It's Purim, and these headlines may seem like they are a Purim joke, but I assure you they are all real. Seems like we've entered the Twilight Zone, the zone between the world as we know it and a new world that we've never seen before.
Israel to Quarantine all Incoming Passengers
In a dramatic but expected announcement, Prime Minister Netanyahu announced on Monday evening that everyone entering Israel will be required to enter quarantine for two weeks, due to the Coronavirus threat.
The obligatory quarantine policy will be in place for the next two weeks (which is approximately until two weeks before Pesach), after which the policy will presumably be reevaluated.

I was asking the store manager if, in light of the various travel restrictions, there will be the usual "Jerusalem" Pesach matzot which come in a gold box, and which i prefer the most. He said no problem, all the Pesach stuff has already been in the U.S. for a month, even if not in the store yet.
