Two brigade commanders in the Gaza Division, the Northern Brigade and the Southern Brigade, have been found positive for Corona in recent days.
The two were vaccinated with two doses of the corona vaccine and do not feel any symptoms of the disease, but they stay in isolation in their home so that they do not infect other soldiers.
Although these are different divisions, the two headquarters are at the division headquarters in a bad camp, and this is probably the reason for the infection of both.
Eight other officers at the brigade headquarters were found positive for the virus, but the IDF says that after extensive tests conducted today, it seems that the chain of infection has been stopped at this time. The
IDF spokesman said that In contact and with other infected people, they are vaccinated twice, but as a precaution, all the officers who came in contact with them were sent. "
The IDF emphasized that "there is no harm to the operational competence in the sector."

The commander of the northern brigade was diagnosed positive for Corona as early as Saturday, and his colleague in the division, the commander of the neighboring southern brigade, was found positive yesterday, and their deputies in both sectors fill in their gaps.
The infection at the Gaza Division headquarters came against the background of the increase in morbidity in the army in recent days.
For the first time in six months, the number of IDF verified people will cross the 700 mark. The number of soldiers, permanent personnel and civilian IDF employees diagnosed positive for the virus is 696. For the first time in many months, the condition of one of the permanent personnel has deteriorated and he is defined as seriously ill. , When the rest of the verified are easily defined and most of the soldiers have no symptoms.
In recent days, the extent of morbidity in the army has risen and "aligned" with the increase in infection in the country.
The IDF hopes that due to the rate of vaccinated in the army, which stands at 80%, combined with the young age of most servicemen, the extent of morbidity and contagion will be reduced. There is no significant disruption to the military routine due to the corona.

Open and further actions will be taken, such as closing the swimming pools and returning to work shifts in capsules.
