Israelis are required to wear faces masks when venturing outside in accordance with a new Health Ministry directive that came into effect on Sunday morning. The measure was approved by the government this past week.

Under the new rules, masks must be worn when leaving home and should cover the nose and the mouth. This does not apply to children under age 6; people with emotional, mental or medical conditions that would prevent them from wearing a mask; drivers in their cars; people alone in a building; and two workers who work regularly together, provided they maintain social distancing.

The masks can be homemade, makeshift, or bought, according to the authorities. The order had previously been issued as a recommendation.

  1. Just in case this is relevant for some, the police will not be giving fines for not wearing masks, so if you need to leave your home for something important, and are nervous because you don’t have a mask, don’t worry.

    • Can I quote you if the cops stop me? Shmerel assured me that you would make nice to me even without my wearing the mask.

  2. Should have been required years ago, along with recommendations that children under 6 and those with conditions are encourage to wear a mask if / when they can. This would have drastically cut flu cases and other diseases. The No Vax objections would have been addressed too, as well as everyone else’s.
