In line with the decision made by the Council of Ministers, the quarantine will begin at 2:00 p.m. local time on September 18 in the country, which has been affected by the second wave of the Kovid-19 outbreak, and will last 3 weeks.
According to the Hebrew calendar, people were banned from leaving their homes more than 500 meters under the general quarantine, sparking controversy over the New Year (Rosh Hashanah Festival) to be celebrated on September 18.
During the quarantine, businesses outside markets, pharmacies and bakeries, as well as schools, will remain closed.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said the quarantine decision would cost Israelis and the country’s economy a “high price,” but this step was taken to halt the increase in cases.
Housing Minister Yaakov Litzman resigned from office today in response to the practice of quarantine being coupled with Rosh Hashanah.
Most of the Kovid-19 measures were lifted in May after the daily number of cases fell below 20 in Israel.
