Virus czar: Businesses that violate limits on gatherings will be shuttered
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleCoronavirus czar Ronni Gamzu warns that businesses will be shuttered if they don’t enforce restrictions on gatherings meant to curb the spread of COVID-19.
“A business that exceeds the limit on gatherings is a business that will be closed,” he says during a briefing.
Gamzu also warns continued violations of the caps on gatherings could lead to a renewed lockdown. He stresses, however, that he is trying to avoid such a measure.
“A lockdown is another half a million unemployed,” Gamzu says.
He also expresses concern over declining testing levels and implores the public to get tested, warning of a “hidden morbidity.”
