Minister of Health Yuli Edelstein is backing a law that would significantly increase fines for violation of coronavirus guidelines.

The new fines would include: up to 10,000 shekels for opening a public place or business in violation of guidelines; up to 15,000 shekels for holding a party, gathering, or ceremony that violated guidelines; up to 25,000 shekels for opening an educational institution whose reopening was not yet allowed.
