Ending tenure, virus czar says communication with public is key

Ronni Gamzu holds a press conference as he ends his tenure as the government’s coronavirus czar.

Gamzu says it is critical that the government communicate well with the public. “That is the most important thing here.”

He says prior to his arrival in July the crisis “was not always fully managed,” and says the formation of a single managerial body separate from the Health Ministry or cabinet was very significant.

He says he believes the country must henceforth handle the pandemic using a localized approach based on infections in each community.
