The Knesset plenum on Monday approved in its first reading a bill that would increase the fines for violating the public coronavirus health regulations.
Under the bill, which passed its first reading by a vote of 52-23, the fine for businesses that open against the rules will double from NIS 5,000 to NIS 10,000. The fines for educational institutions that open illegally, along with weddings, parties and other large gatherings, will be set at NIS 20,000.
The bill would also expand the means at the law enforcement authorities’ disposal for enforcing the restrictions.
