According to the new guidelines, which will be in place until Tuesday at 8 p.m., public gatherings are restricted to a maximum of 50 people, provided that a shelter is reachable in the event of an attack, and workplaces can open as long as there is access to a shelter.
Educational activities are canceled in the affected regions. Schools across the country were ordered closed on Sunday and Monday following the missile attacks.
