Israeli expert: Safe elections possible during pandemic

An Israeli expert suggests that holding elections safely during the COVID-19 pandemic is feasible.

Chaim Markos Rafalowski, Disaster Management Coordinator of Magen David Adom, shared Israel's experience in conducting two elections during the pandemic without increasing new cases.

Rafalowski emphasized that maintaining safety measures allowed all citizens to participate democratically while preventing a surge in infections.

Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri cited a Pulse Asia poll indicating 46% of Filipinos might not vote if the number of COVID-19 cases remains high.
