In an effort to prevent further cases of the omicron strain of coronavirus entering the country, Israel decided on Thursday to extend its tight travel restrictions, including a ban on all foreign nationals entering the country, for a further ten days.
According to a statement published by Israel’s Prime Minister, Neftali Bennett, and Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz, the limitations on passengers arriving at Ben-Gurion International Airport will remain in effect until at least December 22.
All Israelis returning from abroad must self-quarantine until they receive confirmation of a negative coronavirus PCR test result, while those coming from high-risk countries must isolate at a state-run quarantine facility at Ben-Gurion International Airport, until they receive a negative PCR test result.
