As of Wednesday morning, all restrictions that the government decided on yesterday came into effect. As of today, there are no more events in the halls and banquets, which only returned to activity two months ago after the closure. 

The owners of the halls were invited yesterday to video chat with Prime Minister Netanyahu, voice their distresses due to the repeated restrictions and demand immediate solutions. Today, they are expected to hold a conference call with Treasury Director-General, the Turner-Eyal Foundation.

"We held a conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to deliver a clear and clear message: The events industry collapsed, leaving some 200,000 workers and hall owners who found themselves without income as of March, and continue to experience financial harm and mental turmoil," said the Association of Halls and Events.

Yesterday, the restrictions on the restaurants allowed 20 guests to stay inside and another 30 outside, if such a complex exists in the restaurant. 

Even the restaurants have harsh feelings about the new restrictions. "It doesn't matter if we open or close. The situation right now is that there is simply no Vibe," shares Israel Bar Levi, co-owner of the WayCup cafe in Tel Aviv. "Even if we stay open, people do not come because they are afraid or do not feel it comfortable.

Even if you're open, people don't want to sit down. They are afraid of limitations, fines or just getting infected. The morale of us is not something, try to stay optimistic but a little hard when you get up every morning to a new sector and have to call people and cancel the place they have invited. "
