The Israeli army now has a military coronavirus "task force". It was formed last month to bring one of the developed world's worst outbreaks under control. Its main responsibility is taking the lead in contact tracing and breaking chains of infection. Working under the direction of the Health Ministry, the task force acts largely as a coordinator and support body for civilian authorities in four key areas. It is also working closely with municipalities, other government ministries, medical rescue services, police and public and private labs to help streamline the national response.
