Health chief: We won’t allow crowds into the streets for Independence Day

In further comments to Channel 12, Bar Siman-Tov says ways will have to be found to mark a series of major anniversaries and festivals without masses in the streets.

He cites Independence Day, Ramadan, Memorial Day and Shavuot among the imminent dates where “we’ll have to find different ways to celebrate.”

People won’t be able to “go out into the streets” for the usual Independence Day celebrations, which this year start on the night of April 28, for instance, he says.
