Tomer Lotan, head of the Magen Israel coronavirus headquarters, addressed the increase in the infection rate in an interview with Reshet B, noting that the trend is worrying.
""This means that we have gone from a contracting epidemic to a halting epidemic and perhaps later also to a spreading epidemic. Very worrying," said Lotan.
In an interview, Lotan noted that the announcement about the early opening of the education system was not coordinated with the staff: "We heard about it for the first time at the press conference yesterday. We urge the government to stick to the dates we set in advance and not to make any advances. The two-week gaps between the steps are to see the effect on the indicators.".
