Some (vague) highlights of the new coronavirus plan

A flyer put out by the Health Ministry lays out Prof. Ronni Gamzu’s coronavirus plan, with several points, some of them quite vague. Among the highlights:

  • Moving responsibility for contact tracing and isolation to the IDF
  • More masks, distancing and hygiene. “A minimum of restriction, maximum impact.”
  • More testing.
  • Unified forecasts and publication of data on R-naught.
  • A barometer for communities and hospitals.
  • A “traffic light” for local authorities, together with the Home Front Command, presumably meaning a colored tracking system to judge whether they are outbreak centers.
  • More oversight.
  • A panel of experts.
