Economy minister warns of ‘confusion’ if new health regulations imposed
As the meeting of the coronavirus cabinet continues, ministers are divided on whether to impose additional restrictions.
Economy Minister Amir Peretz opposes it.
“We cannot change decisions that were made a few days ago,” he says, according to the Kan public broadcaster. “If we release new decisions, we’ll create confusion. The public is internalizing the rules and starting to implement them. There is no reason that after five days we should have new instructions.”
Social Equality Minister Merav Cohen, however, says there is no choice but to introduce “drastic” measures to drive down infections, Army Radio reports.
