Ministers okay further easing of virus restrictions
The coronavirus cabinet approves a further easing of coronavirus restrictions starting tomorrow evening.
The new rules allow increased capacity at sporting and cultural events and authorize the use of rapid coronavirus tests at businesses so those who haven’t been vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19 may enter.
Ministers are also expected to approve restrictions for Passover and Ramadan limiting indoor gatherings to 20 people and outdoor events to 50.
