Nazareth expected to be locked down; health officials fret over infections

Health officials are warning Israel is heading to a third national lockdown, calling for the immediate reimposition of some restrictions to prevent such a scenario, according to Channel 12.

The report comes after Health Ministry Director-General Chezy Levy hints that additional rules may be imposed during next month’s Hannukah holiday.

The health officials are also concerned about next week’s reopening of schools for fifth and sixth graders, warning it’s premature and will drive up infections, according to the network.

Meanwhile, Nazareth is expected to be placed under local lockdown amid soaring coronavirus infections in the northern city.
