Way to close?
The Ministry of Health announced tonight that the number of Corona patients in the country has risen by 16 people to 143, three of them in serious condition. In the meantime, in light of the spread of the Corona virus in Israel, the various government ministries discussed the following steps during the day - probably as early as Sunday.
The next and most dramatic step is likely to be a general civilian closure, which will limit public transport and reduce jobs, when "non-essential" jobs will be closed. Preschool closures are also being considered. A decision on the issue will probably be made at the Sabbath, after further discussions.
