Ministers to convene to discuss rising virus cases
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe high-level coronavirus cabinet, led by Netanyahu, is set to convene shortly to discuss the rise in COVID-19 cases.
The senior ministers will debate whether to allow train lines to resume and permit cultural venues to reopen, or, by contrast, reintroduce restrictions.
According to Channel 12, even if trains are given the green light, they will not resume routes before next Monday.
Both Channel 12 and 13 report that ministers are expected to ease the rules further and permit cultural events, even as the number of new daily cases hit 299, the highest since late April.
