Morning commute lighter than normal, but many still out
Despite Health Ministry regulations ordering Israelis to remain inside unless absolutely necessary, some in Jerusalem appeared to be out and about Wednesday morning.
A Times of Israel correspondent in Jerusalem reports that there is still traffic, albeit lighter their normal, and people walking on sidewalks or waiting at bus stops for buses that have continued to run.
This includes non-ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods.
Israelis have been told to hunker down unless they need to go to work under certain conditions, or to fetch groceries or other essential supplies.
