Jerusalem, Dec 24: Israel announced Thursday that it will impose a nationwide lockdown from next week, its third of the Covid-19 pandemic, just days after it began vaccinations against the virus. A general lockdown will be imposed from 17:00 (1500 GMT) on Sunday for two weeks, a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu s office said. There is an option to extend the lockdown for an additional two weeks unless the basic reproduction number (for the virus) falls below 1 and the number of new cases per day falls below 1,000.
Israelis will be barred from travelling more than one kilometre (1,000 yards or so) from their homes and businesses will be closed except for deliveries.
