The number of people allowed to enter the country is no longer limited, and the entry quota system has been abolished in Israel, according to the Jerusalem Post.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Israeli government on Saturday lifted the daily limit of 3,000 passengers entering the country while also approving new rules for arrivals and departures from Ben-Gurion Airport, which will take effect on Saturday.
According to the new rules, flights will be scheduled based on the airport’s capacity to receive them, while incoming passengers will be subjected to Covid-19 testing, and social distancing will be maintained along with regular temperature checks of passengers entering the terminal and prior to boarding will be discontinued.
The most important feature of the new forms is that Israelis leaving the country do not need to send a request for approval to a special committee according to reports, the new rules will be followed until March 28, according to the Jerusalem Post.
Israelis who want to go on holiday in the Sinai should be able to do so, now that the Taba Border Crossing between Israel and Egypt reopened at midnight. However, the defense Minister Benny Gantz and Tourism Minister Orit Farkash Hacohen agreed that a few days would be required to ensure that the crossing runs safely and in accordance with the same Covid-19 health guidelines as the airport.
