Tel Aviv: Israel government removed several countries from its ‘Red List’ of banned destinations. The health ministry in the country removed UAE, the United Kingdom, United States, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Mexico, Switzerland and Turkey from the list.
Last month, Israel barred travel to these countries to contain the spread of Omicron variant of Covid-19. Israel government also eased the entry ban imposed on foreigners. According to the new guidelines, all vaccinated foreigners from low-risk countries will be allowed to enter Israel.
