Health Ministry Director-General Hezi Levi opposed on Monday a parliamentary coronavirus panel's decision to reopen gyms as coronavirus continues to spread throughout the country.
"[The decision to reopen gyms] poses a contagion risk for people," Levi told a press conference. "The decision is unfortunate and we will make other recommendations."
Levi also said that Israel currently conducts around 27-28 thousand coronavirus tests a day, with 6% of them returning a positive diagnosis.
