Jerusalem market reopens after weeks of lockdown

A market in Jerusalem reopened on Thursday, as Israel eases restrictions following stability in new coronavirus cases.

Temperatures checks were made at the Mahane Yehuda market entrance, and shoppers were required to wear masks and keep two-metre distances from each other.

Israel imposed sweeping restrictions on movement and ordered most businesses to close in mid-March.

So far, Israel's Ministry of Health has confirmed 16,346 infections and 239 deaths.
