It accompanies a 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. check in time and conclusion all things considered and kindergartens.
The communities involved are the mostly Arab and ultra-Orthodox ones hit hard by the coronavirus outbreak.
Nine large Jewish and Palestinian neighbourhoods in Jerusalem, the settlements of Beitar Illit and Emanuel, and the Arab cities of Umm al-Fahm and Nazareth in northern Israel are also listed for lockdown.
