From Deputy health minister: Virus rates are ‘on verge of being uncontrollable’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDeputy Health Minister Yoav Kisch urges Israelis to heed the lockdown rules, warning the virus rates are spiraling out of control.
He tells Channel 12 in an interview that “if in the end, Israelis look for ways to outsmart and violate it [the lockdown], then we won’t succeed in our mission.”
“I expect and hope that the public will understand the importance of the hour, understand we are hitting virus numbers that are on the verge of being uncontrollable,” he says.
He says the government “won’t make the mistake that we made after the first lockdown” and immediately lift all the restrictions.
Kisch says easing the rules will depend on the infection numbers in three weeks.
