Last week, Bennett decided to continue with the existing corona policy that does not restrict gatherings, contrary to the opinion of all senior Ministry of Health officials.

This, following data presented to him by researchers from the Hebrew University, which show a declining trend in infection rates, which according to the forecast will keep the decline in infections in the coming days, and will also lead to a decrease in the new serious illness.



Prior to Bennett's decision to pursue the existing policy, the Ministry of Health's expert cabinet recommended imposing a crowd limit of 300 people in enclosed spaces.

Experts stressed that closure is not on the agenda, yet it makes no sense to hold large gatherings in favor of cultural and sporting events during a period of uncontrolled infection peak, with dozens of young patients coming for treatment in a critical condition daily.

Last week, there was embarrassment over the anonymous briefings by a "senior government official" recently heard against the head of public health services, Dr. Sharon Elrai-Price, when according to sources, the person behind them is the prime minister himself. Horowitz responded to Elrai Price and said that "captures public servants is strictly prohibited and eradicate it from the political discourse in Israel."



Shortly thereafter, published Horowitz and health Ministry Director-General Dr. Nachman Ash Lalrai an additional backup-Price. "The Minister of Health and the director general of the ministry would like to make it clear that they give full backing to the head of the ministry's public health services, Dr. Sharon Elrai-Price, who does night work with professional work and great talent," they said. "We are attentive to factual criticism and persist in striving for optimal transparency and information, but we will not pass over in silence about personal and baseless attacks on our dedicated employees. Dr. Price and all her colleagues in the ministry will continue to work for public health in Israel.With professionalism and without fear. "



The attacks on Elrai Price came a day after the Ministry of Health's expert cabinet convened, concluding that the government's approach to managing the corona plague according to the number of serious patients is "dangerous".

The panel of experts stated at the hearing that updating the outline for the education system is critical, as "the government's outline of education does not include most of the components that were planned to be included by the Ministry of Health, and there are minimal tools to reduce infections." In order not to impose the minimum congestion limit, it is unlikely that the experts know. "
