Coronavirus project manager Professor Nachman Ash on Wednesday night condemned a mass Purim party that was held in the Carmel Market in Tel Aviv in violation of health guidelines.
"We warn every day on every possible stage about the importance of adhering to the guidelines, and of maintaining the health of us all, in order to defeat the dangerous coronavirus pandemic, and in the end we encounter the outrageous images of irresponsible mass gatherings," said Ash, adding, "The responsibility is also in the hands of the public, and it is very unfortunate that this is how they choose to behave these days, when the morbidity figures are still high."
