The Ministry of Health demands that returnees from Dubai enter the isolation of hotels as early as tonight (Sunday to Monday) at midnight.
Corona's commissioner, Prof. Nachman Ash, said earlier in the briefing: "We have located four people who entered Dubai over the weekend. These are people who have stayed exclusively in Dubai. There have been 20 confirmed cases and seven contagion chains. In a motel upon return to Israel (alongside South Africa, Brazil, Zambia and more) ".
Prof. Ash added that it is "difficult to make a hermetic barrier at the border, but we are doing everything to block these mutations into the country. We are promoting a duty of inspection 72 hours before boarding the plane."
As you may recall, about a month ago, the decision to isolate all returnees from abroad in a motel, including passengers who returned to Israel from Dubai, provoked resentment on the part of returnees to Israel in the field.
"Unbelievable, what is it? We are treated like dogs," said one of the Israelis who returned to Israel.
"Why did you tell us 'fly to a green country'? Go learn from Dubai how people behave. You keep sick people here," an elderly man noted.
Another passenger returning from Dubai shouted: "Put us a yellow badge, we are back from Dubai. Bring me Ciprofloxacin, I can not be in a hotel."
