Israel to extend lockdown to more cities facing severe outbreak

The government is poised to expand the lockdown measures being used in Bnei Brak to other cities in the country, not just haredi (ultra-Orthodox) ones, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Under consideration for increased lockdown measures are the haredi cities of Elad, Betar Illit and Modi’in Illit, as well as Tiberias, Ashkelon, Migdal Ha’emek and Or Yehuda, an Interior Ministry source said.

The restrictions will be similar to those in Bnei Brak, including a ban on entering or leaving except for essential workers, but slightly less severe in nature.

The new restrictions will go into effect on Monday morning, the source said.

In addition, the government is considering dividing Jerusalem into eight zones and restricting the movement of residents, who will be required to stay in the zone in which they reside for all requirements.

The government is also considering a nationwide lockdown for the first night of Passover this Wednesday due to the danger that people will travel to family and friends for the Seder and generate a new wave of coronavirus infections, Interior Minister Arye Deri.

“We are thinking about imposing a nationwide lockdown for Passover so that people don’t go to each other’s houses and we lose control because of a lack of discipline,” he told Channel 12.
