Israel to ease some coronavirus restrictions, Netanyahu says

Israel will gradually ease its coronavirus lockdown from Sunday by letting some businesses reopen and relaxing curbs on movement after a slowdown in infection rates, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.Authorities have steadily tightened a partial lockdown imposed on March 14, shuttering offices, closing schools and ordering people to stay mostly at home.The measures have battered Israel's economy, forced many businesses to close and sent unemployment above 25%.
