Israel makes indoor mask requirement mandatory again
Israel reintroduced the mandatory wearing of face masks indoors on Friday in a bid to counteract rising coronavirus infection rates, dpa international said.
The measure was almost completely lifted in mid-June, but from Friday everyone was required to wear a face mask again indoors, the Health Ministry said.
People are only exempt from the rule when exercising or at home. It also doesn’t apply to small children.
The ministry also recommended wearing a mouth-and-nose covering during large outdoor events like the Pride Parade taking place in Tel Aviv on Friday.
