At six o'clock this morning, the lockdown that was imposed on Erev Yom Tov (Wednesday) was lifted. It is now permitted to leave one's home for essential purposes.
Health Minister Yaakov Litzman said that a gradual restarting of the economy will only be possible if people adhere to the guidelines, adding that, "The danger posed by coronavirus hasn't passed. However, if we work together, we will defeat it."
