The decision of the Corona Cabinet yesterday (Sunday) to allow about 2,000 passengers to enter Israel daily through Ben Gurion Airport has instilled little hope among many Israelis who want to return to Israel, but many health officials believe that this is a wrong decision.



Health officials have warned that the outline in question could jeopardize the vaccination campaign, as no technological capability has been found to enforce the isolation of returnees, along with fears of further mutations.



"This zigzag is problematic and repeats itself too much," he explained to Walla!

NEWS Prof. Nadav Davidovich, Head of the School of Public Health at Ben Gurion University and a member of the Magen Israel Council of Experts.

According to him, the polarity in the government's decisions makes it difficult to deal with the virus: "A move that moves from almost complete lack of supervision and continues to a complete closure of Ben Gurion Airport is problematic and repeated too many times in dealing with the corona.

It is an extreme movement from one state to another of opening and closing, instead of proportionate conduct. "

Examinations before and after arrival, and isolation if necessary. "



Dr. Zeev Feldman, chairman of the State Physicians Association, said the main difficulty actually stems from the gap between the decisions made in the cabinet and the way they are implemented on the ground."

Dr. Feldman, who serves as the director of the Pediatric Neurosurgery Unit in Sheba and the acting chairman of the Israel Medical Association.



According to him, "this time it must be ensured that Ben Gurion Airport no longer has a green route to import corona and mutations into Israel.

The outline and enforcement must ensure zero leakage of Corona carriers and 100% enforcement of incoming inmates, because otherwise we will soon return to closures that harm us all. "

Today, Israel is still trying to recover from the rapid infection rate of the British strain and curb the spread of the South African strain.

The Ministry of Health announced yesterday that 14 more cases of verification had been identified in the South African variant.

One of them had previously been infected with corona and re-infected with the African variant of the virus.
