From Coronavirus czar blames schools for nationwide virus outbreak
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleCoronavirus czar Ronni Gamzu is attributing the sharp rise in cases across the country to the opening of schools on September 1.
According to Channel 12, Gamzu reportedly says in a closed-door meeting that while younger children are less likely to infect others, those over the age of 10 are rapidly spreading the disease.
“A ten-year-old infects others like an adult,” he is quoted saying.
He says the upcoming lockdown will be effective in driving down infection rates — if only because it shutters the schools.
