Health Ministry says no Hanukkah restrictions
The coronavirus cabinet has resumed its meeting and will seemingly not push ahead with special Hanukkah restrictions.
Rather, Health Minister Yuli Edelstein tells the coronavirus cabinet that the restrictions will stay in the trash bin, but once Israel hits 2,500 new cases a day or a reproduction rate of 1.32, a scheme called “tightened restraint” will automatically kick in, according to reports.
The plan would include shutting walk-in businesses and reducing public transportation.
