Meanwhile, Prof. Roni Gamzo, the Corona Commissioner, yesterday presented the Corona Cabinet with two outlines for dealing with the disease and avoiding locksmithing. Gamzo reflected to the ministers the state of serious illness, with every day we witness an average of 1500 infections.

This means, according to Gamzo, is about 40 new serious patients every day and about 400 die a month. Gamzo said at the end of the cabinet meeting: "Cabinet ministers have expressed overwhelming support for the outline I have presented to them and the avoidance of a locksmith." In his remarks, Gamzo stressed that "the majority of the public is disciplined, but there is a cross-sectoral minority that promotes infection."

Gamzo also called for stopping traditional flights to Uman for fear of a mass contagion event: "The government should instruct the Airports Authority to prevent direct flights to Ukraine for health reasons." He noted that he hoped that the leaders of the two countries would work for a complete halt to the delegations to the Artist of the Year, out of responsibility for public health.
