Police minister touts ‘unprecedented enforcement’ in Bnei Brak
Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan tells the Ynet news website that police are carrying out “exacting and unprecedented enforcement” in Bnei Brak.
He says he is pushing for authority to force anyone in the city who tests positive for the virus, or is required to be in quarantine, to move to a hotel, where their movement can be more easily tracked.

Senior Health Ministry official Boaz Lev tells the channel he is very worried about the city’s outbreak spreading across the country. “This is like a wildfire in a field of weeds.”
