Despite the increase in the number of people in Corona, the ministers approved a telephone referendum on the relief of restrictions • In events other than a religious ceremony, only 50 participants will be allowed a quota

The Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Health today announced an update on emergency regulations. According to the ministry's statement, the government confirmed in a telephone poll that as of this coming Sunday, June 14, weddings or religious ceremonies will be possible, including a Bat Mitzvah ceremony and an event to mark the birth of a daughter or son. All this provided that the number of participants did not exceed 250 women and men - except for the hall's employees - and one person for every two square meters.

The announcement stated that in addition, the hall's operator had to "require the initiator of the event to make available a telephone list of those present at the event, and to keep this list for 20 days from the date of the event. These factors may require the list of participants for conducting an epidemiological investigation and amputation of the infection chain. "

The announcement also stated that other events other than a wedding or religious ceremony would be held in accordance with the rules previously set: "In open space where events are held for the public, and the number of participants will not exceed the permitted ban - 50 people at present. Operating would be a criminal offense. "
