Virus czar: Don’t make Hanukkah plans

Outgoing coronavirus czar Ronni Gamzu says he doesn’t think a third national lockdown is looming. But he is urging Israelis not to expect traditional gatherings during next month’s Hanukkah holiday.

Asked by Channel 12 whether Israelis can expect to face restrictions over the holiday, or whether Hanukkah will be “normal,” he says: “There is no normal during the coronavirus [pandemic]. No one should plan anything normal. Everything will be coordinated and everything will be different and everything will be much more cautious and adapted to the virus.”
