Obligation to isolate returnees from abroad? Only a third comply with the directive – this is clear from an analysis of the traffic indices carried out by the neura company for the Ministry of Health.
The company’s data published this morning (Friday) also shows that last week there was a 12.5% decrease in the percentage of citizens who insist on home insulation. This is despite the fact that about a month ago the government ordered an obligation of isolation for all Israelis returning to Israel from all countries following the mutations in the corona virus that were discovered around the world.
Dr. Zeev Feldman, chairman of the State Physicians Association, director of the pediatric neurosurgery unit in Sheba and acting chairman of the RAI, commented this morning on the data: After about a year, we realized that the state cannot or does not want to enforce the precautionary rules that it itself sets. “
Dr. Feldman added: “Every one of us who breaks the rules – because no one will catch him – is responsible for the tens of thousands of those infected, the patients in a difficult and critical situation in the hospitals, and the dead. Those who do not remain in isolation are ultimately responsible for the infection of their father and mother and the death of grandparents. “
832 verified came from Turkey, 679 from the UAE and 588 from the United States. In addition, the highest verified rate of all returnees from all countries was recorded among those who came from Ukraine, Moldova and Bulgaria – more than 2% of them were found to be positive. The rate of verified returnees from the UAE – 1.74%.
