Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHundreds of businesses and shops are to remain closed tomorrow as a show of protest against the government, Channel 12 reports, amid demands for compensation.
Over 200 stores including those belonging to popular chains such as Fox, Castro, H&M, and Cafe Cafe will not open their doors even as measures lifting pandemic restrictions are to go into effect at midnight tonight. According to a government decision Friday, stores that aren’t in shopping malls will be allowed to operate if they adhere to guidelines regarding cleanliness, the wearing of protective gear and enforcing social distancing.
Business owners are demanding government compensation for operation losses in line with aid provided to small businesses in Israel.
