Outgoing Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon (Likud) was interviewed by Israel Hayom and questioned on his opinion of the government's handling of the coronavirus crisis.

"Even if there is a second wave of the coronavirus, there's no way we can go back to the way we did things until now," he said. "They were the right steps to take at the time, but bear in mind that we sacrificed the economy on the altar of health. It's not possible to shut down the economy again even if there is a second wave. It's not just impossible; it's dangerous."
