Israel, new blockade for 2 weeks: it is the first country in the world to close everything. 8.8% positive for swabs

Israel close everything, again, because COVID-19. And it is the first country to return for the second time in emergency shutdown, which will be voted on on Sunday and will take place in three phases: the first will come into force on September 18, the second around October 1 and the last around October 15. Meanwhile, the discontent towards the prime minister Benyamin netanyahu: according to a survey published by Israel ha-Yom, 59 percent of those surveyed considered their handling of the health crisis “bad” or “bad”, while 54 percent criticized the government’s economic behavior. If blocking, that will affect the feast of Rosh ha-Shanà (the Jewish New Year) and the fast of Yom Kippur – It will have the desired effect, then it will loosen very gradually.

The numbers of the pandemic – Yesterday they signed up 4,038 new cases of Covid, 8.8% of the tests carried out. The Ministry of Health has specified that 146,542 people have been infected since the beginning of the pandemic. There are currently 33,920 patients, of which 982 are hospitalized. There are currently 489 serious cases: it was 419 a week ago. More than a thousand dead.

The measures of the new closure – The second blockade will probably start after Wednesday, that is, the return of the prime minister Benyamin netanyahu gives Washington, where the peace accords between Israel and the United Arab Emirates will be signed on September 15. Once the closure takes effect, Israelis will not be able to leave their homes more than 500 meters. Schools and universities will be closed, as well as all non-essential private business. Prayers may only be held outdoors or in spaces deemed appropriate by health authorities. Yesterday, before the ministerial ‘Committee’ decided on the closure, several hospitals had told the government that you have reached a guard level in coronavirus departments, especially in the areas most affected by the pandemic.

While most Israelis feel negative about their handling of the health crisis, Netanyahu he is still the most suitable political figure at the moment for the position of prime minister (32%), followed by the nationalist Naftali Bennett (17%). the Likud it also remains the first party in Israel, with a great distance from all the others.

we need you.

In these weeks of pandemic, journalists, if we do our work conscientiously, we perform a public service. Also for this reason, every day here at ilfattoquotidiano.it we are proud to offer hundreds of new content for free to all citizens: news, exclusive insights, expert interviews, surveys, videos and much more.

THANKS FOR READING NOW XX ITEMS THIS MONTH.

But now we are the ones who need you. Because our work has a cost. We are proud to be able to offer hundreds of new content to all citizens for free every day. But advertising, at a time when the economy is stagnant, offers limited revenue. Not in line with the boom in access to ilfattoquotidiano.it. That is why I ask you to support us, with a minimum contribution, equal to the price of one cappuccino per week. A small but fundamental sum for our work. Give us a hand!
