Israel has long been a leader in the prevention of the Coronavirus infection.
It is a country known to have a large percentage of its nationals vaccinated against the Coronavirus.
Here is an interesting protocol applied in Israel:
The leaders have limited “entry to any indoor event with 100 people to attendees with valid vaccination cards, certificates of recovery, or recent negative COVID tests.
In addition, limits to entry will also be imposed, regardless of number of attendees, on all sports and cultural events, gyms, restaurants, and dining halls, conferences, synagogues . . . .” (1)
Personally, this was a tactic that I thought would be great early on in the Coronavirus surge:
For those who’ve had the virus and can prove recovery with a validated doctor’s script or now, for those who are fully vaccinated, allowing these individuals access to larger gatherings, etc. (e.g. – sports programs, larger social events, etc.) Obviously, for those at high risk, they should personally abstain from such gatherings (or those who have higher risk household members and contacts.)
