Ministers okay resumption of cultural events at outdoor venues
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleGovernment ministers say they’ll allow live performances to be held at outdoor venues, following months in which cultural events have been banned due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The announcement from the Prime Minister’s Office comes after a meeting Prime Minister Netanyahu, Finance Minister Israel Katz, Health Minister Yuli Edelstein and Culture Minister Chili Tropper held with representatives of the culture industry.
A PMO statement says event-goers will be divided into “capsules” of 20 people and that every venue will need Health Ministry permission before hosting performances. It also says plans will be drawn up to allow events in closed spaces.
