Government ministers unanimously approved virus czar Ronni Gamzu’s plan to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic by dealing with cities based on their morbidity rates on Sunday evening, after several previous attempts to okay the scheme came up short.
The plan, known by the moniker, “traffic light,” is meant to differentiate between locales based on their respective coronavirus infection rates, with “red” localities subject to the strictest restrictions followed by “orange,” “yellow,” and “green” ones, with the latter enjoying the loosest rules regarding crowds in outdoor and indoor spaces.
