Health Ministry Director General Prof. Nachman Ash said Wednesday that he supports bringing back stricter health measures to battle the surge of coronavirus, including the Green Pass mandate, capsule learning at schools and mandatory quarantine for all returning travelers from abroad.
Prof. Ash told Ynet the so-called "happy certificate" order that came into effect on Wednesday morning is not enough to curb the spread of the Delta variant.
"My professional stance is to take immediate steps. We think it is not right to wait, because it will be harder to stop when we reach larger numbers [of active cases]."
