This crazy 'much to do about nothing' is happening here too,we are going into lockdown Friday.
Health Ministry publishes the final list of restrictions ahead of the nationwide lockdown, set to take effect on Friday; the public will only be allowed to leave home to buy groceries, medicine or receive medical or essential services......which includes the closure of all "non-essential" businesses, except for synagogues that will be allowed to remain open under health guidelines.
The religious form part of the Government here ,so we can not harm them!!
Israeli government last week voted to impose another nationwide lockdown to combat the rapid spread of coronavirus, with the closure set to go into effect on Friday at 4pm, on the eve of the holiday of Rosh Hashanah, and last for at least three weeks.
Businesses in the field of trade, culture and entertainment will be closed, including beaches, swimming pools, gyms and restaurants.
Food stands at marketplaces,will remain open. Gatherings will be limited to 10 people in confined spaces and 20 people in open spaces.
In addition, movement will be restricted to 500 meters from home. The exception includes going out to purchase groceries, medicine, receive essential services and medical treatments. Essential workers will be allowed to move freely to and from their placed of employment.
The public will also be allowed to leave their homes to attend funerals, demonstrations, legal proceedings, to transfer a child from one parent to another (if they live separately) and perform the ritual of "mikveh".
Synagogues, however, will be allowed to remain open during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Prayers in open spaces will be permitted with up to 20 worshipers, with social distancing rules applied, while in confined spaces up to 10 people will be allowed to pray. ( Do you think the police will be going into Synagogues?....I don't !!!)
Yes. This insanity is endless...
The Government takes it up the back side yet again from the religious. We all know you can't get Corona from inside a synagogue right? Unbelievable how much they bend for these fools.
If Netanyahu looses those votes from the Haredi (religious) Mk's then he would be "out of business" so he had to choose or to remain as P.M. or the health of the citizens, and you know what he will choose,or chose!)
