Israel’s aggressive response to the Coronavirus is actually perfect | Timesofisrael
What started as a local viral outbreak in central China has spread in just a matter of weeks into a worldwide phenomenon, and we are likely nowhere near the peak of the coronavirus crisis, doctors believe.
Countries around the world are taking steps to protect their populations – and their economies, and Israel has responded perhaps more aggressively than other countries. Already in mid-February, Israel closed off its borders to residents of China and South Korea, and as the virus spread to Europe, Israeli medical officials added countries like Italy, Germany, and Spain to the list. Not only that; Israeli citizens who have visited these countries are required to self-quarantine for two weeks upon their return. Failure to follow the rules could result in criminal prosecution, Health Ministry officials said.
