Head of public health services to recommend lockdown during holidays

Dr. Sharon Elari, head of the public health services, spoke on Radio Bet Thursday morning and warned of a national pandemic that may force the country to go into general lockdown during the holidays.
"The situation is concerning, we're heading towards a national pandemic – in green cities as well. That's why [coronavirus czar Prof. Ronni] Gamzu's traffic light model can't work at the moment, and our recommendation at the cabinet meeting will be to impose a lockdown during the holidays," Elari said.
