Police report significant drop in number of people out in Mea Shearim

Police report a significant decrease in the number of people out in Jerusalem’s ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea Shearim, crediting the drop to officers calling on residents to obey the new emergency ordinances against the coronavirus.

Large numbers of people had still been walking around the neighborhood after the ordinances took effect earlier this evening.
