Health Ministry confirms only schools with virus cases to be shuttered

The Health Ministry confirms that only schools where coronavirus cases were detected will be closed.

The ministry also says that due to the “significant rise” in new infections in recent days, it is launching a PR campaign to encourage Israelis to adhere to social-distancing guidelines.

“The Health Ministry is worried about the increase in the number of sick people and rate of infection, alongside trends of indifference and complacency that are expressed in contempt and a lack of adherence to the rules,” a statement from the ministry says.
