Ministers approve local curfews instead of lockdowns after Haredi pressure
The Ministerial Committee for the Designation of Restricted Areas has approved setting nighttime curfews on towns with high infection numbers, canceling at the last minute a previous decision to enact full lockdowns on several such towns.
According to reports, the curfews, expected to start tomorrow evening, are expected to affect some 40 localities, a majority of them ultra-Orthodox and Arab communities.
