Netanyahu announces 3-day general lockdown, with further tightening for Passover eve
Netanyahu announces a “general lockdown” starting at 4 p.m. Tuesday and extending until 7 a.m. on Friday. Israelis will not be allowed to leave their cities, and residents of some Jerusalem neighborhoods will not be allowed to leave those neighborhoods.
In addition, a tighter restriction will come into force at 6 p.m. on Wednesday evening, the night of the Passover seder, under which everybody “will stay at home.” This tighter restriction will end at 7 a.m. on Thursday.
The measures still need to be approved by the cabinet.
