Following a four-day nationwide lockdown, restrictions were eased somewhat on Friday morning, allowing people to leave their homes for essential services and to travel to other cities for work purposes.
On Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a four-day national lockdown in an effort to curb the spread of coronavirus.
The national lockdown prevented intercity travel on Tuesday evening and banned citizens from leaving their homes from Wednesday evening until Thursday morning, making sure that people spend the Passover seder evening in their own homes.
Dubbed “Operation Spring Protection,” thousands of police officers, roughly 1,400 unarmed IDF soldiers, helicopters and drones were deployed to enforce the regulations.
The Health Ministry reportedly advised enforcing the severe lockdown regulations throughout the entire eight-day holiday, but others in the government were opposed.
“The sweeping closure of Israel, which was very correct at the beginning, cannot continue to be the main tool over time due to its devastating impact on businesses and jobs in Israel,” Defense Minister Naftali Bennett stated.
“The Health Ministry is rooted in an ideology that does not believe in the centrality of testing, which is a tool for exiting this crisis,” he said.
Meanwhile, a new restriction will be enforced on Sunday morning, requiring all citizens over the age of six or who have a disability to wear a mask in public.
As of Friday, the number of Israelis infected with coronavirus reached 10,095, of whom 164 are in serious condition, and 93 have died.
Despite the rising numbers, good news came on Wednesday after a five-week-old baby boy infected with coronavirus was reported to be in good condition.

周一，内塔尼亚胡总理宣布了为期四天的全国封锁，以遏制冠状病毒的传播。
全国封锁阻止了周二晚上的城市间旅行，并禁止公民从周三晚上到周四早晨离开家，确保人们在自己的家中度过逾越节。
数以千计的警察被称为“春季保护行动”，部署了约1400名无武装的以色列国防军士兵，直升机和无人驾驶飞机来执行法规。
据报道，卫生部建议在整个八天假期期间严格执行严格的禁闭规定，但政府中的其他人对此表示反对。
国防部长纳夫塔利·本内特说：“一开始就完全正确地关闭以色列，由于其对以色列企业和工作的毁灭性影响，随着时间的推移，它不能继续成为主要工具。”
他说：“卫生部植根于不相信测试中心性的意识形态，这是摆脱这场危机的工具。”
同时，一项新的限制措施将于周日早上开始实施，要求所有六岁以上或有残疾的市民在公共场合戴口罩。
截至周五，感染冠状病毒的以色列人数量达到10095，其中164人处于严重状况，另有93人死亡。
尽管人数在增加，但周三传来好消息，据报道一个感染了冠状病毒的五周大男婴情况良好。
