‘With coronavirus cases rising, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz met Wednesday with health officials and agreed there would not be new virus restrictions implemented at this stage.
The announcement that there would be no immediate change in policy came hours after coronavirus czar Salman Zarka said Israel appears to be at the start of a new wave of infections, and said that a fifth dose of the vaccine may be necessary for some sectors of the population.
Last week, the health ministry director-general spoke of the “dilemma” posed by the prospect of conducting a possible fifth round of COVID-19 vaccinations before winter.
“It will be a big challenge to convince people to take a fifth vaccination, and that will influence the decision,” Ash said.
Meanwhile, Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza have yet to record a significant rise in coronavirus cases.“
