 United Torah Judaism MK tells Gamzu 'not to get involved' in ultra-Orthodox affairs after coronavirus czar warns that without adherence to public health orders and encouragement of testing, officials would 'have to make complex decisions'

 United Torah Judaism member, MK Yitzhak Pindros, later criticized Prof. Gamzu for his comments, suggesting the czar doesn't "get involved in what has proven to work for thousands of years," adding that those who take advice from their elders never fail. 

 "Gamzu's comments since he assumed the position only helped to worsen the virus' infection rate, hopefully, he will find more success managing a hospital," he said, referring to the fact that Gamzu is the CEO of Tel Aviv's Ichilov Medical Center.

Prof. Gamzu's comments came during a visit to the predominantly ultra-Orthodox settlement of Beitar Illit, which the Health Ministry classified as "red", indication an exceptionally high infection rate.
