Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu tonight said that efforts are being made to fight the coronavirus.

"Citizens of Israel, I am proud of the public who took responsibility and kept the guidelines on Yom Kippur. We continue to work around the clock to stop the coronavirus plague in Israel.

"This includes preparing the winter health system, advocacy and enforcement efforts to wear masks and maintain social distance, a slow and gradual transition to a coronavirus routine with rapid tests, protecting the elderly, and many other steps. The steps we have set are:

"1. Closure.

"2. Gradual release to coronavirus routine with rapid testing.

"3. Vaccination.

"I ask everyone who sets up a sukkah for the holiday to do so with a mask and according to all the rules of distance. Together we will defeat coronavirus."
