September 8 (UPI) – Israel has imposed a curfew in more than 40 cities and several fitness officers have been asked to quarantine after the country reported 3,514 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday.
“I apologise totally from my center to all the towns that are being restricted lately,” Gamzu said. “I apologise to citizens and mayors. Coronavirus forces us to take unsightly measures to maintain health. That’s the only thing that guides me. “
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said curfews are being implemented to slow the accumulation of coronavirus cases.
“I cannot say that this leads us to the minimization we want; I can say we’re trying,” he said.
Gamzu and Israeli Health Minister Yuli Edelstein, his deputy Yoav Kisch, the ministry’s director general, Hezi Leavy, and other senior officials were invited to quarantine after contacting others who tested positive for COVID-19.
The Ministry of Health also announced that Ayman Saif, guilty of coronavirus efforts in Arab communities, had been tested for the coronavirus.
“I have introduced dozens of tours and visits to the ‘red’ villages and villages, where infection rates are high,” Saif said. “The disease will not save me from fighting for the eradication of the disease by all means and with all my might. “
