Today the green character is expanded. What does this actually mean?
The green label will apply from today to all sectors of the economy, except malls and commerce.
These are cultural and sports events, conferences and exhibitions, hotels, gyms, studios, pools and country clubs, chapels with more than 50 people, halls and gardens, festivals, restaurants, bars, dining rooms and cafes, museums and libraries, tourist attractions, Amusement parks and universities and institutions of higher learning.
This means that entry will only be allowed with a green card certificate, a recovery certificate or upon presentation of a negative corona test.
Who funds the tests for children and at what age must they be presented?
The green mark will be applied from the age of 3. From today, the tests for ages 12-3 will be state-funded.
Children aged 12 and over who are not vaccinated and are not vaccinated will have to undergo privately funded tests.
Where can the quick tests be performed for free?
Recently, at the request of the Ministry of Health, MDA began operating an array of about 200 speed test complexes at Magen David Adom stations throughout the country and at other major centers. The full list of locations can be found on the MDA website.
In addition, starting today, MDA will also operate fast corona testing complexes (antigen) at Cinema City in Hadera, Be'er Sheva and Ashdod. Cost and no appointment in advance, green card for 24 hours to enter a movie and other attractions.
The entrance to the Cinema City malls complex itself will be allowed as usual without the need for inspection.
The complexes of Cinema City where there are already active testing complexes are in Jerusalem, Hadera, Beer Sheva, Ashdod and outside the Glilot complex.
Starting today and in the coming days, the preparations will be completed in all the Cinema City complexes in the country, and there will be active speed testing complexes.
What is the difference between a fast antigen test and a PCR?
PCR tests are valid for 72 hours.
Rapid tests (antigen) are valid for 24 hours.
Admission to hotels is only given upon presentation of a PCR test and this will be valid for the duration of the holiday.
Children aged 12-3 and vaccine engines will be able to perform PCR tests to stay at a hotel in Israel, at the health funds or at the Home Front Command stations free of charge.
In places where the purple mark applies, ie: malls and commerce, should a vaccine certificate be presented?
No, the purple outline applies to malls, theaters and venues, and it went into effect last Monday.
According to the purple layout, it is allowed to bring in people at a ratio of one person per 7 square meters. For example, in a 130-square-meter store, 18 people, including staff, can enter.
It should be noted that stores up to 100 square meters will be excluded, and the purple mark will not be applied to them.
Where should I wear masks?
Closed everywhere and in an outdoor gathering of more than 100 people.
What is the occupancy limit in halls and event gardens?
Up to 500 people in an open space and up to 400 people in an enclosed space.
Also, a gathering in excess of 75 percent of the maximum occupancy of the complex should not be held at these events.
What is the restriction on gathering at private events or in homes?
Up to 100 people in open space and up to 50 people in closed space.
What are the restrictions on gathering at mass events that do not have marked seating?
Up to 1,000 people in a closed space and up to 5,000 people in an open space.
What are the sanctions for violators of regulations?
For businesses, the fine depends on the size of the store - both for violating the occupancy limit on the purple mark and for operating a place without a green mark. This is a fine of NIS 5,000-1,000, depending on the area of the place in square meters. For private citizens, the fine is NIS 500 for not wearing a mask.
