The Israeli Army (IDF), who declared’collective immunity’ through the Corona 19 vaccination, is entering an experiment to remove the mask, which is a means of personal quarantine.
According to local media such as the Jerusalem Post on the 4th (local time), the Israeli Ministry of Health and military authorities are conducting an experiment on non-wearing masks for some units from the 5th. The test subjects were units with more than 90% of the total medical history, one week after completing the second dose of the Corona 19 vaccine or the proportion of soldiers who recovered after infection.
In these units, soldiers will not wear masks during field training and activities for the next three months. However, wear a mask during indoor training and activities. The military authorities decided to report the corona 19 infection status of the unit to be tested on a weekly basis, and to continue the experiment only if the incidence rate remains below the standard value. If the number of confirmed cases rapidly increases, report the situation immediately and stop the experiment.
Prior to this, IDF declared on the 11th of last month to reach collective immunity, saying that 81% of the total number of people who have completed vaccination and who have recovered after COVID-19 infection reached 81% of the total medical history. At the time, IDF said that units with an inoculation rate of more than 90% could resume meetings and training. On this day, Israel allowed restaurants, hotels, museums, and theaters to reopen after more than half of the total population (9.3 million) had completed the first dose of Corona 19 and the number of new confirmed cases dropped sharply.
In Israel, as of that day, more than 5257,000 people, over 56% of the total population, have completed the first dose of the Corona 19 vaccine, and about 4816,000 people, close to 52%, have completed the second dose. Reporter Yoon Yeo-jin, some Yonhap News
