Health minister reprimands MKs for not wearing face masks

Health Minister Yuli Edelstein, speaking in the Knesset plenum, chides lawmakers for failing to wear face masks.

MKs “walk around the Knesset without masks and call me ‘a pest’ when I tell them off,” says Edelstein, a former parliamentary speaker.

“But when they fear they’ve been infected by the coronavirus, they use their personal connections, jump through hoops and bypass the line. Where’s the personal example?”

“If we don’t observe the rules, we won’t be able to keep the economy open, over time,” he says.
