Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAs large numbers of Israelis are seen strolling through parks and boardwalks in Tel Aviv and throughout the country taking advantage of the warm weekend weather, the Health Ministry issues a statement urging the public to remain at home.
“The nice weather is not a reason to leave the house,” the ministry says.
“Follow the Health Ministry’s guidelines, otherwise we will find ourselves with a significant outbreak,” says the ministry’s director-general Moshe Bar Siman-Tov.
The guidelines allow Israelis to leave the home for unorganized sport activity of up to two people as well as a short 10 minute walk, which many people appear to be taking advantage of.
