The Health Ministry also noted that Israel now has five "red" towns: Kfar Yona, Sha'arei Tikva, Maaleh Adumim, Zufim, and Yehud.
According to News 13, the Health Ministry plans to recommend opening the school year using the "capsule" system, in order to prevent possible outbreaks which would force schools to return to distance learning and allow students to learn in person with minimal risk to their health.
In addition, the Health Ministry will request that the Coronavirus Cabinet delay the entry of individual tourists into the country until September 1, instead of allowing tourists in on August 1.
