Coronavirus: Israel to impose three-week national lockdown
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-54134869
Israel is to impose a new national lockdown - becoming the first country in the world to take such a measure to contain the spread of coronavirus.
It will begin on Friday and last three weeks, including Jewish new year.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the measures would "exact a heavy price on us all", but the country faced a surge with 4,000 new daily infections.
Note: Especially if there is a second surge ov Covid cases due to cold weather and new flu strains, there will be more widespread lockdowns. Massive testing is initiated in lockdowns to identify unknown cases and quarantine them. So expect increased demands for tests.
