Outgoing Health Minister Yaakov Litzman said on Monday that Israel may have acted too harshly in handling the coronavirus crisis.
"I don't know how many sick are there, but the number is low and we draw from that," Litzman said at a ceremony welcoming his successor, Likud MK Yuli Edelstein. "We succeeded, in large part thanks to our isolation and caution measures, some might have been too harsh, but we did good things. We must also deal with the issue later so that, God forbid, it does not return next winter. We must be careful.”
