Head of Public Health Services at the Health Ministry Dr. Sharon Elrai-Price said Tuesday if the government doesn't tighten the coronavirus restrictions now, it will result in another, much longer nationwide lockdown.
"If we wait too long, in the end the price will be heavy for both the economy and health," she told Ynet. "There will be a longer lockdown, and we will be required to take actions such as closing the education system and imposing traffic restrictions."
