Public transport in Israel will stop entirely on weekends and after 8pm on weekdays as part of an effort to mitigate the coronavirus spread.
In a new directive issued on Tuesday, the Health Ministry said people should not to leave their homes unless they have to seek “vital needs and services” such as seeking medical attention.
It said that parks, beaches and shopping centres were now off-limits, and that Israelis would be permitted to shop for food only if they had no delivery options.
“There should be no leaving home except for situations that would obligate it,” the ministry said in a statement.
