Following their refusal to wear masks, the pilot decided to inform the Israeli police before landing in Israel about the incident and police officers boarded the plane and took the two out.
Yesterday it was reported that 14 passengers were discovered on a flight from Dubai last week and according to data from the Ministry of Health, 343 Israelis returned from Dubai positive for the corona virus.
It is important to emphasize that everyone who returns to Israel is committed to home isolation no matter what country. The State of Israel has changed the procedures and all countries of the world are currently considered red, which requires isolation for 10 days subject to two corona tests or isolation for 14 days without testing.
