Netanyahu concedes Israel's economy reopened too quickly
|
[Ynet] - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that in hindsight, the government reopened some parts of Israel's economy too quickly, leading to a resurgence in coronavirus infections nationwide.
"Looking back, we can say that the last part of the opening of the economy was premature," Netanyahu told a press conference, referring to the reopening of bars, clubs, and event halls. "We are in the midst of the second wave of the coronavirus epidemic. It arrived at our doorstep and that of other countries as well."
"Handling the coronavirus requires responsible decision-making, balancing between trial and error. We had great success in the first wave and as a result, we reduced the number of infections to just a few every day."
The premier, alongside Finance Minister Israel Katz, then presented the government's financial rescue plan.
The plan includes a social safety net for wage and self-employed workers and a financial safety net for businesses until June 2021 in order to guarantee economic certainty for the coming year. The government would also provide training for individuals making a career change to "coronavirus-era professions".
I wonder if it occurred yet to somebody that coronovirus hospitals don't have to have as many certified doctors & nurses as a regular ones. Just people trained to deal with coronavirus patients supervised by MDs.
