Three weeks after Israel reopened schools, COVID-19 cases have soared among it’s pupils and teachers, forcing authorities to close down schools again, according to the News Agency of Nigeria.
The number of pupils and staff in home quarantine grew from slightly more than 16,000 to almost 17,500 in little more than 12 hours. Also, four more Israeli lawmakers had to go into home quarantine, because they had had contact with an Arab lawmaker, who tested positive last week. Israel was quick to impose a stringent lockdown in mid-March, resulting in a relatively mild outbreak of the pandemic in the small Middle Eastern country.Schools were reopened on May 17, followed by hotels, swimming pools and restaurants some 10 days later.
