Cabinet ministers on Thursday scrapped plans to shutter kindergartens and schools at 1 p.m. each day of the upcoming national lockdown, and will allow them to operate normally.
Kindergartens, grades 1-4 and 11-12 will study as usual during the lockdown, while grades 5-10 will study remotely.

Criticism of the plan grew after reports said there was no epidemiological justification for the restriction. Rather, it was made merely to “create a sense of lockdown” among the general public, rather than business as usual.

The Health Ministry said Wednesday morning that 2,862 new coronavirus cases had been confirmed the day before, the highest daily rise since Israel began steps to exit its second nationwide lockdown in October.
