Police now to shutter Jerusalem’s Mahane Yehuda market

Police officers arrive at Jerusalem’s Mahane Yehuda to shutter the market in accordance with new emergency regulations against the coronavirus.

Prime Minister Netanyahu said yesterday that markets such as Mahane Yehuda would remain open for at least a few more days, but this morning police ordered stalls in Tel Aviv’s Carmel Market to close.
