Israel Shield (Hebrew: מגן ישראל) is Israel's national program to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Spearheaded by the Ministry of Health, it is led by a "COVID czar," a position that, since June 2021, is held by Salman Zarka.[1][2] The institution of the program coincided with the absorption of the March 2020 Emergency directives to fight the Coronavirus [he] into the July 2020 Special powers to deal with the new Coronavirus [he] legislation (also known informally as the "Great Coronavirus Law").[3]
