The coronavirus cabinet will meet on Tuesday evening to decide on the reopening of schools for ages 0-10.
Ministers will not be asked to vote on sending high school students that have their Matriculation exams this year, back to class because of the increased risk of contagion posed by the UK variant of COVID-19.
"The youngsters over 16 have not all received their vaccines and the virus is sure to spread among them," Health Minister Yuli Edelstein said on Monday.
