Health officials are considering a recommendation that Israelis wear masks outdoors, as well as reimposing restrictions on the number of people who can attend gatherings, Channel 12 news reports.
In addition, the network says officials are weighing the possibility of asking the coronavirus cabinet to require those who are not vaccinated to provide a negative test result before entering certain venues. No further details were given.
On Friday, Israel reimposed an indoor mask requirement, as over 200 new COVID-19 cases were recorded the previous day, the highest daily caseload in two and a half months.
The mandate was initially lifted last week.
