The coronavirus czar Professor Nachman Ashe on Sunday warned that if Israelis do not maintain vigilance, coronavirus cases could rise and a fourth lockdown may be necessary.
Ash told Ynet that the vaccination drive that has already seen half of the country's population inoculated for COVID-19 could protect the country's hospitals from too high a rise in serious cases of the virus but warns that an increase in morbidity is expected now that more lockdown restrictions were lifted.
