I have a friend who (he and his wife/child) didn’t open the door to his apartment once except twice to get the delivered groceries at his door, after wiping down everything with disinfectant, for 3 full weeks. His father-in-law’s family did the same. Then, after approval from their doctor, he went for Yom Tov, for good reason.

Some people, even if they seem reckless, are actually being really careful.

There are many such cases without many realizing this, people shall not forget Mental Helalth can lead to early death. Everyone shall consult thier doctor and rabbi.

I think it's time some people stop blanketing people as reckless or stupid if they do something that seems so to them.
Always praying for delayed baggage.

What do “new cases” mean? Could it just mean fewer tests because of YomTov?

Hopefully it’s sustainable and we’re past the worst. Refuah Shleima to all those who need one.
I'm told that the number reflects test administered a few days prior.

It could be but I still feel with all the fear mongering by some frum websites any article from a credible source should be brought here - I would love to see more posts here as it gives people chizuk.

School on Sunday!?!?!?!

Let's wait for it to be official. It's only one person in the cabinet.

The end of this nightmare seems to be getting closer in Israel BH!!!

The Health Ministry has announced loosening of COVID-19 restrictions starting next week when 30% of employees will be allowed to return to work. Those who can continue to work from home will continue to do so. Anyone seventy years and older will still be required to stay at home as well as anyone over sixty-five with a pre-existing condition.

In another two weeks, at the beginning of May, 50% of employees will be permitted to return to work on regular shifts. Children from up to two families will be allowed to play together. Up to ten people will be allowed to pray together in an open space.

At the end of May stores will open but not yet malls. Hair cutting and beauty salons will also open with full protective measures taken and a limit of one customer at a time with no waiting allowed. Children will be allowed to gather in groups of up to five.

I think your last paragraph should be mid-May, not end of May

Quote from: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/government-could-make-decisions-on-closure-scale-back-tonight/
The source says the final plan will be more liberal than the proposals set out by the Health Ministry.

Seems like it will be something between Bennet's 100% opening and what ProIsrael quoted above.

Reopening stores, but keeping schools shuttered for another month :(
How does that even make any sense
