The Corona czar, Prof. Salman Zarka, referred to the new test outline in an interview on Reshet Bet.
"We will not know the extent of the division from the home antigen tests, but we have other ways of assessing what is happening with the outbreak. We are trying to bring in more companies to make the tests accessible and next week the deployment in the periphery will increase," Zarka said.
"We contacted the Ministry of Finance regarding the control of the prices of antigen tests. We need to make sure that the price is reasonable. In addition, we will increase the supply of tests done in the various companies, next week the number of stations where there will be free tests will increase," he added.
