but the use of masks in closed spaces will remain in place. According to the minister, the use of facial
coverings in open places will no longer be required.

dinning activities, are no longer required to abide by a preset attendance
threshold.
For restaurants and
cafes, the restrictions related to table seating capacity will also be
canceled, the minister added. Shboul also revealed that Ramadan tents and mass
iftar banquets will also be allowed.
The minister also
