The majority of Israel’s coronavirus restrictions end as the country exits the Omicron wave.
Remaining rules include mask-wearing indoors, testing upon arrival in Israel from abroad, and tests for those entering elder care facilities.
The validity of the Green Pass has been extended.
Infections in Israel have waned in recent weeks, alongside the number of patients in serious condition.
The most recent data released by the Health Ministry shows 534 people are seriously ill. When the hospitalization wave peaked at the start of February, there were 1,241 people in serious condition.
