Starting at 16:00 in the afternoon, closures will be imposed on all localities in the country. • Prohibition on leaving or entering localities, except for travel to essential work and urgent cases.

Quarantine record: One and a half months after the outbreak of the Corona virus in Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to announce a complete closure throughout the country this evening.

Ministry of Health

Netanyahu is expected to say that at 4 pm tomorrow, all localities in the country will be closed. It is forbidden to leave or enter localities, except for going to work and urgent cases. The closure will be enforced throughout the country by police during the Seder (Wednesday evening and night). It also appears that a full curfew will be imposed within the localities during the Seder.

In addition, in addition to the original intention to impose a closure on neighborhoods and communities where there are high rates of morbidity, the full closure days will be particularly tight enforcement in these places. The general closure will end on Friday morning, following the first Passover holiday.

At this time, too, the Netanyahu Bureau is holding final consultations on the nature of the quarantine. In addition, the decision requires the approval of the government, which is expected to convene a telephone meeting tonight. It is possible, as has been the case in previous meetings, that ministerial positions will influence elements of the decision.

Sources in the details told "Israel Today" that the full closure for and during the Seder was intended to preserve what appears to be a decline in the rate of corona expansion. According to them, it is clear that there are many, in particular, who intend to travel to their families during the holiday, "but we do not want what happened in Purim to be repeated on Passover. The achievement must not be dropped."

At present, the intention is that during the remaining weekdays, the level of closure will be as it is today.
