"It is inconceivable that we will all be sitting closed in our homes and only special education teachers will go to schools and kindergartens," said Yafeh Ben David, Director-General of the Teachers Union, in a letter to Health Minister Yuli Edelstein.
Ben David stressed that special education schools cannot avoid contact and closeness between staff and students and these schools serve children from multiple cities and districts, warning that this could lead to an increase in infections among the general public and the staff and children.
