Russian S-400s to be deployed in April, but ready to buy US Patriot missiles – Erdogan

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has advocated the traditional Hindu solution to control the spread of deadly coronaviruses, that is, to avoid the traditional handshake with "Namaste". "Namaste" is the usual way of greeting each other in India with hands clasped.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahugot participated in a joint press conference with Minister of Health Yaakov Litzman, declaring that the world was in the midst of a global pandemic and that it could be among the most dangerous of these pandemics in the past 100 years.

Bragging about the fact that Israel is in the best situation of any other country, along with two or three other Western countries, Netanyahu added that Israel has been very cautious so far. We were forced to take hard, if not very harsh, measures to slow the rate of spread of the disease in Israel, and it did happen, he said.

The press conference revealed measures that are perhaps the most extreme in Western countries with relatively few diagnosed cases of coronavirus. So far, only 15 Israelis have tested positive for the coronavirus, all cases attributable to sources of infection abroad and no deaths.

The Director General of the Ministry of Health, Moshe Bar Siman, said: the very reason why we are in such a good situation, and the reason why I know every infected person and where they contracted it from. 39 infection is because we set up very definitive rules early on.

He warned: once we have identified people with the disease whose source of the infection we do not know, we will have to take even more drastic measures. Bar Siman Tov cited the example of Italy, where all schools, universities and public gatherings of all kinds were closed, and entire cities and regions cordoned off.

Restrictions intended to continue to curb and slow the spread of the virus include the obligation for all Israelis returning from Germany, Spain, France, Switzerland and Austria to commit within 14 days of self-isolation, with immediate effect.

All world conferences were closed, while Israelis returning from any international gathering, regardless of location, had to go through quarantine. It was forbidden for any Israeli who returned from a trip abroad to attend gatherings of 100 or more people.

Health workers were banned from traveling abroad, while anyone over the age of 60 or suffering from a chronic illness was asked to avoid contact with anyone returning from a travel abroad.

Netanyahu also asked the Israelis to adopt a new greeting instead of the handshake. You can adopt Indian practice, you can say Namaste or you can say Shalom. But find a way, anyway, to avoid shaking hands, he warned.
