PM to convene coronavirus cabinet to decide on additional lockdowns
Following the surge in infection rates, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is convening a conference call for the so-called coronavirus cabinet to discuss which municipalities will be subject to additional restrictions, Kan news reports.
The channel says that Ashdod, Bnei Brak, Dimona and Lod may face additional lockdowns.
Health Ministry officials are said to be pushing for imposing strict lockdowns in dozens of cities in a dramatic push to contain the outbreak that Health Minister Yuli Edelstein has warned is the “beginning of a second wave.”
