The director general of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Nachman Ash, was interviewed this morning (Sunday) in the GLC and commented on the increase in the infection coefficient to 1: "As long as the coefficient remains the same and does not rise - everything is fine. It is disturbing, but it should be taken in proportion."
At the same time he said: "There is no doubt that the public feeling is that we are out of the fourth wave and that we are safe. It is time to go back and follow the guidelines, we do not want to go back to the restrictions."

Asked what the vaccine range will be among children, he replied: "Today there will be a discussion of the team of experts in treating epidemics. The dilemma is whether it is possible to rely on the data available in the world to spread the vaccines. Today we will make the decision Come next time. "

The head of the public health services, Dr. Sharon Elrai Price, also referred to the children's vaccine in an interview on the "This Morning" program and said: "I estimate that there will be a high response to the children's vaccine.
There are all sorts of slogans that corona is not a childhood disease.
It is true that it is more harmful to adults, but it can cause serious illness in children as well.
Both during the illness and in the side effects. "
She went on to describe the threats she was experiencing: "The threats continue even more. Nevertheless, it is still a handful of loud, abusive and violent people, but every other nine million Israeli citizens deserve to hear the truth from the Ministry of Health without fear."
