Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned several lawmakers from his "Likud" party that the novel Coronavirus "COVID-19" may inflict a deadly blow on the whole of humanity.
Israeli Channel 12 quoted one of the OF THE Knesset as confirming that Netanyahu, at a time when the battle against the Coronavirus in Israel reached its climax last month, expressed his deep concern about reports coming from other countries in the world on new infections among people who had previously recovered from the virus.
According to the Israeli channel, Netanyahu said if those reports are proven to be credible, then this danger could mean the end of humanity.
Other sources with whom Netanyahu spoke with confirmed that the prime minister had warned of global chaos scenarios caused by the deadly virus.
Netanyahu also stressed, over the report, during government meetings held in late March, that the death toll from the epidemic in Israel was likely to reach ten thousand deaths and one million infections until the end of April along with hospitals crowded.
On his part, the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Health in Israel, Moshe Bar Siman Tove, warned on April 6, according to the report, that Coronavirus may spread in Israel on a scale similar to that recorded in Spain and Italy, the two European countries most affected by the epidemic.
In public statements, Netanyahu has expressed his deep concern about the risk of developing "COVID-19" by a person more than once.
The Israeli premier said this means that the situation is more complicated than he had thought until now and who is recovering from the virus is not immune to it.
Public opinion polls conducted in Israel indicate that Netanyahu managed to regain social support on the backdrop of the Coruna outbreak; he was on the verge of losing power due to the deep political crisis that Israel entered more than a year ago.
So far, about 16.5 thousand cases of corona infection have been recorded in Israel, and 245 patients have died, with clear indications of a slowdown in the epidemic. However, the government has initiated measures to lift the restrictions imposed to deter the pandemic.
