In Yiddish and Hebrew, loudspeakers on cars urge ultra-Orthodox to obey virus guidelines
The Health Ministry launches a “special public relations mission” in which cars equipped with loudspeakers are dispatched to ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods to implore residents to obey instructions aimed at curbing the coronavirus outbreak.
The messages, relayed over the loudspeakers in both Yiddish and Hebrew, are “to clarify the unprecedented urgency of obeying Health Ministry instructions,” a ministry statement says.
