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.
