The Zevitan and Zachi streams in the Golan Heights have been closed to the public for bathing, following the report of a number of cases of leptospirosis (Achberet in Hebrew), according to Channel 10 Television.
Earlier, the Ministry of Health said, "In any case, it is necessary to act in accordance with signs on hiking trails in the Golan Heights, and it is recommended not to enter reservoirs of standing water."
