Israel could soon take the final step out of the crisis. The government is now openly talking about a complete opening of the country to fully immunized tourists.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, foreign guests have only been allowed to enter the country in exceptional cases. But that could change soon. After the first group trips from the end of May, individual visits may also be allowed in July. Tourism Minister Orit Farkash-Hacohen suggests this. It is time to take advantage of Israel's “healthy and vaccinated destination”.
Prerequisites are then, among other things, vaccinations recognized by the drug authorities FDA and EMA, a PCR test before departure and an antibody test on arrival, according to the Courier. The country with its slightly more than nine million inhabitants has been successfully implementing a vaccination campaign since December 19. The number of new infections and serious illnesses has fallen sharply. In parallel with the progress of the vaccination campaign, the government gradually began to relax the corona restrictions.
