The Israeli government approved a series of easements, including partially reopening the economy, raising the workforce in the private sector to 30 percent from 15 and partially reopening stores. The new regulation will go into effect as of Sunday until May 3.   

The measures relax the lockdown significantly, raising the active workforce in the private sector to 30 percent from 15 and allowing the high-tech sector to extend its activity, so long as businesses can follow Health Ministry directives.
