Former Transport Minister Betzalel Smotrich (Yamina) addressed concerns of a second coronavirus wave.

"Stop blaming the coronavirus 'second wave'. There is no such thing. There is a colossal failure in preparation by the government and Health Ministry for testing, locating, and isolating contagion chains real-time. There is no reliable and rapid testing system, no epidemiological investigations, no uniform and tidy results. The result will be a second wave of closing the economy. One wave too many."
