Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Naftali Bennett apologizes for claiming during today’s cabinet meeting that two British boys who died due to complications from the coronavirus had been infected with the Omicron variant.
Bennett tweets that he was made aware afterward that the boys were infected with another strain of COVID-19.
“Either way, the coronavirus endangers us and our children. I call on all parents: protect your children and protect them from the coronavirus and its variety of variants,” he says.
