Leading expert in the field Professor. Yehuda Adler Praises MDA’s Life Saving Measures
This Sunday morning was the first day students between 1st and 3rd grade returned to school, despite the major concerns debating if this is the right step to take, or will it lead to another rapid spread. Professor Yehuda Adler, dean of faculty for health, Academy for law and business in Ramat Gan and chairman of the European Cardiovascular and Myocardial Disease Association, along with a colleague, were invited to speak at Ynet about the situation.
Both support the decision and continue to explain that children are not the face of this virus. Considering the number of children infected is as low as 1% and the cases tend to be more mild. Professor Adler goes on to say that the Ministry of Health is operating on fear and misinformation. To the point where the public is in doubt due to the mass hysteria they are spreading.
It is important to understand the return of students to school is important and the correct thing to do.
We can also see from around the world the effects of these steps, and that it has not been a dramatic increase. For example, in Denmark the number rose from 0.6 to 0.9, but it is still under control. It is important however to remind the public of these 4 important things: Mask, Hygiene, Social distancing and no close interactions. These precautions will protect the health of the general public.
The return of students to school will help us all return to our normal routines and lives. It is important to remember that children are not at high risk of spreading or contracting the virus. The more serious cases are seen with elederly and pre existing conditions.
