The government's coronavirus cabinet is currently meeting amid disagreements between its members.
Prof. Ran Balicer along with senior Health Ministry officials are recommending only limited restrictions placed on the economy, with large gatherings in enclosed areas prohibited.
Prof. Eran Segal, however, and others argue that even a full lockdown will not help - and that there is essentially nothing that can be done to limit the contagion.
According to a report on Channel 12 News, the meeting is likely to end with a decision to avoid imposing additional restrictions.
