Deputy Director General of the Ministry of Health Prof. Grotto said: “We will come up with a proposal to amend regulations with a uniform distribution of people that will allow more than 10 people to enter the shops.
If the pilot is successful, we will hold a discussion in the cabinet, but we think it will be possible to expand it to all the malls. "
The committee's chairman, MK Yaakov Asher, responded: "Reducing the reasonable amount of shopping in the country from 200 to 15 malls is a loophole that calls for the pressure that has indeed arrived. We need to go for something reasonable with the right layout, for profit."
Grotto went on to say that "the purple character was fine and set correct epidemiological rules but the problem was in public compliance and on the other side in enforcement, so we decided to pilot how it works in terms of rising morbidity. We measure compliance with guidelines mostly pen masks and distance. By business owners so that there is part of such enforcement, and part of the enforcement of the authority and the police. "
He added: "We do not insist on zero risks and this is also related to the general infection. In my opinion there is no room for an intermediate stage and there is a connection to the disease situation because opening 200 malls is different from 15 One does not want to. "
The committee chairman responded: “The pilot is examining whether the rules work within the mall complex.
If it appears over the weekend that self-enforcement is good and that the pilot has succeeded in replacing the standard enforcement of the police and supervisory bodies which is probably not so successful, and the behavior was according to the rules.
What is currently related to the R coefficient?
At least you would present a plan that after an initial success phase goes up to 40 stores and then to 60, give us a horizon.
