Health Ministry weighing bringing back mask mandate for closed spaces

By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Israel's Health Ministry is currently weighing whether to reinstate the nationwide mask mandate in closed spaces, only days after it was lifted, following a worrying rise in cases, including some cases of the delta variant of coronavirus, which is considered more infectious and severe than other variants of the virus.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met with Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz for a situation assessment to discuss the spread of the disease within Israel on Sunday evening.
