I am confident that by joining forces we will be able to stop the pandemic, lead normal lives, and maintain the health of all of us.".
Minister of Health: "Dr. Sharon Al-Rai constitutes a significant reinforcement for the ministry's health services system and for actions to break the chain of infection. In this, she joins two additional significant reinforcements that I have brought in recent weeks: the ministry's Director General, Prof. Levy, and the project manager, Prof. Gamzo. I am certain that the three of them together, as responsible - each in their own field - for the fight against the coronavirus, will bring good news to the citizens of Israel in intensive activity against the coronavirus.".

Director General of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Hezi Levy: "We would like to thank Prof. Sigal Sadetzky for her work at the Ministry of Health for public health, especially during the Corona pandemic. We wish her success in her future endeavors. Public health issues are one of the core concerns of the Ministry of Health in its daily routine and affect each and every one of us in the personal sphere and in the areas of services we receive.
""Dr. Sharon Alrai Price will be able to contribute greatly from her rich experience and, together with the Ministry of Health management and the doctors, nurses and doctors in the districts, will strengthen both the fight against the coronavirus pandemic and the treatment, especially in her areas of expertise.".
