The reason for the postponement is the Purim celebrations, which were characterized by forbidden gatherings in both the secular and ultra-Orthodox sectors. • The Ministry of Health fears that the coefficient of infection began to rise even before Purim events.

The Ministry of Health will recommend tomorrow (Monday) at the cabinet meeting to postpone most of the components of the third pulse of the opening of the economy.
This means a week-long delay in the opening of restaurants, event gardens and attractions planned for next Sunday.
On the other hand, the ministry will agree to open seventh to tenth grades in schools in the green and yellow localities.
The reason for the postponement is the Purim celebrations that were characterized by forbidden gatherings in both the secular and ultra-Orthodox sectors, and the fear of an increase in morbidity as a result. In addition, the coefficient of infection began to rise even before the effect of the gatherings on Purim accumulated.
