Starting tonight: a green mark at cultural events and prayers for over 100 people in the open
The Corona Cabinet approved in a telephone poll the new restriction, when so far it has been attributed to events attended by 1,000 people or more.
The Ministry of Health also announced that in gatherings of over 50 people in the open, the obligation to wear a mask will apply.
The order on the obligation to wear the mask was signed yesterday, but was not brought to the public's attention

The Corona Cabinet this evening (Thursday) confirmed in a telephone poll a mandatory green card at cultural events and prayers held in an open area with over a hundred participants, instead of a thousand people, as has been the practice so far.
The Ministry of Health also announced that in gatherings of over 50 people in the open, it will be mandatory to wear a mask.
The move will be discussed at the beginning of next week in the Knesset's Health Committee.
The order on the obligation to wear the mask was signed yesterday, but was not brought to the public's attention.

Meanwhile, the Director General of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Nachman Ash, confirmed that the fourth vaccine dose will only be given
to vaccine suppressants
, provided that at least 4 months have passed since the date of receiving the third
vaccine dose. Liver:
Patients with rheumatological or autoimmune diseases, patients with multiple sclerosis or patients with a primary immune system deficiency
. Corona projector Prof. Zarka said that the Ministry of Health is expected to refer to the fifth wave as a "combined wave", and that no distinction will be made between Delta and Omicron strains. This is despite the fact that so far the Omicron strain has been found to be less lethal. "In the coming days the morbidity will reach such a large increase that we will no longer be able to sequence each case and treat everyone as an omicron," Zarqa said.

Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz said that "we are prepared for high levels of infection, it is happening all over the world and here too. We have gained valuable time thanks to balanced actions.
Horowitz referred to the policy of isolation, also on returnees from abroad. "If it is ineffective and unnecessary, we will not just limit.
That's common sense.
We examine the need and effectiveness of bringing in vaccinated people returning from abroad for isolation.
He stressed that "there is no need to intimidate the public, the apocalyptic scenarios are only harmful. There is no reason to talk about closure - it is not about the episode."
The minister also referred to the need to strengthen the health system: "We have a demand for more budgets - beds and manpower. I hope the Treasury will understand that there are things that are not compromised."
