“We must do everything, as a government and as citizens, to not become infected and not to infect,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at press conference, The Jerusalem Post reported.

Netanyahu said grocery stores, pharmacies and gas stations would remain open but that all leisure activities are banned starting Sunday.

The prime minister also urged those who can stay home and work remotely to do so.
