Israel is edging toward another, at least partial lockdown that includes the closure of almost all trade, a special IDF taskforce said Wednesday.
The government said last week if the average number of daily cases reaches 2,500 or if the coefficient of infection rises to 1.32, it will enforce the policy of tight restraint for at least three weeks. This includes, among other things, closure of the trade sector and the education system in red and orange municipalities.
