IDF is preparing for November recruitment to to avoid mass infection of the soldiers

The army is extensively preparing for the Soldiers  recruitment of month of November, which is considered to grow by a year, in the shadow of the fear of high morbidity in the corona of teenagers who come from their homes carrying the virus. The head of the IDF's Technology and Logistics Division (ATL), Maj. Gen. Yitzhak Turgeman, held a situation assessment last night (Thursday) with the division's senior officer against the background of the decision not to stop the upcoming IDF recruitments.
At the beginning of the assessment of the situation, the morbidity data in the IDF were presented, which currently has 1,301 sick soldiers and 9,600 isolated. A senior IDF officer emphasized that the soldiers from the various BADs do not meet each other and that in each BAD there is a separation between the various companies.
The fear that fresh soldiers would come from home carrying the virus led Turgeman to order the opening of a unique facility for soldiers in need of isolation at a hostel in Mitzpe Ramon, which contains about 300 beds. This is to provide a solution close to the city of the Baha'is and to allow the training to continue. Thus, soldiers who must be isolated will not be housed in the training camp and will not disrupt the routine and training process, but will move to a nearby hostel under IDF commanders
According to the plan, those with symptoms will be examined and if patients are found, they will move to the two additional facilities under the command of Colonel Yuval Ran: the recovering village in Ashkelon with 480 beds and about 350 patients, or the Givat Olga holiday village with 650 beds.
Turgeman also assumed that HD 6 would help manage the holiday village in Ashkelon and HD 20 would help manage the village in Givat Olga, which opened last week. Fearing that the morbidity in the IDF will increase during the winter, the army is considering opening additional facilities, and call options are already being examined.
The senior officer stressed that in addition to opening the third facility for soldiers in solitary confinement, which will enable regular activities in the training camp, he will also reduce the friction between IDF soldiers and civilians - after a significant number of soldiers were sent to solitary confinement in Israeli parents' homes.
