Four weeks ago, Israel celebrated the return of normal life in his battle with Covid-19. After a quick vaccination drive that has lowered the infection and death of Coronavirus, Israel has stopped wearing a face mask and leaving all the social blasphemy rules. Then the Delta variant was more contagious, and a surge in cases that had forced Prime Minister Naftali Bennett to resolve several Covid-19 restrictions and the strategy of rethinking.
Under what he calls the “soft suppression” policy, the government wants the Israelites to learn to live with viruses – involves a little possible restrictions and avoids the fourth national locking that can do damage to the economy further. Like most Israelis in the risk group have now been vaccinated against Covid-19, Bennett relies on fewer people than before falling illness when infection rises.
“Applying a strategy will require a certain risk but in the overall consideration, including economic factors, this is the balance needed,” Bennett said last week. The main indicator that guides steps is the number of severe Covid-19 cases in the hospital, currently around 45. Implementation will require monitoring of infection, encourage vaccination, fast testing and information campaigns about facial masks.
This strategy has attracted comparisons with the plan of the British government to reopen the UK economy from locking, even though Israel is in the process of recovering several sidewalks while London raises restrictions. Restored restrictions include the use of facial masks in the room and quarantine for everyone who arrived in Israel.
Bennett’s strategy, like the British government, has been questioned by several scientists. The Ministry of Health Israel advocates more than encouragement of infections originating, Sharon Alroy-Preis, head of public health at the Israeli Ministry of Health, told radio right on Sunday. “It might not have a big increase in severe pain but the price makes such a mistake that is what is worried about us,” he said.
