Following the government's decision to extend the closure by 10 days, business owners and the self-employed around the country are outraged and warned that they are not able to survive, after the closure has already been tightened once. 

Advocate Uriel Lin, president of the Association of Chambers of Commerce, argued that extending the closure is a serious mistake. “This is a serious blow to the business sector without a real need.

In addition to the loss of revenue of NIS 1.8 billion per day, the closure undermines the business sector's confidence in the Corona Cabinet policy, undermines the motivation of the self-employed to develop businesses, lowers private consumption and increases unemployment.

These are long-term damages in the face of very little benefit in closing the trade. "

In the opinion of the Association of Chambers of Commerce, "strict purple mark conditions" should be adopted.

These conditions will ensure that with the opening of trading, the morbidity will be minimal.

The union further argues that "all resources should be directed to law enforcement uncompromisingly in those known foci of coronary heart disease and morbidity. And the vaccination campaign went down the drain. "

Among the industries found in the offspring were the trade, tourism, restaurants, events and cosmetics industries.

Hila Tubali, owner of the "tidy" nail and tanning business in Acre, told "Israel Today": "We have been in a closure for over a month and are now extending it again. It's psychic. "Without a request for support from anyone, they become a burden on the state. This is future damage to all businesses."

"My clients did not sit and wait. In the meantime they will do at home or in a pirate place. I only work from the business while allowed to work. I am 15 years in the field, and now I have to build everything from scratch. I can not keep these clients, it is impossible to zoom nails. "Mine has been in a significant drop in revenue for over a year, and it's getting worse. I don't know how we will get out of it."

Tomer Moore, CEO of Strong Restaurants Together and a member of the Israel Trade Forum, added: "4,000 restaurateurs have already closed their businesses, 25,000 families who do not know what will happen tomorrow, 140,000 workers who are in the IDF and will not return to work in restaurants.

This is the reality of the restaurant industry. "

Restaurant owners demand that in light of the closure extension, at least TA services be approved, which provide additional revenue and breathable air to businesses.

"In light of the government's decision to extend the closure, a decision that will hit hard on restaurateurs across the country, we demand to reduce the damage by approving the opening of the takeaway starting tomorrow morning. "The percentage of infections in restaurants, according to data from the Ministry of Health, is zero. I call on decision makers to open the takeaway and approve an outdoor meeting for the benefit of the public and for business owners all over the country, whose lives are in danger."
