לHere's the English translation:
Dear Clients,
The coronavirus outbreak is intensifying, and the Israeli economy is in a defensive posture. Despite maintaining my optimism, and despite having no doubt that we will overcome this as well, it's clear to me that many of you are facing uncertainty. Therefore, I thought it appropriate to post on the agency's website an information tab about coronavirus, including an article dealing with the tension between coronavirus and the construction industry. The article provides current data regarding the impact of coronavirus on the construction industry, but also - more importantly - deals with concrete and substantial solutions.
In the articles you can read about various topics such as:
What are the main dangers expected for the construction industry as a result of the virus outbreak?
Does contractor work insurance cover damages caused as a result of coronavirus?
What are the correct steps regarding workers' lodging at the construction site (the state has increased the scope of Palestinian workers' stay permits in Israel by more than 300%)?
Why do you need to treat every work day at the construction site as the last day before a 14-day shutdown?
What's important to know about contractor work insurance and protecting a "dormant" site?
What are the main emphases regarding employment of workers during the coronavirus period (characterized by many sick days, isolation, and site shutdowns as a result of workers/visitors' exposure to the virus)?
Among other things, you can read experts' references on the subject. Among them, the law firm Yohanan Gaveh, Hadar & Co., references from the letter of the chairman of the Contractors Association Builders of the Land, Raul Srugo, and highlighting the meaning behind a letter sent by the Ministry of Housing and Construction to contractors in Israel, and more.
Above all, dear clients, we are available for you throughout the entire period.
Itzik Simon Insurance Agency, the leading agency in Israel for construction insurance, continues to work as usual and beyond. In light of the situation, we are available both in routine and in emergency.
For any question or issue, you can contact us through contact creation as well as direct phones.
We promise to respond professionally, quickly and efficiently, and to treat each person with full attention.
With wishes of health to everyone,
Itzik Simon CEO
