Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz (Likud) has added his voice to those demanding a total lockdown, in order to gain control of the coronavirus epidemic.
"A lockdown is the only logical solution," he told Galei Tzahal this morning. "If we had imposed a lockdown two months ago, we would have been a 'green' country by now. There's no way we can continue at the current rate, with the number of infections adding up to a million per year."
