Health Ministry Director-General Chezy Levy has signed an order allowing travelers from 20 countries to enter Israel without any quarantine, the Health Ministry says in a statement.
All the countries are regarded as “green,” meaning they have relatively low coronavirus infection rates.
They are Austria, Britain, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Italy, Jordan, Latvia, Lithuania, New Zealand and Slovenia.
The order is retroactive, meaning anyone who arrived from one of those countries in the last 14 days and is quarantining no longer needs to do so.
The exemption from isolation is in effect only if the person did not visit any other country in addition to the “green” countries.
