Putting up fences overnight, Ramat Gan blocks entry to pedestrians from Bnei Brak
The city of Ramat Gan has set up makeshift fences and checkpoints to prevent pedestrian traffic from adjacent Bnei Brak, which has a high concentration of virus cases.
According to Hebrew media reports, the fences have been put up overnight to separate the cities.
There is currently a closure in and out of Bnei Brak to vehicles.
“So long as the Israel Police don’t block the entrance points, and so long as the movement between cities is forbidden by law, the responsibility for public health leads to the conclusion that it is appropriate and correct to plug all openings,” the Ramat Gan municipality says after taking matters into its own hands.
