Israel Restricts Gatherings To 1,000 People, Suspends Educational Activities

COVID-19 outbreak in Beijing

Israel's Home Front Command has announced new measures to combat the spread of COVID-19, including the suspension of educational activities starting Sunday. Additionally, all gatherings will now be restricted to a maximum of 1,000 people, according to the commanding officer.

Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo emphasized the importance of adhering to the guidelines, stating, 'You are required to continue to vigilantly adhere to the guidelines, they may change based on the situational assessment.' He commended the public for their exceptional conduct and adherence to the guidelines thus far, urging them to 'keep it up — it saves lives.'

These new restrictions come as part of ongoing efforts to curb the spread of the virus and protect public health. The situation is being closely monitored, and further adjustments to the guidelines may be made based on the evolving circumstances.

Israel, like many countries around the world, continues to grapple with the challenges posed by the pandemic. By implementing these measures and encouraging compliance, authorities aim to minimize the impact of COVID-19 on the population and prevent further outbreaks.
