It’s been two (very long) years but starting on March 1, tourists will finally be allowed to travel to Israel regardless of vaccination status, according to a statement made by the Prime Minister’s Office! This decision follows a meeting Sunday between Prime Minister Bennett, Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz, and Minister of Tourism Yoel Razvozov, where it was agreed that both vaccinated and unvaccinated people are to be allowed entry. A negative PCR test, however, before takeoff and after landing in Israel will still be required, at least for now (in addition to the requirement to fill out a pre-flight form within 48 hours of takeoff: https://corona.health.gov.il/en/flight-form-content/)
Additionally, unvaccinated Israeli citizens re-entering the country will no longer be required to isolate for 5 days upon return (although all Israelis will be required to enter isolation until they either get the results of the PCR test taken after landing, or the expiration of 24 hours, whichever comes first). Also, Israelis will no longer be required to take a PCR test to board a plane on route to Israel.
Within the Israeli school system, starting on Thursday February 24, middle school children will no longer be required to perform twice-weekly antigen tests. On March 10, this requirement will be removed for Elementary students.
As tourists will now be allowed to enter the country, it is hoped that Israel will continue once again to be a major tourist destination for people all over the world looking for their unique, one-of-a kind experience! To book your amazing tour, click here.
