Israel’s coronavirus czar, Prof. Salman Zarka, met on Monday evening with the heads of the four health maintenance organizations and presented them with a schedule for the end of the unique treatment for COVID-19 cases.

• As of January 18, the Home Front Command’s COVID-19 test complexes will be closed and those who still need a test will do so at the HMOs.

At the end of January, the Home Front Command will finish dealing with issue related to COVID-19 altogether.

At that point, the coronavirus will be considered to be just like the flu, and the requirement for isolation after the virus is contracted will be completely abolished.

• The HMOs said they needed more time and budgets to deal with the situation, and the government is expected to approve a working plan.
