Elkin on government ‘exit strategy’: We’re running too fast

Concurring with National Security Adviser Meir Ben Shabbat who reportedly warned ministers against approving the further easing of virus-related restrictions, Likud minister Ze’ev Elkin tells Army Radio, “I feel like we are running a little too fast.”

“Only today are we seeing the results of the [strict] policy during Passover, and we need to understand how everything is works” before making additional decisions.

According to Channel 12, Ben Shabbat sent a letter to ministers earlier today telling them that they were too quickly approving roll-backs on virus-related restrictions and that the latest approvals by the cabinet risk a new outbreak of the virus.
