Israel bans the entry of foreigners on international flights for the next two weeks to combat the spread of the Omicron variant of Covid-19.
The decision, reports the Times of Israel, was made by the committee to fight the coronavirus.
The other measures decided are an isolation of at least three days for Israeli citizens arriving from abroad.
Those from countries in the red zone will have to quarantine in hotels indicated by the authorities until they have a negative anti-Covid test result.
The Shin Bet internal security service will be employed to locate infected people.
