Two Week Lockdown

Israeli Knesset Ministers decided that Israel will go into its third national lockdown this coming Sunday at 5pm to limit the soaring spread of coronavirus. All in-person commerce will be stopped; malls will close again; restaurants must return to deliver-only service; offices will operate at 50% capacity while the remaining employees work from home. In addition, students in 5th-10th grades will return to 100% distance learning. Coronavirus czar, Nachman Ash, has said that two weeks will not be sufficient to limit rising morbidity from the virus, so there is potential that the lockdown will be longer. Please continue to pray for wisdom for Israel’s government, which makes decisions that affect the lives of millions of people every single day. Please also pray for relief from the virus, that Israel will be able to return to pre-lockdown conditions quickly!
