Israel Will Open Borders to Vaccinated Tourist Groups Next Month
(Bloomberg) --
Israel plans to crack open its doors next month to tourists for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic.
Beginning May 23, vaccinated tourists traveling in a group will be allowed to enter, because groups are easier to monitor than individual tourists, the Health Ministry said.
Travelers will have to undergo PCR testing for coronavirus before boarding a plane to Israel, and will be checked again upon arrival.
The program will be re-evaluated at an unspecified later date to see if it can be extended to individuals.
