Reminder that when this lockdown was declared due to skyrocketing infection rates the government and the Ministry of Health wanted to close schools. The Ministry of Education opposed closing schools and the Knesset Education Committee vetoed the government decision, forcing schools and kindergartens to remain open.
So despite the supposed lockdown schools were (except in red zones) operating as usual, with the following results:
"Health Ministry data shows that one in three confirmed cases in recent weeks are below the age of 20 and one in eight are below the age of ten.
According to Education Ministry, there were 23,549 students who tested positive — 4,000 of whom are in preschool, 11,680 in elementary school and nearly 8,000 in high school."
