Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with the chief rabbis and other ultra-Orthodox representatives on Sunday evening to convince segments of the Haredi community to shutter their schools, in accordance with Health Ministry directives designed to contain the spread of COVID-19.

Netanyahu last week announced that schools would be closed to stem the outbreak and on Saturday night expanded the order to include daycare centers, special education and boarding schools.
