Coronavirus cabinet meeting delayed

The cabinet secretary says a meeting of the so-called coronavirus cabinet on steps to reopen the economy has been delayed pending the completion of a series of consultations.

He does not say when the meeting, which was slated to convene today at 3 p.m., is expected to take place, but Netanyahu and Health Minister Yuli Edelstein have sought to push it off till Thursday.

The health minister is saying that the daily infection rate is still too high to merit discussions on lifting the lockdown.
