Israel’s coronavirus czar Prof. Ronni Gamzu apologized on Monday for criticism he made last week about Harav Chaim Kanievsky.
Rav Chaim was reported by an ultra-Orthodox publication that he told yeshiva students not to get tested for the coronavirus, prompting a rebuke from Gamzu who warned he was endangering public health.
