These are localities that received a traffic light score higher than 6.5, but the rate of those vaccinated among those aged 50 and over is higher than 70 percent.
Among the new localities are Givat Shmuel, Kiryat Yam, Sakhnin and Modi'in Maccabim Reut.
Earlier, Health Minister Yuli Edelstein instructed officials in his office to make another cut to the traffic light plan scores, so that in addition to the regular publication on Wednesday, the scores were also updated today.
In Eilat, we updated that schooling in the city will resume this coming Wednesday in kindergartens and grades 1-4 in all elementary schools.
In the rest of the classrooms and high schools, distance learning will continue at this stage, combining open-space sessions in accordance with the standard of 9 students and a teacher.
