At the same time, the senior official claimed that the claims of Ron Huldai, the mayor of Tel Aviv, regarding the delay in expanding the pilot to the kindergartens were also "unfamiliar."
On the other hand, Huldai said that "the bureaucracy has won the creativity. Unfortunately and despite our desire to start the outline of the green class tomorrow and the distribution of antigen tests in the city's kindergartens as well - the Ministry of Health does not allow us to do so.
At the same time, the fight against the corona virus continues, and this afternoon 2.5 million antigen test kits landed in Israel, purchased by the Control Center (UAV) at the Ministry of Health, following a directive from Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
An additional 4.7 million test kits will arrive in Israel tomorrow.
These assessments will be used to examine students in the education system, with the aim of realizing the outline of green classrooms and enabling the continuation of the routine of life for parents, students and the Israeli economy.
