Katz, Blue and White pushing for resumption of takeout, some business activity

Reports indicate that Finance Minister Israel Katz and the Blue and White party are demanding that small businesses that do not have contact with the public be okayed to open Sunday, along with allowing restaurants to resume takeout service.

The arguments are taking place as the coronavirus cabinet meets on the possible lifting of lockdown restrictions.

Channel 13 reports that Katz is pushing for localized restrictions in high infection areas and wants to budget extra money to help businesses in those places.
