"A rapid and successful vaccination campaign has propelled Israel to the top of the list of safest countries in the world," Bloomberg wrote today (Thursday).

"Since the vaccination campaign began about three months ago, Israel has been the most vaccinated country in the world in relation to the population. The vaccine's effectiveness is like a magic bullet that reduces the morbidity, mortality and spread of the virus in the population. .
New Zealand still ranks first in the world, a country that has experienced very few infections, but has closed many times, even in situations where a single patient is found.
In second place in the world is Singapore, in third place Australia, in fourth place Taiwan and in fifth place as mentioned - the State of Israel.
Those behind Israel on the honorable list are South Korea in sixth place, China in seventh place, Japan in eighth place, Thailand in ninth place, Norway in tenth place and in 11th place is the United Arab Emirates, where the vaccination rate is also encouraging and morbidity is declining sharply.
No country in the top ten is currently receiving Israeli tourists, although Thailand plans to open its gates for the summer.
Greece, the country to which quite a few Israelis will soon fly, has fallen by about twenty places and is now in 41st place on the list, after already being in 20th place about a month ago.
Turkey, to which many Israelis are already flocking, is in 27th place and neighboring Egypt, which many Israelis will visit on Passover if the Taba crossing opens as expected, is almost at the bottom of the list, in 49th place.
The least secure country in the ranking is Mexico, in 53rd place, to which quite a few Israelis fly.
Mexico has vaccinated very little of the population, there are almost no restrictions in the country and the number of patients and deaths in it is very high relative to any country in the world.
Just above Mexico are the Czech Republic in 52nd place, Brazil in 51st place, Poland in 50th place, Iraq in 48th place, Romania in 47th place and Colombia in 46th place.
The United States, which was already in the 40th place in the world, rose by almost 20 places and is today in 21st place on the list of safest countries, even in this case, thanks to an impressive rate of immunization.
Many Israelis continue to fly to the United States, where most countries receive Israeli tourists without the need for isolation. Other prominent countries on the list: Germany in 23rd place, Russia in 22nd place and the Netherlands in 29th place.
