i24NEWS DESK | Story (related): Israel’s Health Ministry outlined a new plan Sunday to gradually set things back to normal after weeks-long restrictions imposed on Israelis due to the coronavirus pandemic.



According to the plan, visits of close family relatives will be allowed immediately, including grandparents, Hebrew-language outlet Ynet reported.


Included in the recommendation, which the government has yet to approve, is to allow outdoor congregations of up to 19 people.


Other social gatherings will be allowed beginning May 10, under specific conditions such as wearing facial masks, social distancing and without topping 10 persons.


Malls, food markets, hotels, libraries, museums, zoos, swimming pools and gyms will reopen in two weeks, on May 17. As for schools, fourth to tenth grades will resume studies only on May 31, in groups of no more than 15 pupils.


Weddings and funerals will be allowed with no more than 50 attendees.


As for restaurants, Ynet reported that the Finance Ministry recommends reopening on May 31 but the Health Ministry recommends to open two weeks afterward on June 15.


Meanwhile, Israel’s interim Defense Minister Naftali Bennett called on the government to cancel the mandated isolation at hotels converted to host coronavirus patients for Israelis returning from abroad.


According to Bennett, cited by Ynet, the quarantine at the coronavirus hotels “creates huge psychological problems and has tremendous costs… in the coming months, it will cost the State of Israel a quarter of a billion shekels [US$71.2 million] per month from its budget.”
