Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during the coronavirus cabinet meeting on Thursday that 'the hospitals raised a red flag. We saw what happened in other countries, we wish to stop it beforehand,' according to Channel 12. Netanyahu presented a harsher stance during the cabinet meeting, saying that the first phase of the nationwide curfew should last for two to three weeks. After those weeks have ended, the restraints will be slightly eased and then Gamzu's traffic light roadmap will be implemented again.
