Gamzu wants lockdown to remain fully in place in ‘red’ cities — reports

During the coronavirus cabinet meeting, virus czar Ronni Gamzu recommends that the current terms of the lockdown remain in effect in cities with high infection rates, even after the closure is eased in the rest of the country, according to leaks from the meeting carried by Hebrew media.

He lists a series of towns that would qualify as “red” under Health Ministry criteria, most of which have a sizeable ultra-Orthodox population.
