Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Law provides that the Emergency Regulations (Restriction on the Number of Employees at a Workplace in Order to Reduce the Spread of the New Coronavirus), 2020, in the version set out in the Schedule to the Law, shall remain in force until 6 August 2020. The regulations establish, as a default, a restriction on the number of employees an employer may allow to be present simultaneously at the workplace. An employee is considered to be anyone who works daily at the workplace, even if no employment relationship exists, but for the purpose of calculating the restriction on the number of employees, certain employees considered essential to activity during the coronavirus state of emergency will not be counted. An employer who allows entry or presence of employees at the workplace beyond the employee limit commits a criminal offense. However, an employer who meets several conditions related to the rules known as the "purple badge" will not be subject to the restriction on the maximum number of employees permitted to be present simultaneously at the workplace, unless a coronavirus infection occurs at the workplace. Government ministries are not subject to the restriction on the number of employees, and provisions similar to the purple badge rules have been established for them and their affiliated units. In addition, the restriction on the number of employees does not apply to bodies whose main areas of activity are specified in the First Schedule. A list of bodies whose activity is essential is excluded from the provisions of the regulations and is specified in Regulation 4.
