Calm in coronavirus-stricken Bnei Brak as police prepare roadblocks to shut city

The coronavirus-stricken city of Bnei Brak is relatively calm, with little movement on the streets, as police prepare to open checkpoints at its entrances and egresses to effectively close it off from the rest of the country in a bid to halt the spread of the disease.

Video footage from Channel 12 shows limited traffic around the city despite the fact that the roadblocks have not yet been put into use.

According to the TV report, police are expected to begin enforcing the restrictions shortly.
