-- Minister of Education Yoav Galant

1. classes that were in session and classes that weren't? meaning, some schools were left open? what was the criteria for this?

2. does he realize that the kids don't sleep in school? Even if the schools were open, the kids go home after school and are home for the bulk of the day and night, unrelated to any lockdown. Meaning, the infections at home would happen anyway. Opening schools would not prevent infections at home, but would cause spread of infection from home to home as kids get the virus at home and spread it in school. Not quite sure what benefit he is pointing to with this.

3. Maybe the increased numbers during lockdown point to the fact that not all that many people are staying home all day during this lockdown....
