Despite coronavirus czar Ronni Gamzu saying school in high infection zones cannot open, Education Minister Yoav Gallant says he is forging ahead with his plan to open all schools on Tuesday morning.

“I promised it and I made it happen, classes will begin tomorrow and will happen as normal in every educational institution according to our secure learning plan,” he says, according to Walla news.

Opposition chief Yair Lapid attacks the government over the confusion wrought by the warring officials. “Twelve hours before the start of school and there are kids who still don’t know if they are going or not,” he says.
