Cities that are ‘yellow’ for two days can open schools

Following pressure from the ultra-Orthodox parties, the Ministry of Health announces that cities that remain ‘yellow’ or ‘green’ according to the traffic light system of infection rates for two consecutive days will be allowed to fully open their education institutions.

UTJ chair Moshe Gafni says in response: “I call on the government and mayors to make the informed decision and open schools immediately in neighborhoods where the color of the traffic light system has improved so that students can return to school tomorrow morning.”
