  • The tourism industry is in danger

Dramatic decisions were made in the last day following the spread of the Corona virus worldwide. In the coming day, a decision will be made on whether to issue a blanket directive to the rest of the world, and to order all returnees from abroad to be in isolation.

Meanwhile, the Health Ministry has issued a statement that all returnees from the UK, the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway will have to enter home isolation for 14 days, similar to returnees from Spain, Germany, France and other countries in Europe and Asia. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health announced that even those returning from Egypt would have to stay in isolation. Interior Minister Aryeh Deri announced last night that he has decided to prevent entry into Israel of anyone who has been in Egypt for the past two weeks and who are not citizens of Israel or its residents. Due to the small number of flights at Ben Gurion Airport, international flights for all airlines will go from Terminal 1 to Terminal 3, except for domestic operations.

The statement from the Health Ministry also referred to returning from the United States, with emphasis on three states - New York, Washington and California. The first two are states where many Israelis and Jews are expected to come to Israel to celebrate Passover, and many Israelis planned to fly there during the holiday season .

Those still affected by the current situation are employees of El Al, the airport authority and business owners in the tourism field. Gilat and Avi Fein, Jewish Israelis running a kosher tourism business in Europe, say: "If it does not calm down this week, a complete Passover in terms of tourism and we will suffer huge losses. People do not understand how bad the situation is."

Baruch Feder, CEO of Thor World, also commented on the situation and said: "We are currently at a loss of about 150,000 euros. We try to minimize damage and work with suppliers. "
