With the number of coronavirus infections on the rise, Israel’s Cabinet approved today a series of restrictions concerning upcoming Memorial Day, Independence Day and Ramadan celebrations.
As of April 23, to coincide with the beginning of Ramadan, all stores in towns with majority Muslim populations will be closed to the public from evening until dawn, to discourage people from congregating for festive iftar dinners. Deliveries of food will continue, and pharmacies are allowed to stay open.
