as the cessation of studies from the fifth grade onwards in the red and orange cities.

These recommendations, which were discussed at a meeting attended by senior Ministry of Health officials, Prof. Hezi Levy and Dr. Elrai and Price, are scheduled to go to a vote at the upcoming Corona Cabinet meeting on Sunday.

The emerging recommendations come due to the rise in morbidity, as this morning the Ministry of Health updated that 2,802 people had been diagnosed in Corona in the past day.

This is the second day in a row that the daily number of diagnoses is higher than 2,800, thus crossing the continuum leading to the tight restraint, previously announced by the Corona Cabinet.



Ahead of Hanukkah, the government has decided not to impose further restrictions on the holiday.

Instead, when the coefficient of infection reaches 1.32 or the daily number of infected people reaches 2,500, the ministers pledged to announce a policy of tightening the restrictions for three weeks, which will include, among other things, closing the trade, which includes receiving an audience.

According to the Cabinet decision, if at the end of this period there is no significant change in the dimensions of the disease - a general closure will be imposed.
