Ashdod Mayor Yechiel Lesri said the city is experiencing a decline in morbidity, which would allow the closure. "This past week, we are seeing a decline in urban morbidity data. This compares with the past week. Therefore, I believe that the closure that began last Thursday and ended this morning will not be extended again by the Corona Government's wide-ranging advocacy and enforcement efforts. In a way that the closure can be removed while continuing to adhere to the Ministry of Health guidelines. "
