"Government creates cannibalism enterprise"

The organization was established last April, following the first closure that led to the closure of the institutes.

In the letter, his heads continued to attack the Ministry of Health.

The organization's chairman, Yaron Sela, owner of the Great Shape chain, told Walla! Business: "After a demonization campaign conducted by the Ministry of Health against gyms and studios, decision-makers use us as a surprise egg to incentivize the public to get vaccinated, all at the expense of business owners.

If the Ministry of Health understands that the fitness industry is an essential industry for public health, the ministers of finance, health and its head are invited to subsidize the immunization incentives and help business owners overcome the heavy losses they expect as a result of opening a green card. "

Doron Cohen, owner of Studio C: Between business owners, employees and customers.

The decisions of the Ministry of Health will lead to a war of all in all.

It is not possible for the Israeli government to abandon business owners in the industry to deal with legal issues with employees and customers regarding customers' entry into gyms, studios and swimming pools.

Some people have not yet had time to get vaccinated and some cannot get vaccinated with a doctor's instruction, what will happen to them?

This is complete madness.

The disparaging attitude of the decision-makers in the fitness industry as if it were a recreation and leisure industry instead of a health industry is the main disease and epidemic, not the corona. "

Dr. Koti Meridan, CEO of Kosel, which operates the sports facilities at the Hebrew University:" After almost a year of closing and opening The industry, the government is opening the gyms with a few days' notice, this is a scandal.

Anyone who thinks that business will continue exactly from the point where we went out to close, just does not understand what he is talking about.

"We go back years to recruiting customers, recruiting employees, rehabilitating equipment and, most importantly, restoring the image of the industry that crashed in the face of destructive decision-making for too long."

Won't we get back to this soon?

The organization explained that in light of the rate of vaccinators in Israel, only 25 to 30 percent of the fitness industry's potential customers now meet the criteria that allow them to return and train in an organized framework.

"The organization cannot accept a situation where business owners will be required to meet 100 percent of their business expenses while the business turnover potential is derived from only 25 percent of customers. Any outline of opening businesses in the sports and fitness industry requires a period of technical organization, recruiting employees and customers, encouragement Customers and staff go to get vaccinated, etc. 45 days minimum from the moment of receipt and publication of any decision by the Ministry of Health.

Take into account that even after a full return to the sport and fitness activities, business owners will not start their activities from the point where forced to close their businesses, and many of them will return near the starting point of their business activities in terms of recruiting customers and employees. "

In conclusion, reads:" The representatives of owners "Businesses in the sports and fitness industry accept with disgust and bitter disappointment the conduct of the Ministry of Health, the Corona Cabinet and the Israeli government regarding the policy of opening businesses with green passports for coronary and vaccinated only and call on the Minister of Health and the Prime Minister to meet soon with the organization.
