A source in the Ministry of Health clarified this morning (Sunday) that “if we see mass dancing at weddings, we will have to close the area again. It’s on the table, everyone understands it. And the gyms. “
The senior’s remarks come against the backdrop of the third pulse of the opening of the economy as part of the process of emerging from the corona crisis. As you may recall, this morning the restaurants, bars and event gardens opened in the green and purple format.
“We told the hall owners, on every possible stage, if the weddings and events seem to become contagious parties, we will go back. We are currently open to allow people to get married and have celebrations, but the plague is still here and we ban dance floors,” the source concluded.
