Deliberations at PM’s office on new coronavirus restrictions underway

Deliberations have begun at the Prime Minister’s Office ahead of an expected announcement this evening of new far-reaching restrictions to combat the coronavirus.

The PMO says among those taking part in the meeting are the defense, finance, economy and public security ministers, as well as the national security adviser, governor of the Bank of Israel, the directors-general of multiple government ministries and other agency heads.

Netanyahu will give a televised statement at 8:30 p.m., his office says.
