From Netanyahu said to summon virus czar for urgent meeting on upcoming lockdown
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Netanyahu has summoned coronavirus czar Prof. Ronni Gamzu to an urgent meeting to discuss further tightening the three-week lockdown set to take effect tomorrow afternoon, Channel 12 news reports.
The unsourced reports says Netanyahu called the meeting because he is concerned over the public’s response to the lockdown, and felt the version approved by ministers had too many loopholes.
The government approved the lockdown measures on Sunday, hours before Netanyahu left for Washington to sign normalization deals with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
Due to the meeting, a press conference Gamzu was scheduled to give has been delayed.
