During his visit today to Ziv hospital in Tzfat, the government's coronavirus project manager, Prof. Nachman Ash, expressed his hope that the nationwide lockdown due to start next week will be the last one of its kind.
"This short lockdown will take us to a place of far fewer victims, and we will then be able to restart the economy," Ash said. "I hope that this will be the last lockdown of its kind. It should last between two weeks and a month," he added.
