Full lifting of lockdown could take a year, Netanyahu said to warn
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly warns that the coronavirus lockdown may last months or even up to a year, Channel 12 reports.
Netanyahu is quoted as telling fellow ministers in the coronavirus cabinet this evening that “our exit strategy [from the lockdown] will be slow this time, and could take place over half a year or a year.”
The government has been criticized for a too-quick lifting of restrictions after the last lockdown in the spring, and for failing to reimpose restrictions when infection rates started to rise in July.
