The goal of the plan is to reduce morbidity and prevent the need to close institutions of learning.
Following are the details of the plan:
* Grades 8-12: In red cities, classes in which the vaccination rate is over 70% will have frontal learning; classes in which the vaccination rate is less than 70% will switch to online remote learning.
The vaccination threshold will include vaccinated pupils, pupils who have recovered and pupils with positive serological (antibody) test results.
* Grades 1-7 will operate according to the 'Magen Chinuch' plan.
