Gantz says additional virus hotspots to be placed under lockdown

Defense Minister Benny Gantz warns the government will lock down additional “red” cities with high rates of coronavirus infection.

During a tour of the Jerusalem municipality with Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn, Gantz also urges Israelis to cooperate with contact tracing efforts.

“We will impose a lockdown on other red cities in order to be able to open up other places. The public must cooperate with the [epidemiological] investigations, they aren’t giving us the full picture,” says Gantz.
