Tourism Minister Asaf Zamir (Blue & White) announced on his Facebook page that he would vote against imposing a full closure at the cabinet meeting. "The dramatic rise in infections requires drastic measures but a full closure during the holidays is an extreme step."
Zamir added that coronavirus czar Prof. Ronni Gamzu's outline should be further utilized and given adequate chance: "A full closure is better than the collapse of the health care system, but it is imperative to give the traffic light a chance before we take more drastic measures."
