PMO confirms no new virus curbs, for now
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Prime Minister’s Office sends out an official announcement confirming the decision to not impose additional restrictions over Hanukkah.
According to the statement, when Israel hits 2,500 cases a day or the reproduction rate — how many people each infected person infects — hits 1.32, Israel will enter “tightened restraint” for three weeks.
The statement does not explain what tightened restraint means, or if the 2,500 cases level is for a single day or based on a weekly average.
If after three weeks, the reproduction rate has not fallen below 1, Israel will enter a general lockdown, it says.
