The Corona Cabinet confirmed tonight (Monday) in a telephone poll that it has reduced the number of shoppers in malls.

This is due to the congestion in the shopping complexes that opened as part of the pilot last Friday.



Ministers are expected to confirm that the ratio of those staying in the mall will be 1 to 15 square meters, instead of 1 to 7 square meters today.

Also, in stores with a size of more than 150 square meters, the number of occupants will be in a ratio of 1 to 15 square meters and without a numerical ceiling.

Smaller stores will remain in its current format - 1 to 7 square meters up to ten people.

Earlier today, the Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee discussed the pilot regulations due to the congestion observed.

But at the end of the hearing, no decisions were made.

The chairman of the committee, MK Yaakov Asher (Torah Judaism) said that the pilot will not be extended after Sunday as long as its format does not change.



"We will not agree to approve the extension of the pilot as it is, we must expand it to more malls and produce a more correct geographical distribution, it is impossible to push all Israeli citizens to 15 malls," said Asher.

"On the one hand we are pushing back to routine and welcoming the decision, but on the other hand it is not happening enough, and I am not sure how correct the definitions of the lotteries are and reflect equality."



"We saw the pictures of the density and it clearly does not make sense," Asher stated.

Also on Saturday night, Health Minister Yuli Edelstein convened his office staff for an urgent discussion regarding the continuation of the pilot.

This morning, MK Asher argued in a committee hearing that this was due to a lack of dispersal.
