For the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality will hold concerts for hundreds of children throughout the Independence Day weekend, with the help of rapid COVID-19 testing.
While most of Israel’s adult population has already received the Pfizer/BioNTech jab, the vaccine has not yet been approved for use in children under the age of 16.
As cases of the coronavirus continue to fall in Israel, the Health Ministry decided this year to allow municipalities to hold large-scale Independence Day celebrations, with few restrictions in place.
