The Israel Police will start using drones during its enforcement of COVID-19 restrictions, Channel 12 news reports.
The drones will have a loudspeaker through which cops will encourage people to wear face masks, the report says.
The report adds that the police will focus their efforts on cities with high infection rates, including Hadera, Rehovot, Ashkelon, Kiryat Gat, Ashdod and Yavne.
