Jerusalem in the time of Corona is a special place! The streets and the shuk are emptier than they’ve ever been after last weeks announcement. If you missed BiBi’s update, here is the rundown.
We can no longer:
1. Gather in groups of more then 10
2. Be closer than 6 feet from one another
3. Eat at restaurants
4. Go to the gym
5. See a movie
What can we do? The answer is plenty!
