Health Ministry Director Moshe Bar Siman Tov warned that Israel has to prepare for a second wave of coronavirus in the winter during an interview Wednesday evening with N12.
Israel, according to Bar Siman Tov, is “in a respite that allows us to plan further actions on different plains. Economically, we need to improve the systems that need to work better, that is what we are working on right now, and we will address it knowing we are in danger of a second wave.”
The director warned that “there are fears that we have to be prepared for a wave that would come in the winter and will be comprised of both coronavirus and the flu.”
The government approved an additional and significant relief package on Friday morning, including allowing hairdressers and beauty salons to open, as restrictions are further loosened. However, shopping malls will remain closed for the time being.
