Deputy health chief says doesn’t believe nighttime curfew will curb infections
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDeputy Health Minister Yoav Kisch tells Channel 12 news that he doesn’t believe a three-week nightly curfew set to begin tomorrow will not help curb rising COVID-19 infections.
Kisch says the Health Ministry recommends shuttering everything except schools and businesses that don’t receive in-person customers.
Despite health officials questioning the efficacy of curfews, Kisch said last week there’s a “logic” to such a measure over Hanukkah.
His comments came ahead of a cabinet meeting this evening, during which ministers are expected to approve the curfew after it received initial backing from the coronavirus cabinet last night.
