Ex-national security official: Readiness for virus was ‘low to nonexistent’
The former deputy head of the National Security Council, Ze’ev Tzuk-Ram, tells the Ynet news site the Health Ministry’s handling of the coronavirus has shown its readiness was “low to nonexistent.”
Tzuk-Ram says the ministry’s administration “needs to look internally and check why it did not prepare itself for this type of scenario and what the failures were — and there were many failures — and to prepare to fix them immediately.”
He says Israel is “going to be under this coronavirus for a long time… all year and maybe further.”
