Health Minister Yuli Edelstein said Tuesday that Israel is in the grips of a third coronavirus infection wave and that there is no other choice but to go into another nationwide lockdown. We have missed the train with tightened restraint and there is no escape from a lockdown, he said on a visit to an assisted living facility that was rolling out its vaccination program for tenants.
