The malls have made it clear that the opening will be accompanied by anti-infection measures, including the recruitment of a "Corona Patrol" that will be responsible for preventing crowds, documenting non-wearing of a mask, controlling the enforcement of visitors to stores and issuing warnings and registration.

It will also include technology for identifying gatherings, activating an announcement of guidelines and banning gatherings, encouraging shopping at all hours of the day in order to gain visitors and dedicated opening to at-risk populations, real-time advertising on loads to regulate the number of visitors, marking waiting places outside stores at intervals Provide high frequency air exchange.

The owner of the "Factory 54" chain, Roni Irani, stated that he does not have branches in the malls that will be opened, but clarified that "if I had been in these malls, of course, I would have opened."

According to Irani, "I think this decision to close malls, open other places and do selective enforcement mixed with politics and lack of emotion in decisions raises the connotation of illegal orders."

"How is this reflected? Everyone in their own way violates the law individually or in an organized way. Nor is there really any enforcement, and even the cops who come to you feel the discomfort in enforcement and the irrationality in decisions."

The Malls Forum said in a statement that "the malls are preparing for the start of a 'safe opening' outline that will allow the malls to operate alongside the corona and return about half a million unemployed to work and the shopping and entertainment experience for visitors, safely and healthily, under strict guidelines. .

The forum notes that "a gradual opening of the store, which limits the number of stores, is not enough, it leads to overcrowding and crowding at the entrance and the end increases morbidity. The commerce and the malls are under strict guidelines that will provide a better health solution. "

In the background of their statement, the director general of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Hezi Levy, announced that an outline for the opening of malls across the country will soon begin. "We are going to a pilot experiment that we are building, which will include several malls in several places in the country."

Therefore, we do not open in a sweeping way, "he explained.
