Israel has postponed the date of opening borders for tourists due to the omicron strain of COVID-19
The Israeli authorities have postponed the issue of opening borders for Russian travelers in order to prevent the omicron strain of COVID-19 from entering the country. “Moskovsky Komsomolets” writes about this.
So, on Tuesday, November 30, the republican ministerial commission on combating coronavirus at an emergency meeting decided to close the borders for tourists for 14 days.
At the same time, it is clarified that the entry of foreigners into the country is allowed only in emergency cases. To do this, they will need to obtain permission approved by a special commission on exceptions.
Earlier it was reported that Israel planned to open to Russian tourists on December 1. Until that time, the country was going to announce the recognition of the Sputnik V vaccine. Israeli Tourism Minister Yoel Razvozov named the necessary conditions: so far, only those who received the second dose of the drug no more than six months ago will be able to enter the republic.
