"We are in the third world war of the virus":
Deputy Health Minister Yoav Kish (Likud) was interviewed today (Wednesday) by 103FM, and referred to the high morbidity in Corona and its possible impact on the upcoming elections.
"If there is a high morbidity and high numbers on the eve of the election, I do not know how we will hold the election," he said.
"Hopefully the level of morbidity will be low and will allow people to get out of the house."
Minister Edelstein, this week: "It is impossible to live with an average of 8,160 verified per day and 1,100 critically ill patients in hospitals"
Kish stressed that this is "his personal position only" and not the position of the Likud and the Prime Minister. "The prime minister did not deal with this issue," he stated. "Whoever is responsible for this Central Election Commission." He noted that if the elections were held tomorrow, the Ministry of Health would recommend The Election Commission must postpone the elections for a month "until the end of the closure, until the wave of morbidity is over."
"I hope we will not be in this dilemma," he noted.
"One to two weeks before the election, there will be an assessment of the situation of the professionals, who will give their recommendation to the Central Election Commission whether to postpone the election."
Kish further tweeted: "A raging epidemic is like a war. The risk of infection can rise in human lives. The decision will be in the hands of the Central Election Commission, which can recommend to the outgoing Knesset a majority of 80 MKs or more in legislation that the election date can be postponed.
This was the case during the Yom Kippur War.
I work hard together with the entire health system and the Minister of Health so that we will not be in this situation. "
