Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged Israelis to demonstrate “discipline and responsibility” to help curb the spread of the virus.
Netanyahu also announced more steps which include a better ability to track down those who might have been exposed to the virus, which the government will be able to do after having approved “digital tracking” measures yesterday.
He says Israel will also significantly ramp up its testing for coronavirus, claiming a potential ability to carry out 5,000 tests a day.
