Over 1,800 citations handed out to people going out

Police have handed out 1,847 citations to people leaving their homes against regulations so far today, the Kan news site reports.

The number of tickets exceeds the 1,715 handed out for the same infraction Sunday, according to the report.

Officials believe Israelis have become more lax regarding keeping to social distancing restrictions in recent days, and the government is reportedly mulling a fresh nationwide lockdown.
