Live broadcast from a briefing by the Director General of the Ministry of Health

The Director General of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Nachman Ash, said today (Monday) that if the latest steps approved by the Corona Cabinet do not help curb the disease, the Ministry of Health will seek to expand the restrictions.

We are acting in different ways but the situation is worrying, "Ash said at a press briefing.

According to Ash, the response to the third dose of the vaccine is high," but there are about a million people who have not yet received a first vaccine.

I urge you to get out and get vaccinated, this is the best way to stop the disease.

We do not want to get into a situation where we decide on a closure.

We do everything we can to avoid it.

The vaccine will help us avoid it - get vaccinated. "

Despite the outline's approval to open the school year, Ash noted that" as we get closer to September 1, we will know if we can open the school year safely.

We are doing everything possible so that the studies start as usual. "
