Prime Minister Bennett instructed in the daily assessment of the national action team to deal with the corona virus that progress should be made in stopping student isolation in green cities as early as next week.
He said:
I want to find a solution to bring forward the exemption from isolation for students in green cities, and not to wait until October 15 - but to present something smart and effective even before. "

He explained: "The principle is tests instead of isolations. For example, I would like to find a solution to bring forward the exemption from isolations for school students in green cities, by education kindergarten staff, who will perform physical examinations in classrooms.
I ask you to come up with solutions.
I want to give peace of mind to parents who can go to work and send their children to school, and end the period of uncertainty.
We need to adapt to a declining morbidity trend, and on the other hand not allow mass infections.
There is a delicate balance here. "

Just yesterday, just yesterday Dr. Sharon Elrai Price, head of public health services, expressed reservations in News 12 about changing the policy without accepting the results of the Green Class Pilot.
It's still unvaccinated children, "said Dr. Elrai Price in a savings plan.
"We want to see the pilot data, if later on the prime minister decides he wants to move forward with changing the isolation policy, regardless of the pilot - that's something else. We as professionals and health professionals, need to look at the data."
Apart from Dr. Sharon Elrai Price, Corona Commissioner Prof. Salman Zarka is already opposed to the change in policy.
