The fifth wave certainly did not miss the Knesset of Israel, which has become a major focus • These are the MKs' proposals for a new hope for reducing morbidity


During the Omicron wave, the daily verified number in Israel reached more than 70,000 people.

Hegel did not miss the Knesset either, and since its inception, the Knesset has been a major focus for contagion.

One by one, the workers of the Mishkan became infected - security guards, clerks, kitchen workers and more.

Members of the Knesset and ministers also tweeted in turn that they were positive about Corona.

A total of 52 Knesset members and deputy ministers were infected with the corona virus as of the time of closing, two of them - Yoav Ben-Zur (Shas) and Israel Eichler (Torah Judaism) - were infected twice.

Only in the current wave, last January, did the following ministers and Knesset members get infected: Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Yair Lapid, Defense Minister Bnei Gantz, Deputy Foreign Minister Idan Roll, Minister of Internal Security Amar Bar-Lev, Minister of Construction and Housing Zeev Elkin, Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman, Minister of Culture Hili Trooper, and MKs Michael Bitton, Yom Tov Kalfon, Israel Eichler, Yoav Ben Tzur, Haim Katz, Ofir Katz, Etty Atiya, Osama Saadi, Ofir Sofer, Yitzhak Pindros, Dudi Amsalem, Moshe Kinley Tor-Paz, Meir Porush, Abtisam Maraana, Ruth Wasserman Landa, Alex Kushnir, Naama Lazimi, Miki Zohar, Michael Malkieli, Gila Gamliel, Yulia Malinovsky and Bezalel Smutrich.

The entrance procedures to the Mishkan have been sharpened - the guest entrances and entrances to the Knesset plenum have been reduced, the Knesset buffets have been closed for sitting and are currently run in a takeaway format, and the Knesset Guard is instructed to wear masks.

New infections every day

The notices of new infections in the Legislature continue to reach the Mishkan staff by e-mail every day, detailing the names of the infected, their position and the date when they last stayed in the Knesset.

Recently, MK Zvi Hauser sent a letter to Knesset Director General Gil Segal, in which he raised "some ideas that should be adopted and urgently needed, both for the optimal functioning of the Knesset and as a compass for the proper functioning of a large and public workplace in the midst of an epidemic."

In the letter, which was received by "Israel Today", Hauser listed four recommendations: installation of air purification devices in common areas, opening and winding of the outdoor areas in the Knesset, placing a checkpoint in the Mishkan, and concentrating the purchase of masks in a recognized standard.

Hauser, who serves as Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, raised the issue again in the forum attended by the Knesset Director General, and was told that his recommendations were acceptable and would be promoted as quickly as possible.

The MDA position was indeed established in the Knesset and even helped to find several verified people in the Mishkan, including MK Pindros, who was examined at the position when he planned to go to the funeral of the late Ora Herzog, but the other recommendations have not yet been promoted.

The outdoor areas have not been used due to the stormy weather in the past week, and as far as air purifiers and uniform masks are concerned, the Knesset section will continue to update.

MK Zvi Hauser told Israel Today: "The corona waves are hitting us again, and the Knesset and all of us need to adapt to this.

The Knesset has open and beautiful spaces, it is possible and necessary to use them for work and meeting spaces.

I am sure that towards the spring, Knesset members will discover places they do not yet know. "

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
