According to him, the tenants who run the stores face quite a few difficulties: “One of the difficult problems for them is that the workers do not want to return from sick leave, and the second thing is the fear of fines. There is no doubt that we are in favor of opening the trade. It should be understood that we have never closed the malls, because the mall has vital stores and therefore it remains open. Now we have increased the cleanliness and instructed the guards and we hope that the tenants will come. “
Among the businesses that have announced that they are preparing to open tomorrow: Steve Madden, Ripley, Castro, Papaya, Brill opens stores Gali, Nine West, Lee Cooper, Timberland, Nautica, and Magnolia, Toys R Us, Crazy Lane, Mango, Shilab, Lalin, Fox Fashion, Fox Home, Hamashbir Latzarchan, H&M, Daiso Japan, Renoir, Junction Books, Aldo BODGART, Octopus, Mango, American Eagle, Nike, Billabong, Children Sachs, Byrne Market, Renoir, Magnolia, Bon Sport, iBags, Rebar, Happening, Mega Sports, Pemina, Seasons, Jump, Coffee Coffee, Ronen Chen, Nimrod Shoes, Top Ten, Carolina Lemke, Hoodies, Select and more.
According to the post issued by the forum, the entry of employees and customers will be allowed only in the following cases: people under the age of 60 who received the first vaccine; People over the age of 60 who received the second vaccine; People who hold a recovery certificate; People who present a negative corona test (valid for 72 hours), or children under 16 years of age.
“I want to ask the Minister of Health and the government in general – what did we vaccinate for?” Rosenblum asks. “If public health comes first and you can say that the situation right now is that you want to give and do, then why did we get vaccinated if it does not stand up? The justice minister should decide together with the health minister that whoever got vaccinated can get a bonus, come shopping. We want to help groaning merchants.” .
Earlier, Health Minister Yuli Edelstein told Ynet that “the estimated date of opening the green label business is February 23, as we have shown.” Rosenblum claims that “the date announced by the government is a pathetic date, because when we reach the day before the 23rd of the month, at 23:00, we will be informed that there are two more days of Purim and it is not worth opening the malls because there will be a gathering on Purim holiday. Makes employees not come to work on the other hand. “
– Will you open tomorrow even though you may risk a lawsuit if you only bring in the vaccinated?
“We want to help tenants sell the summer and winter goods that lie in warehouses while they pay hundreds of thousands and millions of shekels. We are in Purim right away and we need to start entering the summer season. If I have to choose between a closed mall and closed stores and a mall open only to those vaccinated, “This is what the government says, so I prefer the open one. If the vaccine is not good, let the prime minister and the health minister come and tell us that they still do not know what is happening with the vaccine, that’s fine too, just do not play with us.”
Alon Deutsch, owner of the select chain, tells Ynet that his network has been working in a take-away format for three days, even though it is forbidden by government restrictions. “Policemen and inspectors have arrived,” Deutsch says, and Rosenblum adds, “I’m sorry I broke out, but they announced that one-on-one trading is allowed. So it’s allowed as much as going on a one-on-one book.”
Deutsch agrees that there is great confusion and clear non-enforcement of the guidelines: “Both one-on-one and takeaways from shops and restaurants are allowed. There are all kinds of inspectors who interpret the law differently, some understand, some do not understand. Of course the bardak celebrates, but we We must survive. We must sell our inventory. We can not finance both summer and winter. Winter is on the shelves, we must sell it so that we have money to continue. On the other hand, we also have all our expenses. The government does not let us “Nothing. I have not received the September-October property tax exemption that I was supposed to receive for being closed until now. The municipalities require us to pay the property tax when we have no income and we are helpless because no one cares.”
– That is, will you not close the doors anymore?
“I have to open and I assure everyone that in the trading industry people are not infected more than infected in all the stores defined as ‘essential’, like grocery stores or stock stores or stores that sell paper napkins or all sorts of things like that and everything that is open all the time, all closure.”
He said that if all the shops were opened, the situation would actually improve: “In this way, the distribution is much greater. It is not 400 people who are on the clothes floor of a semi-free and are doing the shopping under pressure.”
Rosenblum also says that “there is no difference between a writer and one store or another. This morning I heard Minister Eli Cohen, my friend, and I am very angry about what he said, that street stores will not have to go through the green label and stores in malls yes. The store on the street and the store in the mall is the same The store and there is no difference between them. The government does not know what it wants from us, we are collapsing. The merchants are groaning and it does not interest anyone. Everything is political and they should come out of the box, because we vaccinated so they will respect what they announced to the people. “About said after two million will do, now three million. See that we are being played with. “Those who have been vaccinated should know that the government is letting them do what they want, while making sure to wear a mask, for all things.”
Ronblum claims that “in the malls there is complete adherence to masks”, and says that if the morbidity is at its peak as he is told – “then why open the closure?”. Deutsch adds: “Exactly, when there was a closure we participated in the closure, we closed our businesses and stayed at home. Half a million workers are sitting in the house, everyone is injured. If there is a closure – there is a closure. If there is no closure – please open.”
