Against the background of the continuing increase in the morbidity of the corona virus in Israel, the government is convening at this time to discuss a variety of issues, including the amendments to the Corona affairs.
At the beginning of the cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett spoke: "Regarding children - we are attentive to the plight of the public and also live it closely. I also have four children to check at home. We worked during the Sabbath to find solutions.
I can announce that free kits will currently be provided to students.
Every child in Israel - in kindergartens and elementary schools, as well as teaching staff - will receive three test kits in the coming days.
We took care ahead of time to transfer inventories to schools just for such a situation, and now these kits are being used to spot-lighten the burden on parents.
In addition, we are in contact with the pharma chains to lower the prices of the tests and we also intend to open the sale option in organizations or stores that are not just pharma.
In any case, prices will fall in the near future because the market will be flooded with millions of kits that will arrive in Israel. "
The government is also expected to discuss the transfer of the day care sector to the Ministry of Education, the appointment of a chairman and members of the Council of the Second Television and Radio Authority.
