Israel is all ready to welcome the unvaccinated tourists as COVID-19 cases decline in the country. Israel was an early Trailblazer of a national vaccine rollout and among the first countries who demanded a vaccination certificate and called for the green pass to enter a range of facilities.

Israel has become the first who is allowing unvaccinated tourists entry for the first time since the pandemic started as infections and deaths caused by the COVID-19 pandemic decreased, Prime Minister ‘Naftali Bennett’ announced this on February 20 Sunday.

According to Prime Minister ‘Naftali Bennett’ we see a constant decline in morbidity data.

Israel shut down their borders for travellers in early 2020 as the virus was spread worldwide. “It is the time to slowly open what we were at the first time in the world to close, said Prime Minister.

The Jewish state was also an early trailblazer of a national vaccine rollout and among the first country who demand a vaccination certificate, which is called the green pass, to enter a range of facilities.

The new rules will enforce from March 1. Tourists will need to take a PCR test before boarding a flight to Israel and a second one upon landing.

However, Israeli citizens will only be required to take the test upon arrival.

On Thursday, Bennett noted a decline in infections after he announced an end to the green pass.

1,00,000 new fresh COVID cases were reported on February 20 Sunday after the announcement made by the prime minister in Israel, down from a high of more than 85,000 daily cases at the end of January. Nine thousand eight hundred forty-one people lost their lives due to the severe illness, including seven were reported on Saturday.

An attempt to open the borders to vaccinated visitors last November foundered after just a few weeks because of the fast-spreading Omicron coronavirus variant.
