Gamzu, the coronavirus czar, says that if the cabinet meeting is postponed to Thursday, the lockdown will have to be extended by a few days at least.

“Since everything is very fresh, I suppose I will have a conversation in the coming hours with the health minister and the prime minister, and decisions will be made,” he tells journalists in Jerusalem.

“I have to hear what they have to say,” he adds. “I haven’t yet been updated about the postponement of the cabinet meeting.

“I have a conversation scheduled with the prime minister and, obviously, if the cabinet meeting is pushed off to Thursday, we will have to extend the lockdown regulations by a few days.”
