Health Ministry director general: All restrictions to be lifted within six weeks
Health Ministry Director General Moshe Bar Siman-Tov says he hopes all restrictions imposed due to the coronavirus pandemic will be lifted within six weeks and possibly even by the end of the month.
Speaking in a Facebook live session, Bar Siman-Tov says: We will allow gatherings, up to 100 people. We will allow more classrooms to be opened, after-school activities, parks, swimming pools, competitive sports and restaurants. We hope to do all that by the end of the month.
