The Constitution Committee discusses the integration of a population that has not yet been vaccinated against Corona in places that will operate under the green label • Dr. Sharon Elrai-Price: "Within two weeks - rapid tests"
The Constitution Committee is currently (Tuesday) discussing the third beat of the Green Charter that went into effect on Sunday.
In the course of the discussion, the possibilities for integrating unvaccinated people against the corona virus in activities included under the green label outline were examined.
Dr. Sharon Elrai Price, head of public health services at the Ministry of Health, said that “the purpose of the green label is to create places where the risk of illness is lower, thus allowing more people to enter and allow a normal farm life.
From the beginning we said a green drink could also get into people with tests.
"People who can't get vaccinated, those who have an allergy to one of the vaccine components are rare."

She added that within two weeks the use of rapid corona tests should go into action: "We are promoting the introduction of rapid tests and we need to see how the various sampling factors report positive results that are very high on suspicion of disease. Yesterday a professional discussion was held on positive cases and I hope within two weeks We can use them for the benefit of the green mark. "
"There could be use of PCR tests or speed tests at the entrance to the event, but right now with 4,000-3,000 verified per day, using PCR for a green mark will flood the test system and the time to get a result will increase to 48 hours, the test system will get stuck and we will not break chains," she said. Alrei- Price.
She added: "Until today, if a positive test was performed in rapid tests, it would be tested immediately by PCR and the situation in which a quick antigen test without PCR should be performed - what happens in a positive test, whether a person immediately goes into isolation and more. Antigen tests are very good At the beginning of the disease they detect the increase in protein, but then a person can be ill for 8-10 days and his antigen will be negative. In a situation where a person will use this test data for several days it may be inaccurate and rely on an irrelevant test. PCR will be for 48 hours and the quick test will be valid for 24 hours. "
MK Stern: "Allow students group isolation"
MK Shevach Stern (Likud) proposed allowing students group isolation instead of home isolation: "In the tables of the Ministry of Health, we see that to date 9 have died under the age of 19. This is 0.003% of the data on the deaths.
I guess there is also a correlation for severe patients.
So the isolation of the capsules disables a large part of the economy and studies.
Perhaps instead the isolation will be in the home or classroom where the student is studying, since the students in this capsule have already been exposed to it.
Allow those exposed to come from home to school only.
Dr. Elrai Price replied: "The morbidity in children is mostly asymptomatic and mild, but we do not know what the long-term effects of this disease are and whether there will be longer effects - so this should be treated with caution.
Until herd immunity is reached, there could still be outbreaks that endanger infected people and children as well as at-risk populations. "
Referring to the traffic light policy, she said: "We see that the traffic light is problematic because it changes quickly and does not allow stability for parents to plan ahead. On the one hand they want an up-to-date traffic light and on the other they want to give the system preparation time and appeal time. A safe classroom mechanism, detached from the traffic light. Like his green daughter we give a protection factor, we want to produce the same thing in schools, and consider a different reference to a classroom where many families are vaccinated, or have a high percentage of recovering.
11th and 12th grades, where 90% of vaccinated people will be able to study more openly without capsules. "
In response to MK Michal Kotler Wensch (blue and white), who asked why no green card would be given to people who enter the country after completing the Pfizer vaccine given in the country, she said: "During the epidemic we saw a lot of PCR forgeries, recovery certificates and more. Vaccine endangers all people who come, until there are reciprocal agreements with these countries, a person is required for a serological examination according to a list of laboratories on the Ministry of Health website and receiving a green mark. "She added that a finger test similar to a sugar test is promoted. And release from isolation. "
