The new green label regulations, which state that a corona test is only valid for 24 hours, frustrate many parents, who are trying to find solutions for their children on hot summer days.
The parents claim that the new restrictions cause hassle and confusion, forcing them to cancel plans and avoid reaching businesses - which are currently begging for customers.
"It is difficult for us to accept the new guidelines," said Adi, a mother of three from the center.
"Apart from the fact that they are cumbersome and unclear, they make no sense. Why can I go with the kids to the mall, a closed and crowded place without any permission, but for an attraction that is usually limited to a few people, a check is needed? I have three small children up to 8 years old. "I can not go with them to restaurants, the pool or the cinema without checking them every day," Halina said.

Noa Levy from Holon said that last Wednesday she performed tests on her children because they wanted to enter the attraction.
She said, "There were hour-long queues, and we got results after 20 minutes. We did the tests because I promised my child a fun day that included a movie and a visit to the Children's Museum. "So what, do we do tests every day? On Sunday my son has a birthday. I decided to do all the activities on Saturday so as not to do a test day after day."
Yael from Kiryat Ono, a mother of three, also told of her hardships: "We were supposed to go on Saturday to a show at Meditech in Holon. My friend and I canceled it because it requires tests and preparations with the children on Friday, which is more complex. For any attraction, with tests that are only valid for 24 hours.In this situation I prefer to already go to the sea, where there is no need for tests and it is much simpler.

"Next week we plan to travel to the Western Wall tunnels in Jerusalem and the amusement park in Tel Aviv, and we will perform tests before that. There is no doubt that this is not an easy operation at all with three children. It has become a particularly exhausting thing. The difference in guidelines between the different places and the difference between the types of tests. "
