Following the end of the Purim holiday, Israeli schools will continue with distance learning on Thursday and Friday, Education Minister Yoav Kisch announces.

The Education Ministry is “prepared for any scenario, including a hybrid model or a phased return to face-to-face learning, in accordance with updated situation assessments,” Kisch says in a statement, adding that “a final update will be issued at the end of the week upon receipt of a full situational picture.”
