The Corona Cabinet will convene today (Sunday) for a crucial discussion on the outline for the opening of the school year, while most of the ministers and senior officials of the Ministry of Health believe that there is no need to postpone the opening date of the year.

This, following the slowdown in the rate of morbidity last weekend.



Two issues will be put to a vote in the debate, and ministers will vote on whether the education system will act on them.

One, a green class outline that will begin a pilot after the Tishrei holidays, which includes weekly corona tests in elementary school classrooms in red cities, and in the case of a patient invention verified rapid tests for the entire class every day.



The second issue deals with middle and high school classes: beyond zoom in the case of less than 70% immunization in strata in red cities.

In addition, each parent will be asked to perform a rapid test for their child 24 hours before September 1, so that they find as many patients as possible who will not enter the school gates and avoid isolation already in the first days.

The Minister of Education, Yifat Shasha Bitton, will request that the vaccinations be completed by 09:00 in the morning and then the school day will continue as usual, but it is likely that this will not be possible due to the logistical problems.



Also, at the request of the Minister of Education, for the first time the Cabinet Ministers will hear directly the representatives of parents, teachers, students and professionals from the field of education who will attend the Cabinet meeting and reflect their position on various issues as emerging from the field in the last year and a half.

Expanding the operation of serological tests

At the same time, today the serological testing operation will be expanded to the general sector in order to locate corona recoverers aged 12-3, so that they will not have to go into isolation in case of contact with a verified and reduce the number of isolations in the education system.



The serological test is actually a blood test that involves a needle puncture and is performed free of charge.

Tomorrow the checkpoints will be concentrated in the south - Ashkelon, Omar and the Bedouin diaspora from 19: 00-13: 00.

Later in the week it will reach other areas of the country as detailed on the map.

For this operation, another 6,000 soldiers from the Home Front Command were recruited to carry out as wide a deployment as possible.

In the last two weeks, the operation was conducted in the ultra-Orthodox sector and yielded less percentages than expected.

The Ministry of Education and Health predicts that there will be between 20% -30% of students who will find recovery in these tests, but on average there are currently only 18%.

The ultra-Orthodox cities were strongholds of disease, so in general society the percentage is expected to even drop to 15% in total.
