Gantz to Netanyahu: Steps to curb virus happening too slowly

Defense Minister Benny Gantz calls on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to convene the coronavirus cabinet as soon as possible to make decisions on Israel’s next steps on the pandemic.

Gantz says on Twitter: “We decided to speed up the closure of red cities (with high infection rates). It’s not happening at a satisfactory pace. We decided to raise fines — and that hasn’t happened either. We must not wait for next week. We must make simple, clear and responsible decisions.”
