According to reports CNN, Israel approved a second general lockdown on Sunday night as coronavirus cases surged to COVID-19 across the country. The lockdown, which is expected to start on Friday afternoon, will send the country back to many of the same tight restrictions from the first lockdown in April.
Schools, restaurants (except delivery) and entertainment venues will all be closed, as well as other businesses, for an initial period of three weeks. The public sector will operate with a limited workforce, while private sector businesses can operate as long as non-employees do not enter the work space.
People will be asked to live within 500 meters of their homes.
Emergency services, as well as pharmacies and food stores will remain open. Outdoor meetings are also limited to 20 people, while indoor meetings are limited to ten.
Restrictions will be eased after Israel records a sharp drop in infection rates.
