Time and again, experts have concluded that the most effective way of stopping the spread of the virus is by isolating those infected and those who have been exposed as quickly as possible, but unfortunately, according to the comptroller’s report released in October, health authorities tasked with tracking the spread have been slow to act.
This online course, which is called MDA’s Coronavirus Ambassadors program, provides a general introduction to the coronavirus and teaches how to break the chain of infection, as well as basic hygiene and how to cope with the effects of social restrictions. The course is presented by Magen David Adom in coordination with the local council, Education Ministry, the Workers Union, Army Radio and other agencies. It is being offered for free for a limited time.
“In wars, we teach preparedness for earthquakes,” said Dr. Eli Jaffe, Deputy Director General of Magen David Adom, “and in this war, we teach the public how to break the chain of infection.”
