The military announces it will distribute rapid antigen tests for kids up to 3-years-old, as part of new quarantine rules for schoolchildren that emphasize increased home testing.
A statement from the Israel Defense Forces says the test kits will also be given to preschool staff.
“The IDF will continue to undertake the national mission of cutting the chain of infection and helping all citizens and the state,” the statement says.
