Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHealth Ministry Yaakov Litzman says the government is considering imposing a lockdown of a community in Israel where there have been a large number of coronavirus cases.
“There’s a certain place in Israel where there is large number of [virus] cases. We’re weighing a closure of one community,” he tells Army Radio.
Litzman doesn’t name the place, but Hebrew media identifies it as Kiryat Ye’arim, also known as Telz-Stone, an ultra-Orthodox town near Jerusalem.
