Health official says schools in virus hotspots could remain closed post-lockdown

A top health official says Israel will “cautiously” reopen the economy and schools after the lockdown ends.

Sharon Alroy-Preis tells Channel 12 that schools in high-infection areas will remain closed in the first stages of reopening.

She says infections among children remain high, likely due to the British variant.
