Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told his cabinet on Monday that he fears Israel is headed toward snapping back restrictions, which will happen if its number of cases doubles within 10 days.
“It could be that we are already in this 10-day infection doubling rate. I very much hope not,” he said.
He defended the decision to delay the reopenings of most venues and other places not yet reopened by a week.
“What we decided to do was first of all put on the handbrake. We stopped the easements. We’ll check it in the next week.”
