Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn his videoconference with mayors, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly told them he’s in talks with Russia’s Vladimir Putin and US Vice President Mike Pence to secure fast tests for COVID-19.
“We’ll return to the ‘traffic light’ system as soon as possible,” Netanyahu says, according to the Kan public broadcaster. That’s a reference to a health policy under which restrictions would be matched with local rates of coronavirus infection.
“We are in touch with Putin and the American vice president to get very fast tests,” he says.
Netanyahu also agrees to appoint an observer to the coronavirus cabinet who will represent the local councils, says Kan.
