Ministers to reportedly weigh nighttime curfew as drop in infections appears to level off
The high-level coronavirus cabinet is expected to discuss further rolling back lockdown measures when it convenes tomorrow, despite signals that the decline in new infections was slowing.
Among the measures set to be discussed are reopening grades 5-6 and 11-12, allowing malls to reopen and imposing a nighttime curfew, according to the Ynet news site.
The Health Ministry is skeptical of a curfew, however, arguing it is ineffective in bringing down infections if it doesn’t take force between 7 and 8 p.m., the report says.
The ministry also reportedly remains opposed to reopening malls, museums and gyms.
