Last week, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett instructed to step up green law enforcement while emphasizing immediate reporting | The responsibility was placed on the Ministry of Homeland Security
Following the directive of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, the Israel Police will be preparing from tomorrow (Sunday) to significantly tighten the enforcement of the green label. The increase in enforcement will be reflected both in increasing surprise visits to businesses that require the green label and in refining the directive for police officers, who will ensure that entry to the business or cultural event is done using a current barcode only and not using printed certificates.
On Thursday last week, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett held a situation assessment regarding the corona virus and the omicron strain, where it was decided to focus on reporting immediately, without warning, in violation of the rules.
Remember, these are the rules of the green sign – places where the sign is activated: cultural and sports events, conferences and exhibitions, hotels, gyms and studios and country clubs, prayer houses for over 50 people, halls and event gardens, and festivals.
Other places where the green mark is required: the seating area in a closed space of restaurants, bars, dining rooms and cafes, museums and libraries, park attractions located in the building, and universities and institutions of higher learning.
As is well known, green mark certificates are required for everyone: vaccinated, recovering and also tested with a negative result. As part of the green mark policy by age groups: ages 0-3 and children up to the age of 12 who present a disability certificate, are exempt from presenting a green mark. Ages 3-12 State-funded tests; Ages 12 and up: The tests are privately funded.
