In a statement issued by Israel’s Prime Minister, Neftali
Bennett, and Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz, the restrictions on passengers
arriving at Israel’s Ben-Gurion International Airport will run until at least
the 22 of December.
Under the current requirements, all Israelis returning from
abroad must self-quarantine until they receive confirmation of a negative
coronavirus PCR test result, while those arriving from high-risk countries are
required to isolate at a state-governed quarantine hotel until they receive a
negative PCR test result.
The statement also said additional restrictions and
incentives for vaccination may be imposed in the coming days.
Israel has identified at least 21 cases of the highly mutated omicron coronavirus variant first detected in southern Africa. Israel, a country of 9.3 million people, has reported 8,210 deaths from the coronavirus since the start of the pandemic.
Most of its population — over 6.3 million
people — has received at least one dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, and
more than 4 million Israelis have received a booster.
