At the Alon headquarters in the Home Front Command, efforts are being expanded to curb the corona virus, in light of the recent outbreaks of the Delta strain across the country. "The increase in morbidity is much higher compared to what we expected," says a senior official at the headquarters, "because it is not just in children." He stressed that the headquarters is conducting "aggressive operations", which include sending epidemiological investigations and sampling to each outbreak point, and even increasing the number of investigators by about 500. However, for now there is no intention to recruit more soldiers, as he says the civilian companies operating under the command of the headquarters are "more efficient".
"When we had 10 infections a day, we did not leave 3,000 researchers - now we are increasing the number of researchers," the senior official notes. "We currently have a total of 150 nurses, another 300 selectors who worked with us in the past, and are now retraining and returning them to work. In addition, there are 100 soldiers from the" Ella "unit (for epidemiological investigations) out of a total of 350 soldiers and officers at Alon Headquarters." .
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health updated today (Monday) that in the last day, 145 people in Israel have been diagnosed as positive for the corona virus, so that there are 1,254 active patients, including 22 critically ill patients. Among the verified, there are 11 soldiers and two civilian IDF workers who were at the bases, including three soldiers from one unit, and a soldier who has already recovered from the virus, received a "booster" vaccine in accordance with Ministry of Health guidelines - and yet it happened again.
According to the senior official, the big challenge is to return the workers from the local authorities to Alon headquarters: "We want to return hundreds, but the situation has changed since when the economy was closed and many people had nothing to do - it was easy. Now it's a little different.
He also says that this coming Sunday, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is expected to convene the heads of the authorities for a conversation and harness them to fight the spread of the virus. At the same time, in accordance with the assessment of the situation between Commander-in-Chief Uri Gordin and the Ministry of Health, it was decided that the IDF would not recruit reservists, except for a number of commanding officers in the districts.
The senior official at the headquarters referred to the long queues in recent days at the sampling stations around the country: "In the coming days we will increase to 50,000 corona tests a day. We will solve the unpleasant feeling of the queues. Also at Ben Gurion Airport. For any person who will have to do an examination in immediate periods of time on the same day - a result of the examination immediately. "
A senior medical officer said last night (Sunday) that the IDF has taken preventive measures following the increase in morbidity in the country and the slight increase in morbidity in the army, and instructed units to wear masks in discussions, classrooms and halls - Before returning to the units.
"Most patients are infected at home. Not in the unit," said a senior medical officer, adding that the symptoms also changed: He noted that similar to previous morbidity waves, "Only after 10 days will we know what this variant is doing. Will the morbidity wave deteriorate, or will it be as mild as it currently looks." He also stressed that the Delta strain raises concerns about a new and even more efficient variant that will break out in a few months: "There is a rapid evolution here."
