Jerusalem -
Israel began on Sunday to get out of its third confinement since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, in full vaccination offensive, with the opening of stores, hairdressers and markets.
The Government had announced the lightening as of Sunday of the confinement initiated at the end of December to try to contain a new wave of contamination.
On Sunday morning, non -essential businesses opened in Jerusalem, such as Eli Aroas hairdresser.
"I informed my clients that we resumed the work (...) Clients will arrive soon and we hope it is the end of this story," says this 58 -year -old barber who hopes to get their instruments.
Sarit Reouven, 49, came to the center of Jerusalem to buy shoes, just in time for his son's wedding, Monday.
"This reopening is a good thing. There is a wind of optimism (...) I think you can see the end of the crisis," he says, and expects this to be his "last confinement."
"The last year we learned many things that we would not have learned in another way and that has reinforced us, (...) now feels good, we see how a return to routine," says Yaakov Maman, seller of shirts of about 30 years.
Since mid -December, thanks to an agreement with the American pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, Israel has vaccinated more than 3.4 million people (about 40% of its population), of which two million already received their second dose.
Despite confinement measures and vaccination campaign, January registered the greatest amount of dead since the beginning of the pandemic in Israel, with more than 1,000 deaths.
Israel, with 9 million inhabitants, has registered in total 686,000 infections and 5,074 deaths, according to official data. (YO)
