The tests for ages 12-3 will be state-funded.
For ages 12 and up the tests will be privately funded (only for those who are not vaccinated by choice).

Restrictions on restaurants and mass events
The kids, like all the green daughter businesses, will have to pass tests.
Shai Berman, CEO of the Restaurant Association said: “Of course it is going to affect us.

"Once they can not enter, neither the parents come nor the whole family. We anticipate that this will greatly hurt our business. The whole matter of a quick check is irrelevant to the restaurant because unlike the flight that people might agree to be checked, no one would be willing to check to enter the restaurant ", said.
Events without seating are marked: In a closed space, up to 1,000 people will be allowed to enter.
Up to 5,000 people will be allowed in an open space.
