Which places can we go to without a green sign?
Without having to show a green sign, you can go to cinemas, gyms, shows with marked places, restaurants and cafes, football stadiums and more.
What about shows for kids?
In the case of performances where places are marked as seated, there is no need to display a green sign.
If there are no marked places, it is necessary to display a green sign.
The same is true of adult performances.
What about Ben Gurion Airport, hospitals and nursing homes?
Even today, they do not have to present a green sign.
Therefore there is no change regarding these places and entering them does not involve presenting a green sign.
When will the cancellation of the requirement to display the character take effect?
The decision will take effect tomorrow, subject to the approval of the Knesset's Constitution Committee.
The government approved the regulations restricting activity until March 1, subject to the following changes: abolition of the requirement to present a green label, except in places where there is a particularly high risk of infection, 1.5 meters between tables in the seating area in the open area of a dining room.

This is a fine of up to NIS 10,000 for a place that violates the obligation to operate within the green label, and NIS 1,000 for a person who is not vaccinated, does not recover or is not tested, who is staying there.
