As you may recall, the Corona Cabinet decided tonight on a full return to school in the green and yellow cities, this after a stormy nightly discussion that included resistance and high tones.
Education Minister Yoav Galant welcomed the move.
According to the outline, all high school students in cities with low morbidity will return to the school bench this coming Sunday.
A week later, middle school students will return to study.
It was also decided to significantly increase the amount of tests that will be available to staff and students.
At the same time, the Cabinet decided to adopt the proposal presented for a trial and limited opening of the malls and extend the pilot so that it would end on 6 December.
Subject to the pilot findings and the general picture of the morbidity situation, the opening dates of the malls will be determined, while at the same time a pilot proposal will be submitted to the markets, with the goal of opening the markets at the time the malls open.
