In Israel, there are several groups of tourists from China who, according to the Ministry of Health's guidance, have stopped their tours and tourists have been asked to wait in the hotels for flights back to China. The Bureau of Tourism Organizers is working with government offices to arrange Chinese flights back to their country.

In the past two days, about 3,000 Chinese tourists have been evacuated from China over the past two weeks. The evacuation was done on Chinese aircraft that received a special landing permit for the purpose of evacuation. The tourists were flown directly to Beijing, Guanzo and Sichuan. At this stage, the bureau members collect all the details of the passengers who are stuck in Israel to arrange their return to China as soon as possible.

There are about 1,000 tourists left in the country, who arrived last week, who have yet to find a solution. Because of the cessation of flights by Chinese and Israeli airlines, most have no way to return to their country. A small number of tourists have airline tickets that are still valid and can fly back to China via Russia or Jordan.

Also, several thousand tourists from China, who left China more than two weeks ago, are traveling in the country, and for which there is no suspicion of exposure to the Corona virus. Some first visited Jordan and only later moved to Israel.

According to the bureau's chief executive, Yossi Fattal, Chinese who know they are not allowed to stay in the hotel, and there are thousands of other tourists from the East with an Asian appearance. The tourists from Asia, especially the Chinese, love Israel, and we want them as tourists even after the crisis, so it's important to act accordingly. "
