Health Minister Yuli Edelstein said on Tuesday that Israel’s “increasingly rising spike of new virus cases is alarming” following a tour of the Soroka Medical Center in Be’er Sheva. Edelstein warned that Israel’s rate of infection is progressing to over 200 patients a day and if Israelis continue to treat health guidelines as just a recommendation, the coronavirus will linger. “The most effective way to treat the virus without harming the economy is strict enforcement,” Edelstein said. “There’s no difference between enforcing traffic regulations and enforcing coronavirus regulations.
