Top health official warns of possible ‘second wave’ outbreak in May
Professor Sigal Sadetsky, the head of the Health Ministry’s Public Health Services, warns that infections could swell in May if Israelis don’t heed social distancing measures.
“I am concerned there will be a second wave of infection in May,” she tells the Kan public broadcaster. “It’s impossible to ensure that people don’t get infected if they don’t observe social distancing.”
She stresses that unless the rules are kept, Israel could see a rise in infections and a backtracking to stricter lockdown measures.
