From Virus czar warns of ‘disaster’ if Israelis pick and choose which restrictions to follow
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleCoronavirus czar Prof. Ronni Gamzu says Israel has no choice but to enter a three-week lockdown beginning tomorrow afternoon due to the high rate of infection in Israel.
Gamzu warns the virus will only further spread if Israelis pick and choose which lockdown measures to obey.
“We’ll bring a disaster upon ourselves,” he says during a press conference.
He also says restrictions were lifted too quickly following the initial lockdown, leading to virus’s resurgence, and that the proper tools weren’t ready to avoid further sweeping restrictions.
Gamzu speaks after meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu to deliberate further tightening the lockdown measures set to begin tomorrow afternoon.
