13 arrests have been made so far at the Chords Bridge protest.

Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz called for continued vaccination in a recent interview. "I do not know if we will be in the middle of another wave within 3 weeks," he said. "This variant spreads faster than anything we have seen so far." Horowitz clarified that within the week, the Health Ministry will be offering vaccinations at 10 times as many schools as at present.
