Israel delays opening of beaches due to coronavirus

Interior Minister Aryeh Deri says that the opening of beaches to bathers as spring begins will be postponed indefinitely in light of the coronavirus outbreak.

Deri says the decision to not return lifeguards to work until further notice is due to the ban on gatherings of more than 10 people and out of care for the public’s health.
