The IDF recommends that the Ministry of Health turn the army into the body that will lead the national vaccination campaign.

What is a “shared car price list”? How will the prices be displayed in the price list? All the details Chat or phone: Why don't 'Maccabi' members have to run to the emergency room for everything? 

A senior official said today (Sunday) that Health Ministry Director General Prof. Hezi Levy is inclined to agree with the recommendation.

""It is likely that we will establish a vaccination system. This is a major operation, with the required achievement of maximum vaccinations in minimum time and throughout the country," the military official said. "The IDF has the capabilities to carry it out.".

The IDF says that the number of daily tests will increase this month from 60-70 thousand tests per day to the capacity to sample about 100 thousand people daily - with the transition to three sampling companies that won the tender and will replace MDA next week.

""We already have 3,000 epidemiological researchers working and the emphasis is on improving the quality of the investigation," the source noted. "Some of the people being investigated initially said they had no contact with others, but in the last two weeks, with the improvement in the investigations, the figure has increased from four to 11 contacts on average among 40% respondents, and another 5-6 contacts among 40% additional people.

""According to studies, effective breaking of the chain of transmission comes from reaching 18 contacts, and that is a goal we have set for ourselves.".
