The Corona Cabinet convenes today (Thursday) to discuss possible easing of the closure.

Among other things, the possibility of approving the opening of non-audience private businesses and the early childhood education frameworks on Sunday is being examined.

Defense Minister Gantz and Blue and White ministers held a preparatory meeting for the Corona Cabinet during which it was decided that they would be required to open businesses that do not receive crowds starting this coming Sunday in the purple character outline, opening preschool immediately after completing the required preparation, and opening takeaway services from restaurants.

Also, party ministers are demanding to start targeted treatment in red cities at the same time as leaving the quarantine.

At Gantz's request, Minister of Tourism Orit Farkash HaCohen, Minister of Labor and Welfare Itzik Shmuli and Minister of Culture and Sports Hili Trooper will be added to the cabinet discussion today.

Interior Minister Aryeh Deri sent a letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Bnei Gantz and Health Minister Yuli Edelstein regarding the continued closure of the red cities, in which he emphasized that these mayors should be given more powers and approved a package of tens of millions of shekels for red local authorities.

In addition, Deri wants to approve weddings and funerals in the open with the participation of 200 people.

According to Minister Deri's proposal to be presented to the Corona Cabinet, a wedding canopy ceremony that will be defined as a gathering in an open area, without seating and a meal will allow the participation of up to 200 people in defined capsules of 20 people per capsule and four meters between the capsules.

According to Deri's proposal, at the wedding itself, at events that include sitting and eating together, a maximum gathering of two capsules of 20 people will be allowed per capsule four meters between the capsules.

Sub-mayors have more powers.
