State under closure: For the first time in the history of the state, the closure was almost completely implemented on Israeli residents. Deserted streets, empty people promenades and empty sidewalks were characterized by all the localities of the country, with the police presence noticeably evident both at entrances and exits from cities as well as within the localities themselves.

We wrote Noam (Dabol) Dvir reports that the center of Tel Aviv was quiet this morning until the birds chirping could be heard. The Habima Square area, which is usually bustling and bustling, was almost completely deserted. In recent days people could still be seen walking around, buying coffee and looking for a bench, but this morning there was no trace of it.

We wrote in the south, Gadi Golan, also reported empty streets of man in the big cities: Beer Sheva, Ashkelon, routines and routes. People in the moshavim and kibbutzim were also wary of going outside and preferring to stay in their homes.

Our correspondent in the north, Adi Hasmonay, reports that the Corona crisis and the directives to avoid gathering and keeping distance between people led to the kibbutz Sha'ar Golan celebrations planned for today. This distressed many, especially the kibbutz veterans, who spend most of the day at home with the exception of taking out food in the dining room or having their local dog. However, this morning they were surprised when at the door of their apartment, a colorful pool and flowerpot awaited them. The youth was given to the youth at the kibbutz and the workers of the ornamental.

We wrote that Shlomi Diaz also reports that the city of Modi'in, which made headlines in recent days after an entire neighborhood where it was isolated due to morbidity in Corona - was completely quiet. The permit to go shopping also seems that the residents of Modi'in did not exercise this morning, and there too - there was complete silence and the birds chirping could be heard. This is in contrast to the last days, where people went out to the parks, streets and even to the Ben Shemen Forest. Also, occasional police or urban policing was seen on the streets.

Due to the closure, the municipality of Rishon Lezion decided to recruit veterinarians and volunteers to look after the cat population in the city. Dozens of cat feeding posts have been posted in the past year, but there is now concern that civilians, so far accustomed to feeding cats, will not be able to reach positions more than 100 feet from their area of ​​residence.

Mayor Raz Kinstlich instructed the municipal veterinary service to resolve the issue, and to map feeders to those fed regularly in industrial areas, and to those feeding on individual positions. According to the outline currently being developed, veterinary inspectors will be working alongside volunteers to help provide food to cats in remote areas. In areas where there are feeders in individual positions, crosses will be made between feeders who help one another, that is, one who feeds far from where he lives, will help another feeder who lives near the point where he feeds. The veterinary service will conduct the surgery and coordination.

We wrote Daniel Siriotti reports that the Haifa municipality has been closed by operating a logistics center at Hofit School. By Sunday, five additional centers will be completed around the city, whose role is to help distribute food and medicine to the older population and provide a quick and effective response to residents unable to leave their homes.

In order to carry out the complex task, it was decided that all municipal inspectors should be transferred to the logistics centers. Therefore, parking reports will not be provided in white and blue. However, municipalities are removed, public order will be maintained and fines will be given to drivers who violate the law's guidelines.

In the background, police say that police patrolling the streets of the communities report a significant change in residents' behavior. "Compliance with the new guidelines is an example of good citizenship," one patrol officer said. "Apart from essential shops and businesses, everything is closed and closed, and there are very few cars in the streets."
