The Health Ministry has released new guidelines to allow the performance of Brit Milahs (circumcisions)
According to the new guidelines, up to 19 people will be allowed to attend a Brit Milah, including the baby, the mohel, and any necessary staff, the Kikar Hashabbat Hebrew news site reported. Organizers must ensure that no one from an at-risk group attends the Brit Milah.
If there are two floors with separate entrances, 19 people can attend on each floor for a total of 38 attendees.
The Health Ministry also emphasized that the food for the festive meal at the Brit Milah must come from a dining or catering establishment which has a business license from the Health Ministry.
The Ministry also stated that the tools must be sterilized, the mohel must wear sterile disposable gloves and a mask for the duration of the ceremony.
Anyone who is not directly involved in the procedure must maintain a two meter distance from everyone else.
