Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's economical advisor and head of the National Economic Council Prof. Avi Simhon calls for tighter restrictions during the current nationwide lockdown.
"We have no choice - we need more restrictions on the economy," Simhon tells Ynet, adding that the cabinet would discuss the possibility of tightening the closure.
"If we keep the economy working, the number of patients will go up and we will have to close the economy on less favorable terms," he says.
