“Closing the sky now is like putting an artery blocker. We had continuous bleeding that needed to be treated, that patients came in all the time all the time when they did not properly treat the gap at Ben Gurion Airport, what next? Today the bluff was exposed, it’s not that they close for a few days but plan to close for a month. What have we offered the professionals for several months that needs to be done and will allow the opening of the airport in safe conditions? “An epidemiological unit of the Ministry of Health should be set up at Ben Gurion Airport. We need to get down to the small details, a person does a test before he gets on a plane and arrives, those who are positive know how to isolate him,” Levin said.

“The amazing thing is how in brutal enforcement you do not care what you really need to worry about. A person who spreads disease is a person who is the place to punish, and people will know that they not only endangered others but will pay a very heavy price and it will deter, but it does not. “As human beings, then they also understand that there is a real problem here. When you treat people with respect, with a healthy attitude, then they also act responsibly. When you make everyone criminal, then that’s how people behave,” he added.

On the mutations to the virus and the resistance of the vaccines to them, Prof. Levin said: “The danger is always in front of us, in the meantime to the best of our knowledge the vaccine is effective against all existing variants. Certainly there may be a variant that is less effective against it.”

In addition, Israir’s VP of marketing, Gil Stav, also referred to the closure of the sky: “No one believed that the crisis would reach these dates, there is no doubt that this is the most difficult situation we have been in since the beginning of the crisis.”
