The ministerial committee on declaring restricted zones approved the recommendation of Israel’s Health Ministry and Coronavirus Czar Professor Roni Gamzu earlier in the day to impose night curfews on 40 “red” areas that continue to present with high morbidity.
The decision was made after consulting with all of the local authorities in which there is high morbidity, officials emphasized. The list of communities was finalized on Tuesday.
The recommendation included closing all education institutions in the restricted zones, with the exception of special education, from 7 pm beginning tonight (Sept. 8) until 15 September 2020. All non-essential businesses are also required to close their doors at 7 pm as well.
