Minister apologizes for phone tracking issues, announces virus czar
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHealth Minister Yuli Edelstein says he will soon appoint a coronavirus czar to oversee his ministry’s dealing with the pandemic.
He also apologizes for those who got quarantine orders over the phone, and were unable to appeal the order, despite many complaints about mistakes.
He says the appeals hotline will be significantly bolstered over the weekend.
He also unveils a new system meant to track infection chains, that he says will help identify where cases are originating.
‘I’m sure that together, in a few weeks, we can roll back the restrictions .. and allow a reasonable life for Israelis under the virus,” he says.
