Virus czar: Hospitals have virus ‘under control’
Coronavirus czar Ronni Gamzu says the healthcare system is no longer under threat of collapse due to the coronavirus.
“There are empty beds in coronavirus wards,” he tells ministers, according to Army Radio. “There are 900 in coronavirus wards, 200 in other wards and another 900 beds for geriatric patients. The situation is under control.”
Gamzu also expresses hope that virus testing levels will rise again in the next 10 days to 50,000-60,000 daily.
