Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold discussions later today on the possibility of announcing nighttime curfews to lower the country’s coronavirus infections, Hebrew media reports.

Under review will be the possibility of confining people to their homes after 7 or 8 p.m. until the early morning.
