The municipality of Bnei Brak has announced that it opposes the government's decision to impose a lockdown due to the high infection rate in the city.
"The decision to impose a closure on the city is disappointing and increases the distrust of the ultra-Orthodox public in the considerations of the coronavirus czar and the decision-makers,' said the municipality in a statement. "Closure contributes nothing to lowering the number of infected, or to slowing the rate of spread."
