In good time:
The football and basketball industries, for men and women, are officially back.
In the Corona Cabinet, held today (Thursday) in a telephone poll, the immediate return of the senior leagues in football and basketball, for men and women, was approved, despite the extension of the general closure on the State of Israel.
The resumption of activity came after a protracted and stubborn struggle by the chairman of the football leagues, Erez Kalfon, and the chairman of the basketball board, Shmuel Frenkel.
The National League in both industries will not return to activity at this stage, as agreed.
Meaning:
The 16th round of the Premier League, which was supposed to take place before the third closure took effect, will take place at the end of Saturday.
"I am happy that after a struggle we were able to bring the games back as early as this coming weekend," said Culture and Sports Minister Hili Trooper.
A joint statement from the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Health stated: "The Ministerial Committee for Corona has approved allowing football and basketball games to be held in the senior leagues, while maintaining the Ministry of Health's guidelines. "Competition of a professional athlete. The decision will take effect within 24 hours."
