The list of red cities where a night closure is scheduled to begin starting Tuesday at 7 PM is expected to be published Tuesday morning, with Israel marking a large increase in the number of coronavirus patients: on Monday, 3,392 individuals were diagnosed with corona out of more than 40,000 tests. Israel’s death toll stands at 1,026, or 114 deaths per million.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explained in a statement to the media the decision to postpone by one day the imposition of the closure: “According to the law, we must hear and consult about each and every one of the cities, so we needed another 24 hours.”
