Health minister says assemblies of more than 5,000 banned over virus fears

Health Minister Yaakov Litzman says assemblies of more than 5,000 people will no longer be permitted due to the coronavirus.

“We will not allow international conferences in Israel,” Litzman adds, addressing reporters after Netanyahu. “This is international. There are countries that are working on it and taking various steps, and there are countries that haven’t yet internalized the severity of the situation.”
