A blockade has been in effect in the Mediterranean country again since Friday. People have to accept school closures and restrictions on freedom of movement. As announced by the police on Wednesday, 2,132 rule violations were recorded in 24 hours.

The government wants to prevent the health system from being overloaded with restrictions that will initially apply for three weeks. One trigger was the warning from hospital managers about impending capacity limits. The Health Ministry ordered paramedics to be used immediately to support the staff at the clinics. The coronavirus cabinet wanted to discuss tightening the lockdown rules again on Wednesday.

The pandemic initially turned out to be mild, also due to strict government policy. However, following the easing criticized by experts in May, the numbers in Israel soared. The government repeatedly urged people to adhere to regulations such as distance regulations. Those most affected by the recent increase in the number are the Arab and ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods. Larger families tend to live there in a small space.
