Government declares virus-hit city of Bnei Brak a ‘restricted zone’

The cabinet has approved new ordinances allowing for movement to be further restricted in areas in Israel with a large number of coronavirus cases.

This includes the predominantly ultra-Orthodox city of Bnei Brak, which the government declares as a “restricted zone” under the new ordinances.

The cabinet also approves a requirement that Israelis returning from overseas enter quarantine for 14 days at a designated city, among other measures.
