TV: Health Ministry seeking to put cap on restaurant diners, close beaches

The Health Ministry is seeking to limit the number of diners at a restaurant to 20 and close beaches and public parks as part of the stepped-up effort to contain the coronavirus, Channel 12 reports.

Ministers on Monday will discuss the various proposals, with treasury officials pushing back at those that will hurt business owners.

Channel 12 says summer schools and camps may be forced to keep children in groups of up to 15 under the new guidelines.

Earlier, the Knesset approved new rules, effective Monday morning, which will see synagogues, bars, nightclubs and event venues capped at 50 people.
