Police are developing plans for the implementation of social estrangement rules aimed at reducing the spread of coronavirus, according to Hebrew media.
The plan calls for the creation of a special headquarters in the police district, which, according to the Walla news website, will consist of officials in charge of preventing prohibited meetings and enforcing mandatory masking and business restrictions.
The report says the plan, which interim police commissioner Motti Cohen is expected to provide to The Minister of Public Security, Amir Ohana, foresees 400 officials operating from headquarters.
A police source told the news that the plan is not definitive and could come with other measures to block the spread of the virus.
Public broadcaster Kan notes that the drafting of the plan is opposed to a backdrop of ongoing delays to allow municipal inspectors to comply with the rules.

Tehran, Iran – People who do not wear a mask opposing the new coronavirus will be denied service in enclosed public spaces, Iranian President Hassan Rohani said as his government begins to make it mandatory.
The new measure enters into force as part of the authorities’ efforts to reduce a daily death toll that has been stubbornly kept in three digits.
But face masks are already mandatory on public transport in Iran and Tehran City Council recognizes that the rule is still heavily violated over the bus and the subway it serves.
Addressing Iran’s effort committee to stop its outbreak of the virus, the deadliest in the Middle East, Rohani said the new order “requires some to ensure that it will be respected.”
“In government offices, it will be less difficult: we can simply deny access to others who don’t have masks.”
Since the end of last month, the government has also introduced a public data campaign, with public television officials and presenters dressed in a mask in front of the camera to inspire its use.
But there’s no sign of a respite from the virus.
Ministry of Health spokeswoman Sima Sadat Lari recorded 148 deaths in the last 24 hours, up from 3pm yesterday.
Iran’s total death toll is now 11,408, adding 237,878 showed infections since it first reported its first cases last February.
