After the government decided to abolish the weekend restrictions, the economy and the public breathe a little more, but the frequent changes are confusing among the public • What industries are still waiting to return to activity, what are the restrictions and what are the general guidelines for the public? • Full guide

After the government decided tonight (Thursday) to lift the weekend restrictions, the Israeli public and the economy are getting some more air.

Prof. Gamzo: "Morbidity in Israel - the highest in the world"

However, there are still valid restrictions on some of the activities, and entire industries, culture and events are still virtually closed. In order to make order, and in light of the public confusion expressed in the Home Front Command survey published in "Israel Today", below is the guide to guidelines and restrictions.

The decision of the Corona Cabinet last night, which was approved today at the telephone cabinet meeting, in fact stipulated that the shops and shopping centers could open this weekend. In recent weeks the same businesses have been forced to close every Friday at 5pm until Sunday at 5am. 

Also, the restriction on stays in public playgrounds will be lifted. The rest of the national restrictions that have been in effect so far will continue. They are expected to expire on Monday, but will be renewed in the coming days. 

In addition, the Corona Cabinet authorized the Minister of Health, the Minister of Transport, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the National Security Council, in consultation with the relevant government ministries, to advance the outline for the opening of the sky on August 16, which will be approved by the Corona Cabinet soon.

In a special briefing held today, the Corona commissioner, Prof. Roni Gamzo, said: "The morbidity rate in Israel is the highest in the world per capita." On the possibility of closure he said: "At the moment we will wait with such drastic measures".

According to Prof. Gamzo's policy of differentiation between the different cities before the illness (green, orange and red in ascending order), the following policy will be pursued in the "red" and "orange" cities: 

Extensive massive support system and assistance to the population, while supporting the management of the local authority. 

2. Improving the cutting of the contagion chains in these cities with operational tools led by the Home Front Command, as soon as possible. 

3. Ensure the isolation of the family unit to prevent inter-family infection and provide spot assistance to families.

4. Enforcement and implementation of current restrictions on gatherings and gatherings.

5. Management of a flexible evacuation system while providing local quotas above the strict criterion, in the management of FKAR and the HMOs. 

6. Restrictions on the education system - in coordination with the education system
