Diaspora Minister Nachman Shai (Labor) said on Sunday that if the public does not get vaccinated and follow the guidelines, Israel will enter another lockdown.

“Right now the lockdown remains on the horizon. We are all afraid of its consequences, but if the public does not meet the minimum required of it, which is to get vaccinated, we will find ourselves in a difficult situation that could cause billions in damage to the economy," Shai told Galei Tzahal (Army Radio) in an interview.
