"It's like repairing and refueling a plane at takeoff," the security official explained, "we were in a state of 10,000 samples a day and within two weeks we were at 80,000 samples a day." It is estimated that within two weeks the number of tests may increase to 130,000 a day, with the potential to reach 150,000, if necessary, with the laboratories analyzing almost all the tests (about 98%) within 24 hours.
According to the security source, the forecast is that each week the number of people infected will increase by 25%. "In two weeks we will stand on 3,000 infected without a doubt. How difficult? Not clear. Probably much less than we initially thought. Is the vaccine effective? Yes. As we want? Not necessarily. What will lower the number of infected? Mask and social distance.

The procedure and the payment for it have not yet been agreed, as well as the ways of transmitting the information, but the details are expected to be closed soon, in accordance with the directive of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on the matter.
