The coronator’s protector, Prof. Nachman Ash, also spoke out against the party in Tel Aviv, saying: We warn every day on every possible stage about the importance of adhering to the guidelines, and keeping us all healthy, in order to defeat the dangerous corona plague, and in the end we come across pictures “The outrage of mass celebrations and gatherings is irresponsible. The responsibility is also in the hands of the public, and it is very unfortunate that this is how they choose to behave these days, when the morbidity figures are still high.”

Anyone who celebrated at a street party yesterday in the city is underestimating public health and our supreme efforts to stop the plague. I instructed the municipal supervisory and enforcement agencies to act resolutely during the holiday to prevent gatherings and to implement the guidelines.

Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai said: “Those who celebrated at the street party yesterday in the city underestimate public health and our supreme efforts to stop the plague. I instructed the municipal supervisory and enforcement agencies to act resolutely during the holiday to prevent gatherings and implement the guidelines.”
