Public health services head Sharon Elrai said in a Kan Bet interview: "The coefficient of infection worries us. We opposed opening street shops. It erodes basic principles in the outline of leaving the lockdown.

"If we're in a third general closure in another month - the business owners will be no less affected. This is something that could happen if the gatherings, the unrestrained opening, and the decision-making in the cabinet, contrary to the recommendations of the Health Ministry, continue."
