Minister of Public Security Amir Ohana has issued a statement regarding the necessity for a lockdown at this time.
"If the morbidity rate should increase at its current rate, the health care system will collapse. Medical teams will need to choose between someone who suffered a heart attack, someone injured in a traffic accident, and someone seriously ill with the coronavirus. And if they cannot choose between them, all will receive treatment but not at the highest level," Ohana wrote.
