Deputy health minister: We were already aware of report’s findings, are working to address them

Deputy Health Minister Yoav Kisch says the government was already aware of many of the details about the rise in coronavirus cases contained in a dire report released earlier today, and is taking steps to deal with them.

In an interview with Channel 13 news, Kisch says the health system is now better equipped to deal with the pandemic than it was in March, when Israel saw its first major outbreak of COVID-19.

He also says he and Health Minister Yuli Edelstein want a thriving economy and don’t want to reimpose sweeping lockdown measures.
