Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told Galei Tzahal radio on Tuesday that the State of Israel is better prepared than any other country for the coronavirus.
Netanyahu said, "Tomorrow we will hold a special meeting of all government officials to discuss our next efforts. So far, we have been able to prevent the virus from entering the country." Referring to Israelis on the "corona ship" in Japan, he said, "I thought people on the ship should be dispersed as quickly as possible, but it wasn't up to us."
