Less than a day into the entry of new corona regulations in shopping malls, business owners in the Grand Mall in the south are angry with the government, saying they do not understand the new outline at all, and fear it will severely hurt businesses.

Most of the business owners' criticism is directed at the differences in requirements between the various stores, the ban on seating in fast food restaurants, and the requirement for store owners to check the green label - instead of the guards at the entrance to the mall.

The regulations, which were announced last week and will take effect from midnight, are intended to help curb the spread of the Omicron strain.

Under the restrictions, the closed commercial complexes will operate according to a purple label according to the occupancy ratio of one person every 15 meters, and in extra large stores, which have an area larger than 100 square meters and are not defined as essential stores, entry will only be allowed to green labels. Malls will provide service only for green label, and that - through Pickup, without a meeting place. even employees of these businesses must have a green label.

from the new regulations excepted from places that provide essential services such as shops for hygiene, Optometrists, shops for the sale of prosthetics , Supermarket, grocery store or supermarket.The new regulations came after criticism was leveled at the ministers' previous attempt to introduce a green label in malls, and provide bracelets at the entrance.

"Outline does not make sense"

In the Grand Canyon in Be'er Sheva, they started folding tables on the fast-food floor this afternoon, and the restaurant owners are afraid of an economic blow.

"We are given the responsibility to check a green sign, it will hurt 50% of our income. What is the point of us checking a green sign? That at the entrance to the mall they will check," says Alex Eliashov, director of the mall's Mexican restaurant, who believes the government should compensate business owners.

"The government does not want to compensate. [We] leave workers, the costs the same costs - but do not compensate. Doing to get out by duty - it's wrong. The main thing is to transfer a budget," he says.

"We will be hurt financially."

Oshrit Ezerzer, owner of the "Bandura" shawarma in the Grand Canyon, also says that this layout will hurt fast food restaurants.

"It doesn't seem to make sense. If you can eat in restaurants, then why the fast food in the mall did not sit down to eat. It is more serious that the mall will check the green mark. When we check - it will create congestion on the spot," she says.

Not only restaurant owners are protesting.

Daniel Gozlan, owner of the ToC store in the mall, is convinced that "within limits there is no logic", as he puts it, referring to the difference between the conditions of entry to the mall, which require a purple mark, and the entrance to stores, which sometimes requires a green mark.

"We already feel it. Automatically people will not come in to us. This is a joke. What is the difference between entering the shops and the shops themselves. We will be hurt financially."
