Ministers set to vote on Health Ministry s outline later in the day, which proposes that capsules should be immediately ended for 4th graders, followed by grades 5-6 in 10-days time if initial move does not lead to rise in infection rates

Israel later on Thursday is set to scrap the capsule study system for fouth graders, moving closer to ending coronavirus restrictions on schools as infection rate keeps falling.
Israel s coronavirus restrictions have almost all been lifted due to the country s high-paced vaccination campaign. However, since children below the age of 16 currently cannot be vaccinated, many curbs on the education system have remained in place but are set to expire this Saturday.

Forced into a weekslong shutdown for the third time since the start of the pandemic, business owners on Thursday protested the nationwide lockdown set to come into force on Sunday to stem virus infections.
The government regulations, which permit the partial opening of some school grades, also drew criticism from parents and local authorities, who called for the swift vaccination of teachers.
“It feels like this lockdown is unnecessary,” Shani Nuri Mamalia, a cosmetician from the central town of Kfar Saba, told the Ynet news site. “It’s confusing and frustrating to all industries. This is a war of attrition against us.”
