The director-general of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Nachman Ash, referred in an interview on 103FM radio to the sharp rise in corona in the education system.

"We do not want to shut down the school system, it's a complex decision. We need to think about whether to allow testing and vaccinations or to move to a policy of moving to zoom studies," Ash said, adding: "For example, vaccinated children can come, and allow arrival with daily tests. These are things we are considering now."
