Erdan said to abstain on vote for requiring all arrivals to quarantine at hotels

Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan abstained during the cabinet vote on requiring all overseas arrivals to be quarantined at a state-run hotel, according to Hebrew media reports.

Erdan argued the policy was illogical and that there would be a fresh outbreak of COVID-19 if people sick with the virus are not required to leave their homes for a hotel, the Kan public broadcaster says.

He also reportedly asserted that the government was dealing with minor matters and not addressing the heart of the problem.
