"within a few days the public will be abale to undergo Corona tests without a referral

Within a few days, the entire public in Israel will be able to undergo corona tests without the need for a referral. In addition, each isolator will be able to perform two corona tests - one on the third day and the other on the tenth - and exit isolation after 12 days if they are negative. This was announced today (Tuesday) by the corona projector, Prof. Roni Gamzo, in a media briefing.
Gamzo said that the actual tests are tens of thousands lower than the test capacity, which is 70,000 a day, and any test that is not performed is a miss, he said. In addition, he announced that Bnei Brak, Beitar Illit, Modi'in Illit and Elad will be released from quarantine after becoming oranges. Gamzo also announced an increase in fines and criminal proceedings for those who improved the provisions, because, according to him, enforcement is not deterrent at the moment.

Data from the Ministry of Health show that almost fifteen hundred people were diagnosed with corona on Tuesday. By ten o'clock nine hundred and thirty-eight infected people had been diagnosed. Six hundred and fourteen patients are hospitalized in critical condition, two hundred and thirty-four of them breathing. Yesterday almost forty-one thousand eight hundred and eight hundred tests were done. Two thousand two hundred and seventy-eight people died from the outbreak of the plague in Israel
"We woke up this morning with 1,480 new verified. This number represents 5% -4% positive - 3.5% in the general population, 4.5% in Arab society, and close to 10% in ultra-Orthodox society," Gamzo said, but clarified that "the decline is in all sectors." This number includes 40,000 tests, of which 12,000 are survey tests for patriarchs, yeshiva students and kindergarten teachers. "
"Last week we saw a sharp and significant decline in red cities, mostly ultra-Orthodox cities. We thought this decline would lead the red cities to be orange, we continued the closure in a few days, with bright red cities should be in the form of closure - and indeed we saw ridges exit, more elite. Modi'in Illit, and this morning Bnei Brak is also descending to the orange area. This is great news for the mayors and residents. It is critical to continue managing the event with a lot of dedication. The Ministerial Committee for Restricted Areas accepted my recommendation to release the last four cities: And Bnei Brak, and only one neighborhood will remain in Jerusalem. "
Gamzo clarified that "We are currently on the decline, after at the peak we were with 9,000 verified a day when most cities are red, but it is important to understand that this does not mean there is a sedative alarm. The percentage of positive tests and the doubling ratio. "
At the briefing, Gamzo announced a new status: "flashing cities", explaining that "this means that the city moves to a multiplication factor close to 1 and sometimes crosses it - meaning it is on the rise - no matter if it is red, green or yellow. "Doubling is a warning sign for the city, and together with the Home Front Command and the HMOs we will all do the work. We must identify outbreaks, the location, investigate them thoroughly, identify more cases along with tests."
He added that "we have a plan to pounce on any city, neighborhood or region - even if there is a city with 15 or 20 verified cases - the disease can still jump and get out of control, so we are making every effort to create a combined effort of testing and investigations."
Regarding the tests, Gamzo said that "we have 70,000 tests and a little more than 80 and 100,000. A day with 50,000 tests is a waste of 30,000 intelligence squads, so it is important to be tested more and more. Today we made a decision throughout Israel: free sampling, Without a referral, inside the HMOs. The HMOs are prepared and will do so in the coming days. This is in addition to our onslaught on the flashing cities.
"I call on every citizen, even with the slightest suspicion, to ask yourself if there is a chance that you are infected. Everything is open and available, the answers within hours. This epidemic, probably in the second wave, is an epidemic that passes through young people and children "For the symptomatic stage in adults, as well as for hospitalization. Therefore, stopping the epidemic is diagnosis, knowledge and intelligence."

Regarding the date of his departure from the post next month, Gamzo said that "November 1 is not a holy date, but in November I must return to manage Ichilov. I will continue to be in touch and manage any task. The task is still complex and I will continue to be of help to anyone who asks."
Regarding the issue of the Home Front Command's epidemiological investigations, Gamzo said that "there are currently more than 2,200 investigators and hundreds of more interrogators, and there should be an addition of another regular battalion. It is an investigative force with the best resources in the world. Even with the best capability. For truncating the adhesive chain.
