Zarqa also referred to the jump in the morbidity indices in Corona.
"I am very concerned about the data, and at the same time I am not sure that closure is the solution that will bring us back to a reasonable morbidity," he said.
"This morning there are more than 400 critically ill patients in the various wards so we opened the wards in all the hospitals. The corona is here and it will stay, the main weapon for life alongside the corona is vaccines, a green mark and a mask. None of us want to be locked up at home."
Zarqa commented on the decisions made yesterday in the Corona Cabinet, saying: "There is pressure on the brakes. Although we got used to pressure equal closure, but we were in the third closure that did not achieve the goal. Do not get vaccinated, so it may be that lack of choice should come and say boldly - "We have exhausted all our capabilities and there is no other choice but a locksmith."
