Restaurants might be opening next week and Hotels next month

Posted on May 17, 2020 by Ifi Reporter - Dan Bielski

It appears that restaurants will be opening next week. The Ministry of Health agreed to open the restaurants a fortnight ago, instead of the original date set in the outline - June 14.
At a weekend meeting between the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Health, and on Thursday, a meeting of Health Ministry representatives and restaurant association representatives with the participation of CEO Shai Berman at Chef Haim Cohen's restaurant, realized that there was no escape from opening the restaurants and cafes.
The restaurant industry is angry that the restaurants are left behind while the economy returns to activity. Over the weekend, some of the restaurants in Tel Aviv have already opened the doors, contrary to the instructions. This is how Omar Miller's burger restaurant, Souso & Sun, Jaffa Cafe in Jaffa, Rosa Parks Bar, and Izzy Cafe in Tel Aviv opened. According to Tomer Moore, Jeremiah's owner and CEO of strong restaurants together: "On May 31, all restaurants and cafes will be open."
Shai Berman, CEO of the Restaurant Association: "The restaurants that opened at the weekend opened because of the distress of the business owners. As absurd as we are, people should not sit in the restaurant area or in the outdoor area of ​​the restaurant. We can sell at Tike Evie and our customers can take food and sit in an urban bench and eat but not sit at a clean table of the restaurant. So they take food and sit in Sderot, the square and an urban bench, where they do not disinfect it. "
In the meantime, the hotels will open for Shavuot and do not require the Ministry of Health's approval to open, because they did not close the order. The rock of controversy between hoteliers and the Ministry of Health is about the limitations that the firm demands. The hotels oppose the ministry's demand to limit the number of people in pool water to only 30 people. Another requirement of the office for the toddler pool to remain closed. This evening, a talk will be held between the Association of Hotels, the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Health, in the hope that the Ministry of Health will make it easier for pools and for dining rooms, after the hoteliers want to start serving tables.
