Health Ministry Director-General Prof. Hezi Levy calls for Israel to take drastic measures to curb the spread of coronavirus, a day after almost 4,000 new cases were reported in 24 hours.
"Given the situation in which we find ourselves we must shut down activity for a limited period, with every hardship that entails," Levy told Ynet on Thursday morning.
"We are reaching 4,000 infections a day, what do we want to get to?"
He said that Israel must "do something more drastic" than the current steps being taken.
