Coronavirus: Regulations eased up, certain stores reallowed to open
[JPost] - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Saturday night a partial release of the restrictive measures imposed by the government to contrast the coronavirus outbreak.

Among other, Netanyahu announced that certain type of stores facing the street will be able to open, sports activities up to 500 meters will be allowed and praying with a quorum in open spaces up ten people keeping a distance of two meters from each other will also be permitted again.

"The good results we have achieved allow us today to take measures in the opposite direction, not to make them more stringent but to relieve them," Netanyahu said addressing the Israeli public. "From tomorrow we start opening up both the personal sphere and the economic sphere."

Netanyahu added that the government views the public health and the economy as two limbs of the same body.
Optimization, not either or, capisce?
They include rising the number of workers permitted in every business from 15 to 30% while standards were set for businesses allowed to operate detailing the conditions under which they can open.

Among stores that can open are electronics, furniture, house supplies and computer, as long as they are accessible from the streets and not in closed spaces and as long as they abide by the guidelines.
With inspection - no illusions about human nature.
...In order to facilitate the increased public activity, public transportation will be boosted accordingly.

Sports activities are going to be allowed up to 500 meters from the place of residence with a permanent training partner.

Outdoor prayers up to ten people are going to be allowed again.

Netanyahu highlighted that these directives are going to be valid for two weeks "and that if the rate of infection continues to slow and there is a stabilization of the number of severely sick there will be more opening; if not, we will re-instate harsher measures."
This is not a threat, this is an explanation of the experimental conditions.

He also mentioned Sweden - as a negative example. To Israelis the behavior of Sweden is nothing short of horrifying: an example of callous inhumanity masquerading as (classical) liberalism.
