Health Ministry: Don’t ‘storm’ supermarkets, they’ll remain open in any scenario

The director-general of the Health Ministry is calling on Israelis not “to storm” supermarkets, as the country braces for expected new far-reaching measures meant to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

“Israeli citizens, supermarkets will remain open. Period. There is no reason to storm them,” Moshe Bar Siman-Tov says in a statement from the ministry.

He adds: “In any possible scenario the supermarkets will remain open. I ask the public to behave responsibly and to listen to the instructions of the authorities.״
