A senior Health Ministry official said the next phase of the exit from the nationwide lockdown will likely be postponed by three weeks due to increasing coronavirus infection rate. The third phase of exit will include reopening malls, open-air markets, and gyms as well as bringing children in fifth and sixth grades back to school. There has been a slight rise in infections in the country, which has caused some concern that reopening too quickly will cause a third wave of infection. Please continue to pray for Israel’s infection rate to go down. Please also continue to pray for all who are still deeply affected by the lockdown, for provision and strength.
