This morning, Defense Minister Benny Gantz held a situation appraisal, attended by senior figures from the IDF and Defense Ministry.
At the meeting, Gantz stressed that more efforts should be focused on areas with high rates of contagion, especially on "orange" towns and cities in an attempt to prevent them from becoming "red zones."
Gantz also called for ways to be found to increase the number of virus tests being administered, as well as ways to cut the chains of transmission and give assistance to the health care system, given the continued rise in the number of confirmed cases.
