    COVID taskforce member: Imposing night curfews doesn't make any sense

    Professor Nadav Davidovitch, a member of the coronavirus task force composed of health experts that advises the government's coronavirus project manager, told Galei Tzahal this morning that he doesn't think that night-time curfews will have any sizeable impact on the situation.

    "Looking at the question from a logical and epidemiological perspective, I see no reason to impose night-time curfews," he said. "It seems to me that the politicians have despaired of managing the epidemic, so they figure: Let's at least make some kind of decision that makes it look like we're doing something."
